I'm so glad that you are checking out songs from the 50s and 60s. This was real music with no auto tune and all of that junk. There are so many good groups and individuals from the 50's and 60's. The Five Satins, Danny and the Juniors, Bobby Darin, Bobby Vinton and so so many more. Love to hear these.
This is one you slow dance to with your spouse after the kids are asleep. Or on a date night. Love to sing along with these songs when you hear them. Thanks for this reaction!
The Doo Wop era was characterized by these romantic songs and, yes, this was the beginning of the black/white crossover and everyone listened. And remember this was before all the computer aided recording techniques. Every sound is made by a talented human. Check out The Platters...'Only You', 'Twilight Time', 'The Great Pretender' or 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes'. Tony Williams had one of the greatest voices ever.
I'm 78 and this song was popular during my time ... just so you know ... in my part of the South, this song was popular with all white kids and played on all the stations we listened to. Even though Hollywood would have you believe otherwise, believe me, we didn't care what color they were.
At high school dances, the last song of the night was either "Earth Angel" ...... or..... The Five Satins "In the Still of the Night". And that was true in the 1950s and still in the 1960s. Two classics of the era. I was lucky enough to be in high school at the time..... great memories.
Imagine slow dancing with your beloved to this song. Another similar song (for slow dancing) is "Angel Baby" by Rosie and the Originals. Many times I danced to this and similar songs with my beloved who awaits me in heaven. We were married 50 years.
this song stayed as a favorite for at least 2 decades.......... Anyone from that era can sing every word and has fond memories of parties and sweethearts from high school and college....
A Classic! I’m 45 so I grew up hearing this on my parent’s oldies station (at that time it was 50’s/60’s) we had NYC stations. I’m pretty sure it was on all stations. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 You should check out Back to the Future. Great movie. Lots of good tunes!
I’m 65 yrs old & I remember me & my Dad singing this all the time & I sang it to all my kids & grandkids!💜 I know it by Heart 😘 😉”AB”another classic is “Why don’t you write me”, The Jacks 1950’s😘👍🏼
Do Bobby Darin singing "Beyond The Sea". Another great choice from the era of my youth. "Earth Angel" was of course first played on black stations on the west coast and soon became a hit here on the east coast. Ultimately it was played white stations and became a huge crossover hit.
I was from Brooklyn, NY. I grew up with Doo Wop music. In NYC, it was all we cared about, plus Elvis. That song may have come out in 55 but it was still popular in the 60s. How do i know? Look at my name. 🥰
This song is an example of a style popular in the first wave of rock and roll (1950s and early 1960s) known as doo-wop or streetcorner harmony. Most of the doo-wop groups were black (although there were white groups such as the Duprees and Dion and the Belmonts). They featured close harmony (influenced by the 1940s group The Mills Brothers) and most singers were high tenors (influenced by The Inkspots' Bill Kenny). Many of the groups got their starts singing on city street corners, where they might compete with other neighborhood groups. "Earth Angel" and the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night" were often the last songs played at 1950s dances. My own personal favorite is The Five Satins' "To the Aisle." You might want to investigate the Drifters, a group that produced many hits in the 1950s, such as "Fools Fall in Love" and "Save the Last Dance For Me".
Im 31 but i grew up listening to Doo Wop and the oldies from the 50's 60's and 70's. Gotta love that lowrider culture. You gotta check out The Skyliners "This I swear". Another instant engagement ring, bro.
Beautiful song, before I was born also, born in 68. Don’t remember for sure where I first heard it,might have been in my mother’s 45’s, or on my parents vinyl albums! But I do remember it in Back to the Future too.❤❤ Thanks as always AB!🔥👍👏
Great song, great group!!! Love the oldies!! The Ballads from those days we could sing to and did we ever!! Loved it!! Motown was played on all stations. Bet it was on BandStand with Dick Clark.
Another song you might like is Teen Angel. There was a whole sub-genre of teen tragedy songs & this was one of the best. Give it a listen sometime if you can. 😄
I was born in 1962 and grew up basically in the 1970s (from age 8 to 18). While there was rock and disco, yes, we had plenty of beautiful love songs from artists like Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, John Denver, Jim Croce, and many more. I have also gone back to "catch up" and learn hundreds of songs of the 1920's through 1960's. I am SO sad for young ladies of the last 20 years or so who don't know what it is to have love songs in their present day music. None...or damn little. Every song objectifies them and is derogatory towards them. So demeaning. My heart breaks that they don't get romance or are made to feel special through their music.
you're speaking facts...we all hate that it was that way 😔 more so then than today ( still workin on it) How many white people thought Charlie Pride was white? Every fkn body lol...MUSIC...brings the PEOPLE back TOGETHER. I think Madonna had a song about that😍
New Edition version th-cam.com/video/GjbTDiCb5Cw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YybLkdki321_paPU Back to the Future´s "Earth Angel", studio recorded by Marvin Berry & The Starlighters th-cam.com/video/41GsS3jldOIs/w-d-xo.htmli=SqxoXNsTjZlnWMyS I loved this song as a child via the Penguin's version, then New Edition and Marvin Berry version from the movie. But now I always think of Shaggy's Angel too whenever I hear this song
You're going way too deep. No one needed to pretend they were white. This was slow dancing in the gym music. Most of the guy groups were black. There WAS racism, but no one turned away from the Penguins.
I'm 75 and can still sing every word. Thanks!
I am 74 and right there with you!👍
@@bethlovcy1276 Me too.
I'll be 75 in 3 months...looooove these songs

