I think it's cute and wonderful. The times appeared more innocent but Dion actually had a heroin addiction since his early teens which I found shocking. I didnt know heroin was a thing in the 50s. Anyway he appeared to have kicked the habit and has gone on live a good life. Good for him. Not many escape it.
I adore this song, and the old footage, and the incredible voices, and the simple, yet effective way they dance. Gosh, I love older songs; they're so much classier.
Im in my 30s an love the classics if it wasent for this music we wouldent have the music we have today and those guy knew how to sweep a women off her feet
i know right. and the guys especially, truly loved their girlfriend and it was real. they were also so polite and educated too unlike most guys today:(
Dion: the ultimate doo-wop singer. The Belmonts: the ultimate doo-wop group. "A Teenager in Love": the ultimate doo-wop song. It doesn't get any better than this. Awesome!
Just commenting so you get the notification so you can come back to this masterpiece. I just discovered this group and im absolutely impressed with the harmony and how good they sound together. So If I enjoy them this much im sure you enjoy them 10x more.
Brings back such lovely memories for me : I was 18 when this was a hit. We had lovely music in the 50's and 60' : simple romantics lyrics with lovely melodies.
i live in the other worldand haven't been back for at least 500 earth years. that makes me about -500 years old and i love this music. hope when i come back this music is back in style.
I remember seeing this on tv with my Mom when I was a little girl. She loved watching American Bandstand and dancing with my sister and I. I grew up in the best of times :-)
This footage was used in the 1986 movie "Peggy Sue Got Married". Added to the reality of the scene. It was great the day the sang it on AB, great in the movie scene, and remains great all these years later
There is no other song that captures the innocence, simplicity and sweetness of the 50's better than this song, the lyrics, melody and Dion's voice. Now at age 80 + he can still sing this song with the same pathos and beauty of those younger years, amazing.
Music such as this will remain in demand, if not forever, at least as long as our generation lives. They were then Golden Years. and I didn't realize it until they were gone.
Hello 👋 mary How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.
What a wonderful surprise to see that today on you tupe that was also one of my faforite song when I was a teenager thank you so much you tupe I can't be liebe that so nice Jutta freya
These guys Sound great a lot better than the music is today I remember the song as a kid wow how the years have gone by thanks for the video I love this song a lot thank you so much
I get goosebumps just listening to how old and long ago this was recorded. Just imagine even for a split moment feeling what it was like to be there and feel the crowd and music
It would be so awesome to go back in time and be as young person that night, as long I could return to present time otherwise I would about 80, just love Dion, I live in Australia and missed out on seeing him when he toured here about 1984.
Wow! Dick Clark looks very young and he did a great job as host of American Bandstand. He always had class acts. And Dion and The Belmonts were a phenomenal group who are still entertaining true Doo Wop music lovers. This song is the song I associate and remember them by the most. Great song and words and act. Listen to the girls going nuts over these guys. An incredible classic group.
Ime 41 years old,I have 5 children who have all been bought up on this music, as well as all of us being Elvis fans we love Dion and countless others, their are alot of young people out their that like the old music but don't share it for fear of being tormented by their friends. My children don't care so neither should anyone else. This music will never die.
I am Dutch and when i was little my father always listening to to this songs , he grow up in Vancouver , Canada . He came here when he was 18 years old.. Now I listening to this song and I understand why he always listening to this beaurtifull songs ,He missed he's life in Canada ,never got the chance to go back...so sorry for that....RIP Daddy miss you so much ...me and my children listening to this music ❤❤ love you so much ❤
My parents were kids in the 50’s I listened to these doo wop all my life . I love my eighties but I hear anything from the 50’s and 60’s I sing right along . My husband asked me how is possible to know all those words . They are catchy tunes . Danceable . What can be bad .
