You guys have got to listen to "I Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos. One of the best ever songs of the 50s. Great background, great harmonies, fabulous slow dance song.
Yes¡!!
Yes-this is one of the most beautiful songs- so haunting!
My favorite. You float dancing to this song
CLASSIC!!!!!!!
You would love Del Shannon's "Runaway," a classic of the late 50s-early 60s sound.
Be-bop is the name of the music that has all the sounds… it so much fun to try and keep up with the singing ! When the song is repeated enough you will start to know the sounds and you find yourself singing along!
That's the song I was reminded of! I wa wa wa wa wonder, why, a why why why why why she went away...
Loved Del Shannon!
@@wendywoodruff2871 yep, is a great song, the peak of do-woop. So good, and sad, but upbeat, lust like big band/swing the crooners, u til do-whoop.
That's funny because when I first read this title that's the song I thought of
I agree…”Runaway” by Del Shannon is quite possibly one of the best songs ever written and recorded. His vocals are just perfect.
Tom Petty loved that song. In his song "Running down a dream" his line "me and del were singing, little runaway" he was talking about singing along with that song while driving.
More from Del Shannon:
"Runaway" (the hit that put him on the map)
"Hats Off To Larry"
"Keep Searching (Follow The Sun)"
"I Go To Pieces" (most known by Peter & Gordon, but written by Del Shannon. Del Shannon recorded it at least twice, shortly after he first wrote it, and later in a more modern version produced by Jeff Lynne.)
"Walk Away" (produced by Jeff Lynne. This might give you an idea what a ELO or Traveling Wilburys song might sound like with Del Shannon on lead vocal. Also hints at his older song "Runaway.")
Del Shannon was supposed to join the Traveling Wilburys after Roy Orbison passed away, but sadly he committed suicide before this could happen.
My mom and dad lived next door to Del Shannon in Michigan at one time.They said he was a really nice guy.
@@gregorymoore2877 Here's the Wilbury's version of "Runaway"
th-cam.com/video/PUFOHj_hoXs/w-d-xo.html
More than sixty years from the original recording and this is a stone killer!
J & Amber, you'll love his "The Wanderer", "Teenager In Love" and "Donna The Prima Donna"!!!!
edit - 50s recommendation-
The Five Satins- "In The Still Of The Night", beautiful love song that was #1 song on oldies stations for years.
It starts out with 'sh-doop doobie doo' 4 times in the intro
I agree, they need to do all 3 but the 'Wanderer' and 'Teenager In Love' are my favorites...
Runaround Sue!
@@dannysalamon5731 they did that already. They loved it! Worth the watch.
@@dannysalamon5731 Wow forgot that one...you are totally right~!
Give 'Mr. Sandman' by 'The Chordettes' a try. It's quite iconic and came out in 1954. And definitely very soda pop shop. Another 50s track but with a very different feel is 'Istanbul, Not Constantinople' by 'The Four Lads'. It came out in 1953.
Everybody has heard some of that from Back To The Future. 😁
On that note lets get a bit more obscure with The Teddy Bears song To Know Him Is To Love Him which is one of the most beautiful
songs ever recorded.
Wonderful suggestion.
I always think of Doo Wop as the updated rock version of barbershop quartets with the tight 4 part harmonies. And I think technically, scatting is an improv thing whereas the doo wop made up words are just a fun filler that they can all harmonize on. Plus I think.they used the feel of the words as a sort of backing "rhythm section" for the song since the original groups were doing it all a cappella on the street corner.
Yeah, exactly, all of that. Doo-wop actually started as an evolution of jazz and blues in African-American communities in the 1940s, so I think it's fair to say that the "nonsense" words of doo-wop evolved from scatting. As the style spread, it was adopted and influenced by other groups like Latin-Americans and Italian-Americans (like Dion & the Belmonts, e.g.) and became kind of an early rock 'n' roll version of a barbershop quartet with a high tenor singing lead and the other voices acting as instruments and creating the rhythm.
