A time a place a feeling we all long for so deeply. My Doo Wop now at 79 is healing, warm, wholesome, comforting, and I seem to feel arms around me slow dancing once more. It just makes me feel alive. It's "Our" place, time and feeling. God bless us who have that little spot that will forever be "Lost In the Fifties!" P.s. Dec. 26, 2024 I am now 82 and still cannot go a day without my Doo Wop life line. Bless all of us from that Era. Long life friends, I will be listening with you.
Absolutely, I to at 79 listening to this music brings me back to those great times. High school dances and driving in my convertible in the 1960's with the top down with my girl by my side without a care in the world.... please take me back to those fabulous times. Never forget!
James and everybody that replied to your pertinent comment. We were part of a hallowed music harmony time...the music was us. It coursed through our veins and brains...It could make us bright or sad, sometimes both at once. It had radiance which projected within us. It still does.
OH LORD this kind of music fulfill my heart with joy and laughter and take me back to memories of my childhood in the 50s and 60s but when i come to my senses and remember i cant turn back time puts me in a sad mood OH GREAT GOD how i yearn and long for those day. Thanks for the music
born in 1945...just in time to grow up in the time of magnificent doo wop era and also play in that time also...saxophone with the groups I was with....fantastic times.......miss ALL OF THE LOST YEARS...enjoy life when you're YOUNG you all, because it goes by........REAL FAST.....be well everyone, beat that lousy COVID.19. GOD BLESS...........
What a great song to dance to....with your favorite squeez on Friday night dances. Cheek to cheek you whisper the words in her ear as she squeezes your hand. Now that's a memory.
I used to play this 45 forever and this was the version I have been playing all this time. I didn't know it was Lou Christie in the background,??, but being born and raised in Pittsburgh Pa, I am so proud of the many great singers like Lou Christie. Love this song!!!
there are no more handsome guys ,,,who truly know how to dance to this RIDICULOUSLY PULSATING MUSIC,,,where are they,,,such a spectacular and PENETRATING SONG that's a precious GIFT for this UNIVERSE and galaxy to behold,,,EPIC
Definately best version of this song. I was a member of the Laura Lamar High School class of 1964. Laura Lamar High Schol was located in Homer City, PA.
Nice. I’m sorry if something bothers you. I keep apologizing… You are here. How reassuring that is for me. Thanks. Tomorrow will be a better day. Thank you so much as always. Zzz…⛱️❤️
Thanks. I wanted to delete the comment, but the button didn’t respond. I’m sorry to bother you in the morning. There may be trial and error. I don’t mean to speak, but let me say New Year’s greetings. I hope this year will be a wonderful year. With a lot of gratitude. Thanks!!
My favorite song of all time. It overwhelms me each time I hear it. It truly takes me back to when I was 17 yrs. old and the breakup with my first love.
Just a note Johnny Jack was from Pittsburgh (Gibsonia Pa)...this song was played by most Pittsburgh DJs as a closing number, at all the dances ...wow so beautiful...a very special hello, to Sue Rehea...West View
I'm 58 they dont make songs like this this anymore . Only songs I lisson to 50s/ 60s 70s /80s after that it went down hill . Cant stand this changing world it going to fast for me. Want to get off and go back to the the 50s.
Today on TH-cam listening to Kenny Vance and Donnie Owens sing this song. Donnie's version was what I grew up with, therefore, my favorite. There seemed to be such heartbreak in his voice. But, how did I never hear this version? Another take on it. As good as it is, Donnie's version is forever my favorite.
I still like Donnie Owens' version best. His was recorded in my hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, at Audio Recorders, located about five blocks from my house. Duane Eddy played on at least one take of the recording. I also this version. Thanks, PJ. You always give us the best.
Like you Jim I prefer the Donnie Owens original. It's a great song, by Buddy Wheeler, but to me, this version is "over-produced". Sometimes more is less.
great pittsburgh song! TL played this all the time in the "Music for Young Lovers" Got this straight from Lou Christie - He sang the low backup with Johnny, while Mary Jo Trope sang the high part.

Thank you for reviving my younger past. Heart-warming and rejuvenating.
Oh my yes!
I’m a 1948 model!
I love this music with all my heart and soul.
For you, Pamela...
You dead yet?
After over 75 years of life, they said our music will never last!
I m 75 and listen to this music nothing can compare. Thanks takes me back to a better time and place
Amen brother!