Orion Simpson I am 63 and faintly remember hearing the fifties hits as a little kid. My dad loved the big band era but had an open mind about the new sound emerging. I remember him telling about seeing Elvis on the Dorsey Brothers show. I have always been a big fan of the fifties era.
I watched these guys on the street corner in the Bronx. Tried to catch him at home but his sister always said he was out. Those were the days. i married a canadian and these guys were his favourite also. So lucky to have grown up in the 50s 60s.
Imagine being a teenager at this time not saturated with streaming and total access to whatever song you ever wanted to hear. A totally new, fresh and exhilarating sound! Can't even imagine
Absolutely! Totally professional, great harmony, and charismatic. I won't denigrate the currently popular acts (but I certainly won't praise them), but appreciating the wonderful music they created for us and thanking these wonderful people for the talent they shared is the minimum I can do. As a native Noo Yawkuh, and one who has ridden the number 4 IRT line way too many times, I can say you guys are okay. Good eggs. Yu don suck, yu know? If the guys read this. they'll know I mean that as the highest praise. But don let it go to yor head. Sheesh.
"A Teenager in Love" is a song written by Doc Pomus and partner Mort Shuman and was originally sung and released by Dion and the Belmonts in March 1959. It reached #5 on the Billboard pop charts. In May 1959, from wikipedia
Will ,I was 18 in 59.Used to go to all the local sat night hops checking out the local girls who wore feminine dresses back then ,and did not look like hookers on a night off .around 1958 I had a 1948 350cc matchless for a short time .Magic years . I am 80 now and still play those old 50s hit on guitar and still own and ride a FXDWG ( only now on nice days )
WOW, I hear the up-right bass player hitting those low bass notes with sheer precision and keeping perfect timing for All, a true professional musician.
No pertenezco a esa década de los 60s pero me gusta la música de ese tiempo esas si son canciones románticas me hubiera gustado vivir esa época dichosos los que la vivieron que canciones para no olvidarse
![[Watch Party] RoV APL 2024 Bacon VS TDT ( AlmonP Wanoiz )](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LvZvKzu3VSk/mqdefault.jpg)
I still listen to this song in 2024!
me too girl!
ME TOO.
Y seguirá sonando está magnífica canción.un clásico
Same
Moi aussi❤❤❤🇫🇷bonjour de France🤗
clean, crisp , cute and innocent. What a lovely era.
totally agree-bring it on back!!
Wasn't that "lovely"
I think it's cute and wonderful. The times appeared more innocent but Dion actually had a heroin addiction since his early teens which I found shocking. I didnt know heroin was a thing in the 50s. Anyway he appeared to have kicked the habit and has gone on live a good life. Good for him. Not many escape it.
Youd think so until you've heard the song Rocket 69 produced in 1951 lol. But I totally agree that the 50s were the best
Fusilier segregation
his voice is literally angelic
Dion taught me a lot about phrasing
Love oldies, remind me back in my country (Cambodia); some of songs or tunes were from the 60s and 70s; had a lot of metaphors with lots of meaning.
💯
60s legend
Agreed
unfortunately we will never see music like this again.. just excellence
RIP
***** i hope ur being sarcastic, cause i just threw up...
+Nick HA HA HA HA, good one. those people you mentioned are not even good for swamp water,lol.
Absolutely. x
You don't know that. Revivals happen all the time.
I adore this song, and the old footage, and the incredible voices, and the simple, yet effective way they dance. Gosh, I love older songs; they're so much classier.
Im in my 30s an love the classics if it wasent for this music we wouldent have the music we have today and those guy knew how to sweep a women off her feet
50s !
Very good
Ik there so nostalgic
i know right. and the guys especially, truly loved their girlfriend and it was real. they were also so polite and educated too unlike most guys today:(
God if there's time travel... send me to this awesome, innocent, time.
music will never be like this again its sad
Yes it could
It’s your option to make it that way
@@prozac. Don't confuse people with the truth... they like their fairytales.. :)
ikr :(
I agree with you!!!
I am so lucky to be born in 1948...I heard the best music ever!!
Wow ur kinda young