Although doo-wop typically did have instruments (usually playing a swing beat and using the off-beat to keep time), you're right that it was a style that allowed kids to stand in stairwells, bathrooms, or on the corner of their economically-depressed neighborhood and make full-on music without instruments.
And, of course, as the "scatting" evolved into those fun, funny words through the rebellious, irreverent nature of rock, obviously teens were going to adopt it because teens love anything that's fun, different, and annoys their parents.
@@johnplaysgames3120 that's it in a nutshell. great explanation!
Yay! More" Oldies but Goodies" May I request "Venus" by Frankie Avalon from 1959. Frankie Avalon appears in Grease in the Beauty School Dropout scene. In the 50s he was a teen hearthrob in the 60s he starred opposite Annette Funicello in lots of "Beach" movies(surf culture was popular at that time) one of the Beach movies pokes fun at the Beatles who were popular at that time(Frankie Avalon plays a British artist called Potato bug and speaks with a British accent) The Andrews sisters would be considered "Boogie Woogie" music from the two decades before(1930s, 40s) Doo Wop in the 50s early 60s Thanks you guys ☺😀😂 PS There is a great Black and White clip of Frankie Avalon performing "Venus" here on YT 😀
Yeeesssss ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💃💃💃💃💃💕👍👏
Frankie Avalon is married to the sister of one of my junior high school teachers...
My teacher married John Wayne’s oldest son, Michael...
Robert England...Freddy Kruger...was one year behind me in high school...
John Elway is a graduate of my high school...as is Valerie Bertinelli...
“It’s a small world after all...🎶...”
Not sure about Avalon, but Frankie Valli and Dion are still alive!!!
"A Teenager In Love" is their best song!!! That one should be next.
Agreed - my favorite!
@@cjpew "Where or When" Classic!!
@@user-jn6bi7mn4m and don't forget Ruby Baby!
You mentioned maybe doing more Disco and the Bee Gees. Would you consider reacting to the 1960's and early 70's Bee Gees. They had some monster hits with songs like Massachusetts, and I started a Joke, and Lonely Days. You are missing out on a whole different side of the Bee Gees. Even hearing Robin and Maurice singing lead vocals.
@@bgallagher8129 Oh yeah! To Love Somebody is another great one!
Love to see you react to the Dion classic, "Abraham, Martin and John".
That probably won't happen. I don't think they will touch CCM music. It would be nice though.
"Lollipop" by the Chordettes is a great song. "Duke of Earl" by Gene Chandler, "Get a Job" by the Silhouettes, and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by the Platters are a good start.
Lollipop? Please spare us
@@fidge54 what wrong with lollipop? Its a cute song .
@@ryansgirl74 Let's say Lollipop is a stupid song with very stupid lyrics. Does it make it a great song ? Maybe.
Beautiful! Now hit "One Summer Night," by the Danleers, and "My Prayer," by the Platters. My dad is 86, and these are two of his favorites from the '50s. Totally different than Dion, but two of the most beautiful songs you'll hear from that era.
YES!!! Not to mention Twilight Time, Only You, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, The Great Pretender, The Magic Touch...also by The Platters...and I Only Have Eyes For You by The Flamingoes, Earth Angel by The Penguins...so many more, great doo-wop songs!
@@kdm71291 Those are great suggestions, but I believe they've already reacted to "Earth Angel."
Only you!!!
Dion.. The Wanderer, lots of saxophone. There was a movie made from this song also called The Wanderers. From 1952 to 1989. new music was introduced and rated by teens on American Bandstand. I was 4 in 52 but watch with my mother then any myself later. Just about every Rock and Roll singer passed through American Bandstand on their way to success.
Another great reaction, Jay and Amber, thanks. Tracks to check out: 'The Silhouettes - Get a Job', 'The Chips - Rubber Biscuit', 'Thurston Harris - My Little Bitty Pretty One', 'The Chordettes - Mr Sandman', 'The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You', 'The Marcels - Blue Moon', 'The Skyliners - Since I Can't Have You', 'Del Shannon - Runaway'.
