One of the most romantic songs of all time. I don’t understand why music can’t be like this today
Yes I agree, this song resonates love thru and thru. Great slow dancing song, to get close to the one you love.
Agree. I miss this kind of music.
For sure
Thanks for technology making humans with machine like feelings
It can. And does.
I've heard this song a zillion times and it still makes me melt.
Me too 🥰
Yessss ✌️
Yes and I agree with you!
It makes cry every time I hear this song because I haven't found real love coming from that one woman who cares so much about me!
Me too
Slick ………beautiful
Great selection. The Flamingos’ harmonies are otherworldly.
Yes, that's the word for their musical sounds, their singing and the background instruments!
Actually the Flamingo that arranged this song dreamed it and went to the studio at 4am to record it
The only thing more beautiful than hearing the song for the first time is getting to watch others fall in love with it the way I did. So beautiful
Classic 4 reasons
It seems like a whole new world is opening up for you two. Discovering all the great talent and class of the old Doo-wop groups and music from the past. This kind of music carried over into the 60's & 70's especially with some of the groups from Philadelphia- The Stylistics, The Intruders, The Originals, The Delfonics, and others.
It really does my heart good to see their reactions he's a real musicians and singers what a great history we have
Old music accounts for 70% of all music sales.
The Belmonts, Mystics, Skyliners,
Ain't nothing on the charts today that will ever compare to this song, or songs from this era.
Facts !
SO TRUE.
That of course is your opinion. However, the 60s 70s and 80s had great Love Songs as well.
Originally written in 1934, The Flamingos version went to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Simply Iconic Song.
Sorry, meant to write it went to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1959. Thanks.
I love 1930s music - Several hits of the 1950s and 1960s were originally 1930s songs.
I'm surprised it didn't hit number one.
It should have been number one!
WORD!
Most romantic song ever written period.
Truly one of the most hauntingly beautiful love songs ever written, and I'm certain that the Flamingo's performance will remain THE version listeners remember forever more ....
Well said David! 😊
@@ruthie4766 Thanks, Ruthie!
@@davidzimmerli489 You're very welcome David! 😊
True. Art Garfunkel has a melter also. He put his heart and soul, into it.
@@ivangranger8494 True. I remember that now. Thanks!
This song will never become old.
One of my all time favorites. Definitely one of the classiest love songs ever.
Mel's reaction is utterly sublime. The girl certainly knows her heart and feelings. Bless you, Mel.
I agree, one of the best love songs ever created, Mel felt it!
Over 60 years and I still love love this song. Makes me feel good that this generation enjoy our music!
Made me want to be 16 again. At the drive-in falling in love with my high school Sweet Sweet boyfriend. No one else in the world
Just the 2 of us. I'm 73 yrs old ..Thank you guys
That's when the brothers and sisters honed their vocal skills on the street corners , school yards and bathrooms and hallways for acoustics)and especially in church, that created the music that touches people around the world today.
I love when young people can realize parents and grandparents were listening to this music...YES...they were hip to good shit...thanks to you for understanding old songs are awesome and that this is where we get our songs from today ❤
Still gives me chills all these years later. My wife and I chose this as our wedding song. To think that young people used to stand on the street corner and harmonize like this....just incredible. Sure wish that happened today
The Flamingos were one of the early 50's doo-wop groups. They were known for their great harmonies & choreography moves. They influenced other acts such as The Temptations later on. "I Only Have Eyes For You" is their biggest hit but they had quite a few good songs "If I Can't Have You", "That's My Desire", "Golden Teardrops", "I'll Be Home", "Lovers Never Say Goodbye" etc.
This song came out before I was born. But this right here, has got to be the most powerful beautiful song. I mean, the harmonies on this song are perfect. I truly believe that Doo Wap groups were the best. Great choice. This one gives me goosebumps.
Fantastic reaction to a great song. We can see that Shawn was floored by it and it speaks to his love for Mel... LOVE IT !!!
Is this not one of the greatest, most beautiful, romantic, insightful songs you've ever heard? It's at the very top of my list of perfect recordings -- just incredible... Other commentators confirm that I'm neither alone nor out of my mind when I laud this song as one of the greatest ever! Everything about it is pure gold!
