Sid Holmes is one of the founding members of the orginal Cavaliers {NOT the Founder}. Sid was NOT on a break from the Band, He had QUIT the band before 'Last Kiss' happened.
This song was popular when I was in Fifth Grade, and there was a sweet boy in my class named Bobby Nichols. He also had a voice made for this song. He would sing it in class just before Lunch. I think the Teacher enjoyed hearing him sing this. The last time I saw Bobby was the first day of school in Junior High. We met on the front steps as we entered the new building. We greeted each other with fond smiles of friendship. We had known each other since Second Grade. But we never saw each other again. We didn't meet in the halls, the Lunch Room, or on leaving at the end of the day to be picked up by our parents. I had always believed that he would become a famous 'Crooner'. But music changed, and so did my generation.
As long as we have the music J Frank Wilson and the Calivers will be with us. He was still here in San Angelo. He'd come by on Sunday mornings ask for a beer, sat on the couch, drew pictures for James and Jana and sang to John in my stomach. A really good guy and friend. He just couldn't handle singing songs so close to the wreck. You can get all the songs downloaded. I'm 75 and I still lose their music.
I just attended a funeral for J. Frank's uncle in San Marcos, Texas where J. Frank's daughter and I had a long talk. J. Frank was married 8 times. After Last Kiss, his career went no where because the British Invasion killed so many artists. He worked in the Texas oil fields for a while, then got disabled from prescription drugs and then all kinds of drugs. In 1990, I went to interview his mother in Lufkin, Texas and we went to J. Frank's grave at the Angelina Cemetery. He was a one hit wonder but a damn fine one!
@@Richard_Nickerson certainly changes the claim that his career tanked because the British Invasion came along... "In October 1964, the British music magazine NME reported that Wilson had himself been involved in an auto accident near Lima, Ohio, in which his 27-year-old record producer, Sonley Roush, was killed, and Wilson was seriously injured. While J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers recorded many more songs, and "Last Kiss" was subsequently covered successfully by Wednesday and Pearl Jam, the band charted with only one other song, "Hey, Little One", which reached number 85. Wilson, with or without the Cavaliers, continued to release records until 1978. He started working offshore oilfield in late 1970s and 1980s in the Gulf of Mexico. Wilson died on October 4, 1991, at the age of 49, from alcoholism and complications from diabetes."
@@jong0000 All that other shit you dragged up as proof? Yeah, THAT is what ruins the claim regarding the British Invasion. The fact that the song was released just before the famous British Invasion officially took place doesn't actually prove it in and of itself. You successfully proved that the British Invasion isn't to blame, but you actually kinda proved your claim that the dates are why completely false. Congratulations, you played yourself.
I still have the Josie 45 of this song.... almost wore it out when I was younger.....still works fine today though....thanks for bringing it in the youtube circle.........
the version of this song by pearl jam was played at my friends funeral in august, it was his fav song and he died at the age of 14. I miss u DrewDrew R.I.P. DrewDrew
Would you believe there are versions of this song in other languages? I first heard it in school in the 70s when a Nicaraguan girl gave it to me when I was studying Spanish: it was El Ultimo Beso by Polo. It had the same idea. I recently heard a French version by Michel Paje called Premiers Baisers. More about a love gone wrong. Same melody, though. 1964. Great female background singers, especially near the end of the song!
This song brings back memories of the sixties. J. Frank Wilson voice is haunting in this song. I also like Pearl Jams version because Eddie Vedder slows it down a bit. If J. Frank had sung it that way we would all cry even after we heard it.
It has been 16 years ago today Sept 28th that I lost the Love of my life in a tragic car accident. This song sings about what that tragic night was like for me so I hold it sacred and dear to my heart. Thank you for sharing.