Whenever I hear Blue Moon, I think of the Sam Cooke version in American Werewolf in London.
"Get a Job" by the Silhoettes was one of the first records I owned.
If you like older Dion you must listen to "Abraham, Martin & John"
Well, in all fairness A.M and J is like 10 years later.
@@paulneighbors6066 Not sure 10 years after what. Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, JFK was assassinated in 1963, and MLK was assassinated in 1968. This song was released in 1968
Ruby Baby and The Wanderer are 2 of Dion's best! Another great '50s song would be Since I Don't Have You by the Skylines.
"Since I Don't Have You" by the Skyliners.
@@bobbyd968 thank you, I just edited it.
"I Wonder Why" was the 1st single from Dion & The Belmonts to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked @ #22 in 1958. Between 1958 - 1970, Dion (1958 - mid-1960 w/ The Belmonts, in late 1960, as a solo artist), charted 32 singles on the Hot 100 with a late addition in 1989 "And the Night Stood Still" (featuring back-up vocals by Dave Edmunds, Patty Smyth & Mark Lennon). So 33 charted singles featuring 11 Top 10s including 1@ #1 ("Runaround Sue" -1961).
Still say you gotta check out “come go with me” by the Del Vikings! Think you’ll enjoy it
Thank you!! You've brought a tear to this old cynics eye. I haven't heard this song in sssooooo long, and it still gives me chills up and down my spine. I'm sitting here bebopping, and reliving hundreds of memories of listening to this.
Some of his other great songs were "Teenager In Love", "Teen Angel", and the classic "Wanderer".
Other great do-wop songs would have to be "In The Still of the Night", "Life Is But A Dream", "Let's Dance", "At The Hop", "Get A Job", "Shake, Rattle, and Roll", and on and on and on...
You’d like “Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow” by the Rivingtons and “Surfin Bird - Bird Is the Word” by The Trashmen both from 1963). In fact, you could do them together, they’re very similar and it’d be fun!
I love this group as a teenager.
They had some great hits this was one of them, and I also love Dion when he went solo he also had a lot of hits
You need to watch the live version to really enjoy this song.
Great song from a great time.
Origins of Doo-Wop: In the late '50s, in Italian, Hispanic, and black neighborhoods in cities, there were teenage boys who couldn't afford musical instruments. A group would gather on a street corner. Each member of the group would take a low, medium, or high vocal part to imitate the sound of a swing band. Part of the style was "scat," nonsense rhythmic syllables such as bip-bop, doo-wop, etc.
Tears on my Pillow, by Little Anthony and The Imperials!! Plus, there was a group waaaay into thev90's called Sha Na Na who covered many songs of the do wop era. Or you could do one of my favorite songs, from 1957, The Diamonds singing Daddy Cool!.
Add “American Graffiti” to your movie list. Great soundtrack!! All 50’s music! And a great movie with Ron Howard.
I want to just shout out today for one of my best friends who passed away about 3 months ago after 3 months in the hospital. Even though he was 72 he had a spirit that was never ending and Doo-Wops were his favorite. Of the 12 weeks in the hospital I only got to speak to him one time and played Doo-Wops for him where he tapped his feet. Forever Love to Roger "Mr. Miyagi" Fong.
I always thought of the "Doo-Wop" sounds like an instrument in itself, a human instrument. It's fun to "Doo-Wop" along with them. It's like "Back to the Future" soda shop music. I think that's the appeal of "Doo-Wop".
That angelic falsetto wasn’t Dion it was Angelo D’Aleo, one of the Belmonts. He’s not pictured there, he missed alot of photo ops because he was in the navy. The deep scat like bass was the late great Carlo Mastrangelo. Freddy Milano is the third Belmont. Dion was only 18 when he recorded this song.
It would have been better if they used the old video of them doing this song. It’s on TH-cam too. It is a great video.