The ULTIMATE slow dance song!
You two are so sweet! Shawn, I loved it when you took her hand. These songs are written and sung to get a certain response and yours was genuine. There were so many beautiful love songs written and performed during the doo-wop era. And I love that you two are exposing yourselves to so much different music. This kind of music is rapidly being forgotten.
Yup....music just does NOT have that effect on people anymore!
@@franklambert5399 It does me, gives me peace to hear songs like this, and I passed it down to my children and grand children!!
@@Cheryltwin2012 thank you so much❤️
I still cant believe this song exists. It's unreal how amazing it is.
I KNEW IT!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! My husband and I danced our first dance to this song in July 2002. Light some candles, have a glass of wine and dance in your living room.
I’m a 50-something-year-old guy who listens to mostly jazz, classical and folk music but suddenly had the urge to seek out this song, which I used to hear on the radio every once in a while as a “golden oldie” when I was younger. I listened to it and then saw this video in the feed and checked it out because I was curious. Let me just say, I really loved that the two of you were just getting into the sheer beauty of the song. The chord changes and harmonies have a magic to them. Sometime I’d like to see a video explanation of what musically makes this song so unique, but for now, just seeing you younger folks just bask in its beauty was rewarding in itself. We need more beauty in the world and more people who are not afraid to unashamedly be moved by beauty when they come across it. Bless you two.
My wife and I have been hypnotized by this song since it hit the radio in 1959.
It has always sounded like something you heard in a dream you had.
The song goes back before the Flamingoes had it.
But their guitar player heard a new way to do it in his dream the night before the session.
That's where that shoo-bop shoo-bop came from.
He thought it would be cool to show people what his dream sounded like.
He was right and the song became a monster hit.
Showing folks a groovy thing and turning them on to it.
It's the same thing groovy people do no matter what year it is.
Come to think of it you guys are showing everybody groovy stuff and turning us on too.
It is just the same now as it was then!
I looked up the original version and they definitely made this song their own.
73 years old This 50's musictakes me back to a simpler time and place. Still remember slow dancing with Gail to this song Haven't seen her for over 50 years but when i hear this song I'm right back there.
An icon of popular music. A classic! Created in 1959, and it still stands neck-and-neck with other great ballads.
Seriously, there is nothing like dancing with the one you love to this song! :)
Nice reaction. I was born in 1959 and this song was our wedding song. I still feel this way toward my wife after 28 years. Thanks for the reaction, I feel it all. :)
I’ve always loved this song. Besides the voices and harmony, it has a great example of one of the hallmarks of 50s and 60s music-the BACKBEAT!
You hear the slow downbeat, but also the faster beat in the background, usually made by a piano or keyboard.
This song is such classic! One of so many great songs from “my era”.
Hey guys - if you want to stop for a few and take care of things, it's ok - we can wait...
Been listening to this song for 65 years - very used to this reaction - LOL!
"Sh-bop, sh-bop" Sweet! That piano and that guitar with the slight reverb and the sh-bop sh-bops give this song a mystery feeling that persists to this day. Credit The Flamingos with adding those parts to the song, which was written twenty five years before they made the song theirs with their 1959 recording of it.
So spare and haunting. Bloody brilliant.
I just love your reactions to a Doo Wop song it is pure classical...Doo Wop music is classic and will never be undone...
I was a little girl when this came out but I knew on some level that this is how I wanted to be treated when I grew up. I still get chills when I hear this song.
If only today's music, lyrics and harmonies were even close to these amazing records, the world would be a happier place. ❤
One of my dad’s favorite thanks for the memory peace love and joy to you
This, folks, is pure music at its finest. There isn’t a rapper in existence that could even be in the same universe talent-wise as these incredibly gifted musicians.
Haunting. I feel as if I'll dream about this song tonight. The unforgettable Flamingos.