This great ballad was a big hit in Pittsburgh, Pa.

And this music should have its own category in the RR Hall of fame!
I agree!!!
One of Pittsburgh's greatest hits!
This song is so good and very beautiful. Fantastic Doo Wop song 💕💕💕👍❤
A passionate hymn from a bygone age.
No music tops the oldies era!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What a great song to dance to....with your favorite squeez on Friday night dances. Cheek to cheek you whisper the words in her ear as she squeezes your hand. Now that's a memory.
Johnny Jack used to live beside my sister-in-law in Gibsonia Pa
Very smooth, very beautiful classic ballad...
Porky Chadwick filled the air waves of Pittsburgh, Pa with this beautiful song
You are so right the late and great Porky Chadwick the pedal pushin papa on the for over fifty years in my hometown of Pittsburgh PA. RIP Porky.
Love reading the comments...very insightful..

My brother first wife came from the same town as Perry Como and Bobby Vinton
Never heard this in my 60 plus yrs listening to music. I love it! It's great 👍

Excellent, the up-right bass player is outstanding, hitting those low bass notes with perfection and perfect timing, a true professional.
madminute....so true. Thought I was the only one who appreciated bass players on these songs.
Spot on!
Definately best version of this song.
I was a member of the Laura Lamar High School class of 1964. Laura Lamar High Schol was located in Homer City, PA.
This song takes me back when love was pure especially when you were dancing with the love of your life!
😎 these songs never, never get old, except me🤪
Superb. If I had the talent to record just one song in my teens this would have been it.
This was real music. so many memories at the YMCA dances, I'm 77 years now and it brings tears to my eyes
The more I here this song. The more I love it only I wish u where hear
One great Pittsburgh song I wish they could bring back the times
Johnny Jack aka Johnny Greco from Rocket Ride fame. He's got a NICE smooth voice.
Nice.
I’m sorry if something bothers you.
I keep apologizing…
You are here.
How reassuring that is for me.
Thanks.
Tomorrow will be a better day.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t updated my pad.
I have to update my head too.
…
I’ll try again in a little while!
This is a great song! ❤️
I always liked the shadow fonts. It's most commonly found on NY records although a lot of Pittsburgh labels used it too
Beautiful song! Like this version best!
My favorite song of all time. It overwhelms me each time I hear it. It truly takes me back to when I was 17 yrs. old and the breakup with my first love.
Was a hit for Donnie Owens circa 1958 .
Just a note Johnny Jack was from Pittsburgh (Gibsonia Pa)...this song was played by most Pittsburgh DJs as a closing number, at all the dances ...wow so beautiful...a very special hello, to Sue Rehea...West View
Great song.....reminds me of Sam McCue playing with Legends at Muskego Beach on Wisconsin.
This is Awesome, i really want to go back in time
-Another 1 of those gems that should've been a hit or atleast well known. And there were lots of 'em.
This music never fades away ❤️🌹
One of my all time favorites. Kenny Vance has a version of this on You Tube which lead me back to the original by Donnie Owens.
One unmatched love ballad
Awesome ballad. You know, i Love al the Doo Wop Group and songs. This give me inspirations and rest in my Mind and head💯💞💞💞
I have always loved this song. I met John once and knew his dad. His dad was so proud of him. He left us way to soon.
Great jam in Pittsburgh area!
Wow. Great song.love it more everytime i listen.
I'm 58 they dont make songs like this this anymore .
Only songs I lisson to 50s/ 60s 70s /80s after that it went down hill .
Cant stand this changing world it going to fast for me.
Want to get off and go back to the the 50s.
Really great to be able to still hear Pittsburgh hits

That music and house parties. 14 years old in the mid 50's dancing slow piece. I was in love ! The fragrances of the 50's.
I still like Donnie Owens' version best. His was recorded in my hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, at Audio Recorders, located about five blocks from my house. Duane Eddy played on at least one take of the recording. I also this version. Thanks, PJ. You always give us the best.
Like you Jim I prefer the Donnie Owens original. It's a great song, by Buddy Wheeler, but to me, this version is "over-produced". Sometimes more is less.

great pittsburgh song! TL played this all the time in the "Music for Young Lovers" Got this straight from Lou Christie -