Do wop was in the 50’s early 60’s,Big Band, swing, boogie woogie 30’s 40’s, that’s where The Andrew Sisters fall in. Scat is a vocal jazz improvisation made with wordless vocals developing melodies and rhythms use using voice as an instrument. Ella Fitzgerald was one of the greatest at this. In the 1950’s Louis Prima had a song I’m Just a Gigolo (I Ain’t Got Nobody) Three decades later David Lee Roth introduced it to a whole generation. You have to react soon to both!
This is dowop and many groups added it to their songs awesome Jay and Amber thanks love you guys enjoy yourselves 👍😜♥️
Dion just came out with a new Album last year it's real good you need to give The Wanderer a listen by Dion thanks
Dion is on facebook...still making great music!!
Hi guys! In Doo Wop music, those sounds they made were them using their voices as an instrument to support the lead vocals & connect from one verse to the next. You can even hear it in the Beatles' "Revolution 1". Take care!
Doo Wop music was born on the street corners of East Coast urban cities like Philly and NYC. Kids hung out singing on sidewalks and stoops, experimenting and creating new sounds. What incredible ears they had. The filler parts are voices imitating instruments as white and black teenagers didn't have the money to buy them. What I find really interesting is that several doo wop singers are Italian Americans. I also love the tight doo wop harmonies. 50s music was popular in the early 70s thanks to the movie American Graffiti, TV show Happy Days and the group Sha-Na-Na who performed 50s music at Woodstock in 1969 and later went on to have their own TV show in the late 70s. Radio stations in the 60s played 50s music as well as the current hits so many Beatles, Stones and Motown fans grew up listening to doo wop. My high school friends and I used to sing doo wop in the early 70s for fun. I wish I had kept our taped recordings.
I'm glad you got one of the best doo wop songs to react to! And Barry Mann the other day. You really should do another king of doo wop- Gene Chandler, and his 'Duke of Earl'. If you haven't.
Just listening to this song this shows how much The Beatles changed the face of pop/rock music in America, so there you go😎🎙✌️southside OG…..request for Friday Pat Benetar “All Fired Upl” official video 👍thanks
I saw him back around 1992 very small venue. Probably 500 people he was fantastic.
The Wanderer
Ruby Baby
Donna the Prima Donna
Teenager in Love
Run around Sue
This was their first release in 1958 and reached Number 22 on the Billboard 100.
More 50's and 60's please. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Yes! Do " Ruby Baby"! Totally different feel. Also, "Abraham, Martin and John" for his later folk stuff.
@@sherylmos461 Abraham, Martin and John. Absolutely beautiful nostalgic song. Love it.😊 👍✌️🇨🇦
Dion and the Belmonts were from Arthur Ave in Bronx NY. Grew up there and they were such an iconic group from those of us that grew up there ❤.
Dion's most powerful song from the late 60s is "Abraham Martin and John". It's a must listen! ♥️
LOVE this era in music, MORE! LAST KISS by The Cavaliers is a MUST HEAR!!!
Dion started with the group Dion and The Belmonts in mid to late '50's. Started a solo career in '61- releasing the hit "Runaround Sue" about a non-loyal lover. He answered that later that year with the hit song "The Wanderer" about a guy who "plays the field". His career spanned from the doo-wop era of the '50's and into pop, rock, R&B, folk and some blues through the 60's into the 80's. Was one of the most popular male singers during the British Invasion of the 60's. In 1968 he wrote and released the hit - "Abraham, Martin and John" (also includes Bobby in the song). He was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "Runaround Sue in 2002; inducted into music Hall of Fame in 1989 and the the song "Run around Sue" is #351 of the top 500 songs of all time. Quite an amazing singer and songwriter.
How in the world were able to coordinate the wording and the timing WoW !!!
A great movie of this era is American Graffiti. I grew up with this music, such a great time. Thanks for the memories.
Dion is still making music, He plays the blues now and has worked with some great musicians.
Great song! Always makes me think of the movie Christine though 😅. That would be a good pick for the movie channel, especially at Halloween.