This IS the original, I remember it from when I was a little girl and my brother was learning it, I heard it OVER & OVER, believe me ITS THE ORIGINAL alright! I will NEVER forget it. My brother has been gone 10 years now and it still haunts me but at the same time brings back such good memories of his talents and all the fun he had in his youth.
@@99672 She meant the iconic version. And it is, this is the version everyone thinks of if they aren't thinking of Pearl Jam's. Wayne sang it at just slightly the wrong tempo I think is the word to be catchy, and the cavaliers fixed the small problem with his singing which might be unfair but it is what it is. The words flow a lot better in this one and just feel hollow in Wayne's.
@@masondeross It still isn't the original however you spin it. Wayne wrote it, it's his song. Pity the Cavaliers & Peal Jam couldn't come up with something original themselves.
This song was sung by a neighborhood band back then! Singer worked in corner grocery store! He was so nice and a lot of fun to listen to! Those were the days!
Fue la primera canción de niño que me hizo que me gustara más la música en inglés que la música en español muchas gracias Dios por todo lo que me has dado a mi familia y a toda mi familia y descendencia muchas gracias Dios amén.
I LOVE this song.. I Grew up loving it with my mommie.. My dad hates it.. but this will FOREVER by my mom and I's song!! I LOVE the fact someone sang it the other week on the Voice!!
Have you listened to El Ultimo Beso by Polo? This song is absolutely gorgeous in Spanish. I heard Polo's version first, in school, where a girl from Nicaragua gave me the 45. I have been in love with it ever since!!
Great song..so many memories, Just wish there was an actual live version of this recording of the song. Most everyone back then knew the words to and would sing along to this when it played on am radio.
Snake and I Can't beleve that this is still showing how it was in our pass. Lewis Elliott is still rocking the the west Texas area and if you go by the Shop you can still talk to Snake about his great adventure of being on the bus with The Dick Clark Caravan of Stars in the Old Days Of Rock and Roll.. David Tillery Stars of Texas Productiom Center
I have to agree with you there. This is the version I first heard when I was 10 back in 78... My mom bought this fantastic 50's compilation on 8 track tapes. I now remember feeling awkward and even a little scard listening to a song about death, but quickly understood it was really a love song. Pretty deep for a 10 yr old. Love this song.
Wow! The stuff you learn on TH-cam. During WW2 my mother was stationed in San Angelo, at Goodfellow Field. She was a radio tower operator. My dad was at Fort Hood. I guess they managed to get together somehow, as they were married in San Angelo on 1/2/45. Then he shipped out to the South Pacific. TMI, I know. But still . . . .
I love that song by los Doltons. I first heard El Ultimo Beso by Polo in school in the 70s & it has been my favorite song all these years, of all time. I recently heard one in French on YT called Premiers Baisers (First Kisses) about a love gone wrong. Same melody, tho. Great female back-up singers!
I was 4 years from being born and I listen to it! Music doesn't seem to have quite the same meaning today as it once did. One of the best and most meaningful songs ever written.
i just turned 27 and i remember hearing this on the radio my mom loved this song i think it was in the early 90's i know its older than that but everytime i hear this song i cant help but cry cause it hits home pretty hard
Fantastic version , I thought the original, was best , this I think takes the lead , because it sounds much clearer , great echo sound and backing group, love it 💖💗💞💕❤️love from Scotland .
They just don't make 'em like this anymore. Whatever happened to real music, with real instruments, a great melody and words you can actually understand (and have some meaning)? The '50s, '60s & '70s will never, ever be replaced...
2 yrs after they released this song my father, Ronnie Miller joined the band. I dont remeber much about him, but I do know he had an amazing voice an could play any instrument he put his hands on.
Wow,what a trip to see those pictures.1964 seems like yesterday (right)!!! We all sure looked younger then. Check out the picture of me and one of my grandkids. This was taken before our ( Balderdash) appearance at the Cincinnati Blues Fest in 2008.To check out what I am doing now go to balderdashohio on you tube and listen to Tobacco Road."