So glad you guys are discovering these great tunes. The Doo Wop era was the most magical in all of rock history. So many amazing groups, so many amazing songs. Gotta dive into more too, like The Platters, Maurice Williams, etc. Nothing will ever be like this era, if course the 50s hold a special place in my heart.
This song is the most dreamier, most romantic of that era, and one of the most in history. I've always loved I Only Have Eyes for You. Read up a bit on how Terry arranged it.
Thanks for the vid, great stuff!
This song sets fire to the soul and melts you like a candle! Truly beautiful.
Best slow-dancing song .... ever!
I love how you guys appreciate my Grandmother's and Mother's music. They introduced me to it and I never forgot these musicians talent. 🤩😍
I remember being 13 years old, late hot summer night at a fair with amusement park rides, the lights, the smell of the cotton candy and this song being played over the loudspeakers. It was all like some crazy slow motion dream. It struck me as so beautiful and will stay with me forever. This is the ultimate song.
This comment strikes me as so beautiful. Thank you for sharing a precious memory.
Lord have mercy! Played at my wedding as our first dance. It makes me smile and cry at the same time. Love y’all 💕
God bless you for allowing yourselves to witness true greatness!!! This is what you call singing - The Flamingos!!
Another great one.This is a beautiful song.Check out Tommy Edwards "Its All in the Game",and Smokey Robinson and Linda Rondstadt "Ooo Baby Baby."
The 50's music had alot of heart
One of the greatest love songs of all-time!
I saw the FLAMINGOS back in the live and they were fabulous. They are still my favorite group of all time
I have been waiting for this one!
ME TOO!!!!!
The Flamingos was and is one of the Best Doo wop Groups or Harmonies of all time Lovers never say good buy is one of my all time favorite and Dream of life time great
Isn't it just the most romantic song ever, whew!! The memories of days gone by. So glad you love it. Thanks for playing it.
I absolutely loved this song as a child listening to the radio while I fell asleep. This song and the Duprees You Belong To Me, so lovely and romantic. 👍👍👍
The movie "A BRONX TALE" comes to mind when i hear this song.
The greatest song and group of all time. These voices, their harmony is beyond compare. The Flamingos were the best!!!
They were very good. HOWEVER, they did/do have competition! May I introduce:The Mighty Dells!😎
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded! I'll DIE on THAT hill! 💯😎
So romantic!
I absolutely believe her reaction is sincere lol, i first saw this song on tv in an Amazon commercial with an elderly couple dancing to it. So when i came to youtube to listen to it; im a grown-ass man im 28 and the song got to me too, put me in a mood lol! Its timeless
They make you feel the love, Mel. I feel this song too.
It's called harmony. It doesn't get any better than this. Shame it no longer exists with any of todays music.
In the late 50's and early 60's we spent lots of date nights parking and listening to this great music and dancing on dark country roads...sweet memories!!!
Back then they had a special way of telling someone that they loved someone.
I loved how lovey you and your wife became during the song! It was just beautiful to see how much you love each other! This song made and makes many women melt. Yes this is dwowhop . Mel’s hair looks beautiful and fantastic!
Always gives me Goose Bumps. That is what love is supposed to feel like.
I always thought this beautiful, haunting version of this wonderful 1934 song was like a transmission from outer space!! Truly masterfully done!
I can't believe you had the Flamingos. I was 16 when I first heard them. I am 73 now and my new boyfriend introduced me to them. They were wonderful. Still love to Hear them.
When you said this song made my wife melt and it was by the Flamingoes I knew it was "I only have eyes for you". Women had the same reaction back in 1959.
One of my favorite top 5 LOVE SONGS ❤❤❤. Gorgeous melody, smooth lyrics, the harmonizing. Perfection. Through the decades when other performers covered the song....they all nailed it, because its just a magnificent song.
Thank you both for bringing this music to the younger generations who missed it the first time around.
Absolutely the best and most romantic song ever recorded!
Evergreen - Barbra Streisand. The love song from the movie A Star is Born from my generation. The Way We Were - Barbra Streisand)
(The Three Fates - ELP Take a pebble Knife edge live from The Beat Club) (Wishing You Were here - Chicago & the Beach boys
Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon - Chicago live Tanglewood and be sure it is 14 minutes and not the cut up version)
This takes me right back to my high school dances at the end of the 50s, and it never gets stale, still as fresh today as the first time I heard it.