Great song! This is my parents' time. Please do "Bristol Stomp" by The Dovells. That was my father's first small record that he bought in 1961. Thanks!
Frankie Lymon. An amazing young singer who died to young.
Yes. "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" and "I Want You To Be My Girl" are a couple of the songs.
Dion has some great songs!!! Check out more by him!!
Heart and Soul from Cleftones, Twighlight Time, The Lion Sleeps Tonight & Smoke Gets in Your Eyes from the platters
DION BELMONTS FANTASTIC WONDER WHY ~
Older Dion was good but you should react to his song "ABRAHAM, MARTIN & JOHN" that he put out later in life. It's about the taking of these 3 great men lives too soon! its beautiful!!
Thanks guys. This is a classic. dion is underrated
It's pretty cool that their voices act as instruments in these songs
Do Wop was street music, no instruments . Songs of the radio and rocked up. When taken off the street and instruments added the harmonies and rhythms were kept in. Every neighborhood in the Bronx (home of Dion & The Belmonts) had a group
Their voices were the main instruments. Any backing instruments were in the background.
Great song! Always reminds me of the movie A Bronx Tale. Great movie too! You should check that out on your movie reaction channel.
"Now youse can't leave."
This song always makes me think of the movie “ PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED”!! Ugh …. Such a classic. Classic movie and song! 💜💜💜
“The Wander” is my favorite!!🤘🔥
I think the do wap originated by groups singing in the street and they didn't have any instruments. The do waps etc. provided the percussion and bass similar to how a Cappella groups do that today. When they started recording that, the instruments were added but the do waps stayed.
If you grew up Italian you know and love this music
Dion and the Belmonts were a part of the Winter Dance Party Tour the last one of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper aka Jules Richardson
Dion at 19 years old in 1958 and he's still perfoming
...but without the wavy hair.
Great 50s doo wop group. They took their name from Belmont Ave. in the Bronx where they hung out practicing their tunes.
The vocal filling essentially replaces where other songs would have instrumental parts.
If you want to hear some of the best du-wop music, I strongly recommend The Platters, and The Drifters! I was born in 65 so I benefited from several decades of great music. Dion was one of my mom's favorites, and became one of mine too.
❤Dion
Jan and Dean, Lou Christie, Ricky Nelson...there are sooo many greats from the early 60's on! You guys did the Seekers the other day, one of my faves "I'll never find another you", right after Judith died...but did you know the "B side" of that 45rpm disc was "open up them pearly gates"? I was listening to that song the day BEFORE Judith died. I just thought that was an odd b-side for the song that I heard right before she died. Anyway...great review.
Fabian was popular in the 50s. He's Elvis like. Turn Me Loose and Tiger, if I remember, were two of his bigger hits.
You guys should check out "Where or When" by Dion and the Belmonts; it's slower than this and the harmonies are, if anything, better. It's terrific.
Also, if you like doo-wqp harmonies, check out "Once in a While" by The Chimes, "You Belong to Me" by The Duprees, and "You Were Mine" by The Fireflies, all great examples of doo-wop harmonies.
So many exquisite Doo Wop songs that you'll love.
I grew up dancing to this.
If you’re gonna go down the 50s rabbit hole you must not forget “rockabilly”, a hot genre from the early 50s. It wasn't called "Rockabilly" at the time, though. That's what it later came to be called. At the time it was just the real authentic, dark, down and dirty beginnings of "Rock-n-Roll". In later years Rockabilly blossomed into an entire underground life style of hot rods, hair styles and fashion that is still alive today with a very dedicated cult following. Start your Rockabilly journey with Gene Vincent (“Be-Bop-a-Lula”). and Elvis Presley (“Mystery Train”- the original 1955 version on Sun Records), and Charlie Feathers (“ Gone Gone Gone”). Those’ll get ya started off on the right foot for sure, with much more to discover! Have fun!!!