Oh - where oh - where my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world .... We were out on a date in my daddy's car We hadn't driven very far There in the road straight up ahead A car was stalled the engine was dead !! I couldn't stop - so I swerved to the right I'll never forget the sound that night The cryin' tires the busting glass The painful scream that I heard last .... Oh - where, oh where could my baby be? The Lord took her away from me !! She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world .... When I woke up the rain was pouring down There were people standing all around Something warm running in my eyes ... But I found my baby somehow that night. I raised her head she smiled and said "Hold me darling for a little while" I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss I found the love that I knew I have missed ..... Well - now she's gone even though I hold her tight I lost the love of my life that night Oh - where oh where could my baby be?

«Last Kiss» es una canción compuesta por el cantante estadounidense de rhythm & blues Wayne Cochran, lanzada en el año 1961 por el sello Gala Records. No tuvo mucha repercusión hasta que en junio de 1964 la banda estadounidense J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers realizó una versión, llevándola al puesto 2 del Billboard Hot 100 estadounidense. En la canción Cochran cuenta la historia de una pareja de adolescentes que sale a pasear en auto. En el camino tienen un accidente y uno de ellos, una muchacha, muere. El sobreviviente, un muchacho, describe a lo largo de la canción los últimos instantes con su amada y de cómo debe portarse bien para que Dios lo lleve al cielo a reencontrarse con ella. La canción se llama "Last Kiss" porque con sus últimas fuerzas, antes de morir, ella le puede dar un último beso de despedida. Se dice que la canción estuvo inspirada en un accidente automovilístico en el que varios jóvenes murieron y dos fueron heridos gravemente cuando su coche golpeó un camión la semana previa de la Navidad de 1961. En 1964, J. Frank Wilson, junto a los Cavaliers, realizó su propia versión, que alcanzó el número 2 en las listas de popularidad de los Estados Unidos.
@@ronaldherrera1238 I first heard this song in Spanish: El Ultimo Beso by Polo. It is one gorgeous song in Spanish, and Polo (RIP) had an amazing voice. Sadly, Polo passed away in the 70s in his 20s due to drowning in a swimming pool. I took Spanish in school in the 70s, but since I am old now, I can't remember it, since my late husbands and my friends and family did not speak it. Otherwise I would have posted this in Spanish!❤❤❤
On this day in 1965 {March 6th} J. Frank Wilson & the Cavaliers performed "Last Kiss" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... Six months earlier on September 5th, 1964 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #2 {for 1 week} and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100... Nine years later on December 22nd, 1973 it re-entered the Top 100 for a five-week stay; peaking at #92... The song was originally recorded in 1961 by Wayne Cochran; his version didn't make the charts.
I always wondered how many young ladies were singing the descant part. That's the first time I saw that photo and it looks like there were 5. Hmmm wonder who they were.
Awesome video! Snake and Lewis haven't aged much! And yet, they can still get down and rock with the best of them. We should see about recording something where Last Kiss was recorded. Might be fun. Tillery can still do mobile right?
SOOO much better than pearl jam's version!!! this guy's voice is actually amazing!!! i had no clue pearl jam remade this song... and who knew i'd love it :)
does anyone know what the movie is called that this song is in... it's a old movie that i remember watching with my parents and they said it came out when they were teenagers in the 50's or 60's....
God bless you! My mom, and my late husband also passed away from this disease, & they both smoked all their lives & were not able to quit. My stoner bf also is unable to quit straight cigs and keeps relapsing. He has copd.
my grandpa was in the cavaliers. i cry when i hear this song, hes gone now. i love you grampie
who was your grandpa? My uncle was the founder of the band.
But for personal reasons he was on a break when "Last Kiss" happened.
Sid Holmes is one of the founding members of the orginal Cavaliers {NOT the Founder}. Sid was NOT on a break from the Band, He had QUIT the band before 'Last Kiss' happened.
Linda Atkinson lol he probably wanted to save face
Bay Hester ooh really? what is his name?

Recorded in San Angelo, TX where we lived for 14 years.
My husband and I listened to this alot..we had it on 8 track..we both loved it..thank you Son for sending it so I can enjoy it again..
I loved the song, too; and still do. I have a teen sweetheart that has passed; she was wonderful.

I grew up with this song! Born in the 50's and have loved growing up through all the changes in music!

He would sit on our couch and sing to my kids. I met him through my ex-husband.
I've always loved the bass guitar at the beginning.

Oh - where oh - where my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world ....
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road straight up ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead !!
I couldn't stop - so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The cryin' tires the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last ....
Oh - where, oh where could my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me !!
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world ....
When I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm running in my eyes ...
But I found my baby somehow that night.
I raised her head she smiled and said
"Hold me darling for a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I have missed .....
Well - now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost the love of my life that night
Oh - where oh where could my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world .....

Nine years later on December 22nd, 1973 it re-entered the Top 100 for a five-week stay; peaking at #92...
The song was originally recorded in 1961 by Wayne Cochran; his version didn't make the charts.
As you heard Wayne Cochran died recently. His version was 1st.
Which is insane because Wayne Cochran has more telent in his hair than this band had put together lol
Ouvindo esse clássico em 29/11/2022
They did do great with their remake of Wayne Cochrin's song for sure!
Amen to that.
Sad song, but oh what a great song
I always wondered how many young ladies were singing the descant part. That's the first time I saw that photo and it looks like there were 5. Hmmm wonder who they were.
Me too!
My dad would sing me to sleep with this when I was little
Best music ever only thing bad about this time was the draft and vietnam
Joe babe that wont be the last kiss from me as I do love you with all of my heart from the love of your life who wants to be your loving wife Angela
Awesome video! Snake and Lewis haven't aged much! And yet, they can still get down and rock with the best of them. We should see about recording something where Last Kiss was recorded. Might be fun. Tillery can still do mobile right?

Generally I prefer originals to covers,but this cover is actually a little better than Wayne Cochran's original.

Friends of the original bands m embers including snaks old girl friend was a part of the recording
Thank you for this info.

Raised in the 50s & 60s ... Cheap gas fast cars ... 3 classmates killed in car crashes ... 3 years later 3 classmates killed in Vietnam, go figure ...
What movie was this in? I heard it today and I can't figure it out.
Lost My Love, My Life due to lung cancer June 8, 2018. She didn't smoke. So go figure!
God bless you! My mom, and my late husband also passed away from this disease, & they both smoked all their lives & were not able to quit. My stoner bf also is unable to quit straight cigs and keeps relapsing. He has copd.
