Born in 1947, I grew up during these great times and music. We danced to all this music besides the style we had. Now, in 2023, Chris Ruggiero sings a lot of oldies in a classy way, the way it was done!
OK Its Wednesday April 15 2020 and I am listening again to the Passions singing Gloria.. And once again, I can't believe how great Jimmy G 's voice is. You youngsters ( under 50 ) should listen closely to this THIS IS MUSIC !
Okay. I like all Doo Wop Songs. It is so indispensable to me. I am now 65 years old. But along with my brothers, we love our very great Idol Elvis Presley to date. But this doo wopp song by The Passions reminds me of that time of yore. It is a great group, especially the lead singer Jimmy Gallagher, he is the most vocal singer of this whole group. My great compliment !!!! Thank you for posting my friend .
Jimmy Gallagher and the Passions one of the all time Greats of the Doo Woo Era and that song is a treasure brings back so many beautiful memories those were the greatest of days 🤗❤️🌹🌹
I was born in bay ridge moved to Benson Hurst loved watching the guys doing acap Aella on 18th. Ave. Watched the varazano narrows bride being built. I'm 71 live on long island now but Brooklyn, doo woop music, and the best slice of pizza you can get will always be in this girls ❤
I love these guys, nothings better than those days. They took us on a trip that we’ll never experience again. I miss this so so much. It was magical !!!!
This one of my favorite songs to listen to back in the day. As old timers I must say that they did a good recreation of the original recording. Well done.
Great job guy's. Gave this old Dude the chills. You know I think the reason why the song "Gloria" is such an everlasting popular hit, by very many groups, is that everyone can identify with the feeling of an unfullfilled love. For that gut sick feeling you got for "that" girl on the Bus, "that" girl in your class, "that" girl down the street who will never requite your unspoken love. It goes for everybody men and women who sigh life long for that "one" who you could never have. "Gloria" touches such a chord in all of us who long.
It is Monday February 22 2021 and I am still in love with these great songs....I hope that many of you " young" folk get to hear this music You will be in love with it !
it will never ever get better than this. We are truly blessed to have grown up with Doo Wop. Todays' music - if you can call it music - sucks. From an old Brooklyn girl
@@amysheneman3277 Hi Amy I am also a Brooklyn guy I lived at 395 Ocean Ave.. between Caton Ave and Woodruf Ave. Had great times....Started at Erasmus but moved to Long Island...... How about you !!!
This "original group," will forever be one of doo wops very best...I also agree with Rich, Tony Passalacqua singing Rosemarie is great. The sweetest voice, hands down, Jimmy Gallagher ❤️
These great artists show the real class that groups from the early years of "Rock & Roll" had. 50 or more years after their peak they still know how to entertain and give enjoyment to an audience.
My band THE BRAVADOS was popular in the sixties and early seventies, always played GLORIA to a great crowd who danced and sung with us.. Nothing like todays music.. These doo wop songs have always, and will always be the best !
bob cavicchio My sentiment, exactly. If I wasn’t bald, I would be ripping my hair out. I'm sure that a live audience that lives these guys enjoyed the corniness, but some editing for the Tube might have been nice.
@@bluediamond4662 They coulda invited Ol Joe Biden along to show his demure "shuffle" to add to the atmosphere! But yeah they talked longer than they sang! Lol!
Today - July 7 , 2922 and I'll feeling so great because of this music . Listen to the lyrics of the songs that helped form what was important to us . It was about love and caring about each other . Take heart and think about that .
We also saw them at the Ruth Eckard hall , also loved meeting Debra Nader whom I had saw earlier at Uplands in NJ. We flew all the way from Deer Lake in NL, via Toronto to Tampa, stayed at Safety Harbor Resort, great place ...John and Ruby Wellon......Jimmy's voice is wonderful....
He's really great just like the women all these oldie but great they're awesome and they're all getting older and they all look great yeah I know you said that's what it's singing keep continue watch the good old songs I miss entirely too all right see you sometime bye-bye now
One of my most favorite groups of all times ,The great Jimmy Gallagher and the Passions ..there's no better music than do wop from the street corner music of acapella, just love the harmony and the true meaning of this great music... DOOWOPFOREVER !!!!08/30/2019.
Jimmy Gallagher, one of the greatest falsetto voices ever.
The leader of the Passion Jimmy Jimmy Gallangher still and forever keeps his beautiful voice. God Bless this group
lou rotondo
Jimmy Gallagher was blessed by God with such a terrific voice He also seems to be a very nice guy
Yes
BRAVISSIMO! Now that's what I call singing. Love it. Jimmy's falsetto gives me chills.
Born in 1947, I grew up during these great times and music. We danced to all this music besides the style we had. Now, in 2023, Chris Ruggiero sings a lot of oldies in a classy way, the way it was done!
They can still sing so beautifully. "Gloria" was a great song and still is. Bravo!

Never heard a bad version of this song. Cadalics did the original and The Manhattan Transfer did a killer version, too.
Doowopforever an always !!!.

This is a foundation song of Rock N Roll. Long live Rock N Roll, and RIP Alan Freed King Of Rock N Roll 1010 WINS NY
today groups (if that's what you want to call them) can't touch any of this!
Don't think I ever heard a bad rendition of "Gloria" Great song, which is why so many covered it..🎼🎶💞
My band THE BRAVADOS was popular in the sixties and early seventies, always played GLORIA to a great crowd who danced and sung with us.. Nothing like todays music.. These doo wop songs have always, and will always be the best !
Excellent!!👍👍👍👍
Love this music, so many memories ❤
WOW. that's really Awesome 👌
ONE OF THE GREATEST GROUPS EVER-RON CERELLI-FORMER DJ IN PHILA.PA WRDV
when Doo Wop was first coined in the early70's, Jimmy G and the Passions & Tony P and the Fascinators were what Doo Wop was about. Soooo good.
Uhm, 1970s? It started in the 1940s and got big in the 1950s.

Wow!!! Falsetto tone by Jerry Gallagher...amazing!
Took forever to get going, but I love Jimmy's voice.
bob cavicchio My sentiment, exactly. If I wasn’t bald, I would be ripping my hair out.
I'm sure that a live audience that lives these guys enjoyed the corniness, but some editing for the Tube might have been nice.
@@ansdguy1 they talked longer than they sang!!!! 😫

They don't come any better than Jimmy G!
Did we need the first 4:50? Honestly?
There great nothing like

My claim to fame attended HS with Jimmy in park slope Brooklyn . Albee’s sister lived in my building.
Attended jr HS with Vic Donna. 😎
So I formed my own group. The Inspirations-The Genie.😎
This was at the Ruth Eckard hall in Clearwater & we were happy to have been there.
Not acappella but still a nice performance once the intros are over.
