I met my late wife at a back yard party back in 82 i was 16 and fresh out of juvinal hall after 3 years we danced all night and throughout the years we danced in our living room now i play it at her grave site.i miss her very much.
I was born in 1988. Growing up, my Dad ( from 18th st gang) would play the midnighters and sing along to it too on the weekends when my mom would put us to work around the house! And as a no sabo kid in America, this group made me feel included in the community. Ritchie Valens and Selena did the same for me!i am not fluent in Spanish but I’m still of Mexican heritage!! U can’t just Cancel US ! I love you Dad!
My beloved brother passed away in January of 2024 and he was burried with the town i live in on the side of his coffin...long live big frank...this one hits different....save me a chair carnal🕊️🫶💔
I was little and from Montebello CA and my mother always dropped my sister at the Montebello Ballroom on Whittier BLVD. where thee Midniters. were playing before they were famous
Grew up in the Big O.C. my familia was all East Los, even married a E.Los sweet heart... Back in the 70's, when music was music and the living was easy! Thanx for sharing, one of the best Chicano groups of all times!
man i feel like i was born in the wrong age sometimes.... i played this for my friends and they called it depressing........ -___- they obviously never heard of soul before
Wish I was born in this Era. I can only imagine what life would of been like. Im from 91 and grew up listening to Thee Midniters because of my dad❤ Puro East LA !!!
Timeless classic. I'm only 32 but it brings back a lot of memories of my childhood. The fam bumping bad ass oldies in the garage during family parties & cruising in pop's 1952 Deluxe
My son was just 18 when he was so interested in my oldies and came across the Midnighters !!!he was hooked and the Town I live in is lonely “ was 1 of his favorites !! Wow did we dance until he left to serve as a Navy submariner I am so proud of him but it was only Thee Midnighters that made him love music!!!
Man, a real trasure to find this. I was in 6th grade when my older brother introduced me to Thee Midniters. I can remember when we'd go to the "Battle of the Bands" Salesian High would put on at ELAC.
The town I live in is lonely I get so lonely till I have to cry I told my mother I was through I told her just what I was going to do If I live one more year I'm packing my bags, getting away from here The town I live in is so lonely till I have to cry But I'm not ashamed to tell you that I cried Cause I lost my baby, if you see her Tell her to come on home I should tell you I loved her And that I need her now, here by my side To be my guide, I want to know If anybody seen my baby? If you see her, tell her that I love her Tell her that I was wrong Tell her to don't make me dream all alone I lost my baby, ooh, Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I want to know if you seen my baby If you see her, tell I was wrong And don't make me dream all alone Cause I want my baby, if you see her Tell her I love her I was a fool; I just didn't know what to do The town I'm live in is lonely
I'm 22 but damn do I wish I lived back in these days...come from a family with OG's so grew up listening to this type of music! EL SERENO born and raised ! Peace and love.
@@angelinaduran-miller4255 Dang Angelina...my family moved to Porterville from Wisconsin in 1950 when I was 3! Never heard anyone mention Porterville in my life! We used to go swimming at the big plunge in Visalia with our dad all the time. Moved to Tulare in ''51 or ''52, left there summer of '56. You ever hear of the Merced Blue Notes???
I grew up in Pacoima and went to San Fernando High School. At three o’clock, my buddies and I would rush out to our cars to listen to Huggie Boy and he would play Thee Midnighters. They would perform once and a while at Carpenters’ Hall in Panorama City.
my brother bump this in the 70s before we go to sleep i was 10 years old im 53 now ..park village days Compton was active ...still banging this classic in my lolo
I feel you . Lovely memories never go away.. I'm going through it again except I'm older . RELATIONSHIPS ALL END! people move on, pass away, and some just forget. That's life. Pero estas rolas soothe the pain with old memories, again.
Although rarely said, during that period we had Motown, Surfer Music, British Rock, Folk Rock, Metal, and soft rock such as S & G or James Taylor but you never hear that there was an E.L.A. sound. At least once a month they'd play at ELAC Auditorium. One stage, the one you are watching, starts dropping and another behind it rises with another band playing. You'd the next band getting louder as their stage rose while the band on stage is still playing but sinking into the basement. Great times.
I LOVE YOU ROBERT "LEFTY" LOYA! .WITH ALL MY ALL. THESE OLDIES ARE US TILL THE LAST BREATH WE TAKE. BABY LOVE BETWEEN A BOY AND GIRL... AND I'M STILL HERE! LOVE YOU SINCERLY RUBY BETANCIS IN BELL GARDENS,CALIFORNIA

The town I live in is lonely
I get so lonely till I have to cry
I told my mother I was through
I told her just what I was going to do
If I live one more year
I'm packing my bags, getting away from here
The town I live in is so lonely till I have to cry
But I'm not ashamed to tell you that I cried
Cause I lost my baby, if you see her
Tell her to come on home
I should tell you I loved her
And that I need her now, here by my side
To be my guide, I want to know
If anybody seen my baby?
If you see her, tell her that I love her
Tell her that I was wrong
Tell her to don't make me dream all alone
I lost my baby, ooh, Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
I want to know if you seen my baby
If you see her, tell I was wrong
And don't make me dream all alone
Cause I want my baby, if you see her
Tell her I love her
I was a fool; I just didn't know what to do
The town I'm live in is lonely
Respect to Willie G...I bump this song with my pops everytime we cruzin through the streets
I'm 22 but damn do I wish I lived back in these days...come from a family with OG's so grew up listening to this type of music! EL SERENO born and raised ! Peace and love.