I beat ya .was born in 41.still lifting weights ,riding a Harley and playing guitar.
me tooooooooo!!!!!!!
I wasborn in 1948, too. We grew up listening to the greatest hits and artists of music. ❤❤❤❤
You are two years older than my mother...
I'm 77 years old & I grew up with these songs & all these talented singers
I love music from the 50s. good clean lyrics.
Dion: the ultimate doo-wop singer. The Belmonts: the ultimate doo-wop group. "A Teenager in Love": the ultimate doo-wop song. It doesn't get any better than this. Awesome!
no,Dion was merely the froth of a beer carlo fred and angelo wwere the true talent
@@bluephalanx They got screwed by not being included in the Hall of Fame when he was.
corvus13 facts
Blue Phalanx then dion pretty much turned his back on them ever since
Thank you very much ☺️
'59...man, I remember watching this particular show on American Bandstand! Never thought I'd see it again this many years later. Incredible!
That is so cool!
Just commenting so you get the notification so you can come back to this masterpiece. I just discovered this group and im absolutely impressed with the harmony and how good they sound together. So If I enjoy them this much im sure you enjoy them 10x more.
I saw Dion sing this on the 2012 Malt Shop Cruise. My life is complete.
Brings back such lovely memories for me : I was 18 when this was a hit. We had lovely music in the 50's and 60' : simple romantics lyrics with lovely melodies.
The Art of Songwriting is dead
I've been listening to this and other songs from the era since I was a kid in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s.
I adored this song & Dion & the Belmonts. I am 71 & it still touches my heart. Those were the days.😍😘
This music will never get old as long as we have the internet 😄
Dion went on to compose, and record, some of the most profound music of the 60s.
Abraham, Martin and John!
All because he was there when we lost buddy holly and he was one of the first to lose his innocence
I'm 2 years old, I'll be 3 on the 42nd of December and I love this type of music
+Julian Emery Me too. I was born on the 42nd of December at 67 o'clock.
+Julian Emery And you already have good taste...!!
+Julian Emery hickory hickory tock!!! This is serious time travel!
i live in the other worldand haven't been back for at least 500 earth years. that makes me about -500 years old and i love this music. hope when i come back this music is back in style.
Well I'm a fetus and I love this type of songs
Damn, the good old times...will never return...
They return every time you watch these videos, silly
@@_.._guillaume_._x_._. You are right! All the best from CROATIA.
I love the oldies! I grew up with that music and during that era.
Oldies of rock and roll
I wish I could go back in time and see this kind of stuff live. Brilliant!
Well if you want me to cry...it won't be so hard to do...love it
Me too
Another great one from the 1950s/60s - lovin it - on RADIO SUTCH 1964
I love how the two backup singers are able to sing those three part harmonies.
If I could be reborn, I would like to spend my time as a teen in the 1950s.
I’m 28 and I love this music
I'm only 17 but this kind of music is my all time fav:")
Man I wanted to live in this era
I remember seeing this on tv with my Mom when I was a little girl. She loved watching American Bandstand and dancing with my sister and I. I grew up in the best of times :-)
You still here ?
@@estebangarcia747 typical ignorant millennial comment!!!
This footage was used in the 1986 movie "Peggy Sue Got Married". Added to the reality of the scene. It was great the day the sang it on AB, great in the movie scene, and remains great all these years later
Classic! We will never get Those days back
We can't, but we can always come back on here and listen to these timeless jewels.
There is no other song that captures the innocence, simplicity and sweetness of the 50's better than this song, the lyrics, melody and Dion's voice. Now at age 80 + he can still sing this song with the same pathos and beauty of those younger years, amazing.
Simpler music from a safer and simpler time. Loved the 50's and 60's!
More simple than today's not possible. Look for that crap of techno and rap !
These were the days.. we had it all back then. Music. 🎶 Music great days... it was these new artists that made my world spin.
Music such as this will remain in demand, if not forever, at least as long as our generation lives. They were then Golden Years. and I didn't realize it until they were gone.
Every generation things that..
THIS SONG BING GREAT MEMORIES IN MY TEEN YEARS
Hello 👋 mary