Wow, this is a song that's being going on since 1934, interpreted along the way by some very great singers. This doo-wop version is just sublime.
Possibly THE best romance song of all time.
Possibly the greatest love song ever recorded. Iconic. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes is a close second IMO.
This is a song of sedduction. This was a massive hit and it lingers among the forevers
Hi Shawn and Mel! I enjoyed your reaction very much. When I was a little girl my parents had several albums from a group called the Mills Brothers. I loved them and always asked my Mom to play their records. Groups like the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spot started performing in the 1930's. They developed a smooth rich textured sound that was the inspiration for all the wonderful doo-wop groups that came in the 1950's. I think you might really like them too. I hope I found another rabbit hole for you to go down. :). You guys are great keep up the good work. Here is a video I found of one of my favorite Mills Brothers songs, it is very sweet. th-cam.com/video/jskwqEmJzSE/w-d-xo.html
Oh yes, they must listen to The Ink Spots.
I adored the MIlls Brothers from a young age! Their versions of Mood Indigo, One Dozen Roses, Paper Doll, so many others...
Best reaction yet!! They know good music 🎶 !
Love watching younger generation response to some of greatest music ever recording also Mel's response was heart warming you all made me smile.
I’m 74, I was 11 when this song came out. I loved it then, and I still love it now. One of the best love songs ever.
I was wondering when you guys were going to hear this one. One of the most iconic Doo Wop songs there was. This is one of those songs where you will never forget that you have listened to The Golden Age of Doo Wop.
The first time I heard this song was in the movie "American Graffiti"...loved it ever since and still gives me goosebumps!
FABLOUS BEAUTIFUL MEANINGFUL MUSIC BACK IN THE DAY THEY KEPT IT REAL
This is an absolutely great song.Can't get any more romantic. Perfect reaction. Thanks so much
The talent of these guys is beyond anything today. Just amazing.
This song was originally written in the 1920's, which just shows that great songs are always timeless as are great performances. BTW, the two of you have become my favorite reactors because you react to a much wider spectrum of music and bands, and your enthusiasm for these great songs matches my own
Can’t believe I was six years old then.
So happy your enjoying this generation as well as the sixty’s.
The Flamingos, The Moonglows..some of the best romantic songs ever.
Absolutely Mesmerizing!!
One of my top favorite song of all times. This also reminds off the movie, " A Bronx Tale" from 1993. The part with C and Jane. He's Italian and she's African American. I remember hearing it from American Graffiti too. Yall need to add this timeless classic on your Playlist. I can see in my mind when everyone either out crusing, or out parking over looking the city, hills or ocean.
Thank you thank you thank you an absolute favorite I was hoping you do this one they don't write em or sing em like this any more
One of the best love songs…that first line is my favorite, “My love must be a kind of blind love, I can’t see anyone but you”.
Holy c**p! That is my child hood. I think before I was a teenager maybe around,10 years old, in the 60's hearing this on the radio. Swaying alone in my room. WOW!
❤ The Flamingos I only have eyes for you from 1959 still the içon of all( LOVE SONG) Still plays..
The "shoo-wop shoo wop," is the heartbeat of the guy when he sings this to his girlfriend...🥰😍
One of the most beautiful songs ever made.
This was absolutely "doo-wop", and there are few, if any, better examples of it. I had this played at my wedding, my wife had never heard it before (she was 10 years younger than me). It had the same effect on her that it had on Mel.
Great choice, guys.
I would suggest another great "doo-wop" song as a companion piece to this, I think you'll like it as much if not more. It's called "Once in A While" by The Chimes, from around 1960 or so. Do yourselves--and your viewers--a favor and check it out.
It's so fun to watch you two discover great music from the 60's and the 70's.....!!!
This is Example #1 of songs that became “Our Song” for loving couples over a lifetime!
It’s magic was working on u both!!
When they held hands 🎶