I like to think of this style of music as singing the instruments parts. The Belmonts do the bass, keyboards and guitar parts. They just sing the parts. ☮💛🎶
The feel of this just warrants a recommendation to watch Peggy Sue Got Married. Made in the 80s but set in the late 50s/early 60s. Starring a young Nicholas Cage and Kathleen Turner. It also has Jim Carey as a side character.
The Doo Wop style comes from little 5 man groups that would stand on street corners and sing. The had no money and so, no instruments. They would tell the low voice guy to sing something like , "Ba do, ba do, ba dum, dum do".So he sounded like a bass instrument. The other singers made sounds to duplicate other instruments and the lead, high voice guy sang the melody. Some of these groups were good enough to record and the producers added instruments to their Doo Wop songs.😁
I don’t know if you watch PBS but occasionally the PBS stations will offer fundraising shows by bringing back the Doo Wop artists. In fact my southern Arizona PBS has a Doo Wop program scheduled for 7 pm Saturday evening.
Ah, American Bandstand and dancing around the Living room
With Dion my childhood
Just FYI the Andrew Sisters were not Doo Wop genre and not from the 1950s. They were at their peak in the 1940s, their style was Swing & Boogie-Woogie, and during Word War II, hence their military outfits.
I'm Italian a 36 year old guy and This gives me like 50s And 60s and Goodfellas Vibes
Dion is a treasure, you need to see a different side to Dion also. Check out his moving song Abraham, Martin and John. One of my all time favorite songs ever. A very moving song check out the names that is a very good clue where this song goes. You will be glad you did.
One of my favs way back when, Thank you.
I hope you listened to a Teenager in Love. And the Eleganys, Little Star.
a cuple of classics from the same era... The Skyliners - Since I Don't Have You. The Duprees - You belong to me
Always good to hear Dion. The Wanderer by Dion was the very first record I ever bought, a 45 (the small record with the large hole in the middle and only one song per side). I was in the 2nd grade and saved birthday money to buy it. It's still a great song!
One of my favorite eras
"I Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos is a gorgeous doo wop song with a slower, more romantic feel. It's one of the most beautiful songs of the 50's, and you may recognize it because it's iconic, so they use it in movies and commercials and such.
I’m new here and I’m 76 years old the memories your giving me thank you
You're going to love these two.
Welcome to the RSR family🙋🏻♀️
same here, some of those slow-dance doo wop songs were as delicious as this one, here's the ravishing "Since I Don't" by the Skyliners...th-cam.com/video/ngZh6ZSRoYg/w-d-xo.html
"At The Hop" is the first one that comes to mind for Doo Op.
The Clinger Sisters - SHOOP SHOOP DE DOOP RAMA LAMA DING DONG. You'll love it.
There voices are in place of the guitar and bass.....
Dion "Abraham, martin and John 1968 Iconic song
Some of Dion DiMucci's other biggest hits include "Ruby Baby", "Runaway", "Lovers Who Wander", and "Donna the Prima Donna". (He had a LOT of songs with girls' names in them.)
Dion did not sing “Runaway” that was Del Shanon.
hahaha the boys from Belmont Ave in the Bronx...hanging out on the street corner and singing
Dion - “The Wanderer”
He is the original playa
You got to see the live video of them performing this song
The first uptempo Doo Wop was by The Chords: Sh-Boom.
…And in the song all the (to us) nonsensical lyrics has a meaning and are the sounds one would hear in the neighborhood.
My favorite “nonsensical” is when his smelly uncle “bip” walks by, and their lyrical reaction- need to listen to this sonically and historically great song!
Ronnie and the Red Caps "An Angel Is Missing" (1961) Listen, then look up who Ronnie is.
This is definitely doo wop. I'd like to suggest their version of "Where or When." Beautiful ballad.
Man I love his voice. Always have since I was a kid in the late 80's/early 90's listening to the oldies station in the car with my parents lol
There is wall to wall 50s music in a movie called "American Hot Wax". Its the true story of DJ Alan Freed (who coined the term Rock n Roll) and his 1959 live rock n roll show. This movie is kind of hard to find since its not officially on DVD, but it must be on line somewhere.