Love from India
These guys Sound great a lot better than the music is today I remember the song as a kid wow how the years have gone by thanks for the video I love this song a lot thank you so much
Oh my!!!! 61 years later and Dion is still going strong!!!!!!!!
I'm fangirling 60 years later 🤗🤗🤗
Same! 🥰
I will only be born in a decade but I listen to thiis music all the time.

Are you not born yet then?
cizia69: Good choice!!

How lmao
I get goosebumps just listening to how old and long ago this was recorded. Just imagine even for a split moment feeling what it was like to be there and feel the crowd and music
must of been amazing
It would be so awesome to go back in time and be as young person that night, as long I could return to present time otherwise I would about 80, just love Dion, I live in Australia and missed out on seeing him when he toured here about 1984.
I am so proud I grew up in 50's and 60's! That music is still famous! My daughter and I still sing and dance to this music!

I rather be living in those days than nowadays. I can't stand it nowadays
a classic, beautiful melodies. I love it!
Si, a mi tambien
Scemo Person igualmente
Ime 41 years old,I have 5 children who have all been bought up on this music, as well as all of us being Elvis fans we love Dion and countless others, their are alot of young people out their that like the old music but don't share it for fear of being tormented by their friends. My children don't care so neither should anyone else. This music will never die.
+Wayne Page "tormented" by their friends wow you really got that high ego don't ya
I just believe that music of that generation is very underated by the younger generation. Music of the 50ts and early 60ts will never be matched.
Wayne Page expand your horizons please
I don't know what your problem is, Its an opinion thats all,and in my experiance all i have done is stated that.
Is it possible to buy children for music?
this was the greatest time in American history .. to be young and alive then when our future held so much promise .. i wish it could be 1959 again !
I am Dutch and when i was little my father always listening to to this songs , he grow up in Vancouver , Canada . He came here when he was 18 years old.. Now I listening to this song and I understand why he always listening to this beaurtifull songs ,He missed he's life in Canada ,never got the chance to go back...so sorry for that....RIP Daddy miss you so much ...me and my children listening to this music ❤❤ love you so much ❤
These are the greatest sounds ever produced in America!
Great Dion and the Belmonts song !
Classic!!! The young ladies loved it and so do I!!
My parents were kids in the 50’s I listened to these doo wop all my life . I love my eighties but I hear anything from the 50’s and 60’s I sing right along . My husband asked me how is possible to know all those words . They are catchy tunes . Danceable . What can be bad .
This was the 1st song that I listened to that got me hooked on R&R
i love this song too and love to see more these old video's of dion too
This music is going with me when I leave this world..."love it much"
Brings Me Back Love You Guys And These Types Of Songs Dion and The Belmonts 💚
Abigail’s no nun mm
Listening to this song and remembering the wonderful memories I have with my late mother who grew up with this music and passed it on to me!
I'm 56 and so glad my sister introduced me to all these tunes before I came along in 1964...
The teenagers in the audience are in their early to mid-seventies. Time waits for no one.

I was a young teen when this first came out!
I was 8-9 yrs old and had two older sisters to turn me on to Dion and so many other 50's artists. Thanks sisters.
I think the 50's was a good era with cruising oldie music and drive in dinner,no drive by shooting,no rap music just honest clean rock n roll music.
My girlfriend made me fall in love with this song 1000000 times
When I want to take a nostalgic look back and feel young and the world in front of me----I see this vid. thanks for the forever posting. NM

I was born in 1968, But love this music.

WOW, I hear the up-right bass player hitting those low bass notes with sheer precision and keeping perfect timing for All, a true professional musician.
Yes indeed, he/she mastered that instrument
Dion is one of the best vocalists in Rock and Roll, and he managed to progress and change his sound through the 70's, 80's, 90's, and beyond.