The Penguins were an American doo-wop group from the 50's-60's. "Earth Angel" is their biggest hit & was used in the "Back To The Future" movies.
I’ve loved this song since I watched those movies!

I do believe this song was played at every High School sock hop even throughout the 60s. I know it was at my school.❤
All stations played the Penguins
The Flamingos - I only have eyes for you. Another one for the wifey!

I grew up in a family that grew up with this kind of music. Great music for another great reaction.

You should check out Back to the Future. Great movie. Lots of good tunes!
Sadly, now the "oldies" station plays '80s music. 🙄
Same here I’m 44, years old and my mom played “Solid Gold” oldies 60’s, 60’s & 70’s - those songs are the bedrock of my musical core momories

Beautiful song. Love those times❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's pronounced Bobby Darin Dare-in. Check out Bobby's "Mack The Knife". This song was played everywhere.
60 years old! Amazing song! Grew up listening to this...one of moms favorites!
Danced to this in High School

THAT WAS A WONDERFUL SONG I REMEMBER THAT SONG VAGUELY! YOUR REVIEWS ARE FIRE! SINCE I LOVE GOD SO MUCH IT'S A HOLY 🔥❤
78cyear old this was our belly rubbing music back in the day ..
Im 31 but i grew up listening to Doo Wop and the oldies from the 50's 60's and 70's. Gotta love that lowrider culture. You gotta check out The Skyliners "This I swear". Another instant engagement ring, bro.
This is the slow song they sing in Back to the Future when Marty is in 1955.
Perfect timing for Valentine's Day
They were played on white stations. It was the beginning of white young people embracing Black music during the invention of Rock n Roll.
This song was covered in Back to the Future in the enchantment under the sea dance scene after George knocks out Biff
More of the stuff my mom played all the time 😊💜
This right here is a hit I’m 39 and have been listening to this for as long as I can remember do some more oldies
I've heard covers of this, some are good. But this is the best. Straight voice and talent, no over production.
Beautiful song, before I was born also, born in 68. Don’t remember for sure where I first heard it,might have been in my mother’s 45’s, or on my parents vinyl albums! But I do remember it in Back to the Future too.❤❤
Thanks as always AB!🔥👍👏
Great song, great group!!! Love the oldies!! The Ballads from those days we could sing to and did we ever!! Loved it!! Motown was played on all stations. Bet it was on BandStand with Dick Clark.
Another song you might like is Teen Angel. There was a whole sub-genre of teen tragedy songs & this was one of the best. Give it a listen sometime if you can. 😄
Love when you explore the oldies! This was played on general radio. Bobby Darin who popped up is another journey to take.
This song was in the movie Back to the Future.
A beautiful song to slow dance to.
I knew when you were saying they get 3 chances to impress you that within 10 seconds you would be putting them in the Hall of Fame
You'll have to let us know if your wife likes it! Absolutely beautiful song!
I knew you'd like this one lol
You have got to react to The Marcels Blue Moon!
DEFINITELY!
Thank you for this. ❤❤❤❤❤
You should react to The Four Seasons' songs.
Back in the day when they had to have talent.
You might have heard this song on the movie Back to the Future.
all stations it was very popular

They were a Doo-Wop group!
Please do Billy Joel “Just the Way You Are” live…I think you’ll love it
Billy Joel is awesome!
The Penguins were Black. Masters of Doo Wop.
Awesome!!!...This is one of the songs from Back To The Future 1...But the artist is different on the movie...You should check it out...
Back to the Future. Yesss good tunes from that movie!
This was very popular
you're speaking facts...we all hate that it was that way 😔 more so then than today ( still workin on it) How many white people thought Charlie Pride was white? Every fkn body lol...MUSIC...brings the PEOPLE back TOGETHER. I think Madonna had a song about that😍

Back to the Future´s "Earth Angel", studio recorded by Marvin Berry & The Starlighters th-cam.com/video/41GsS3jldOIs/w-d-xo.htmli=SqxoXNsTjZlnWMyS
I loved this song as a child via the Penguin's version, then New Edition and Marvin Berry version from the movie. But now I always think of Shaggy's Angel too whenever I hear this song
They don’t make music like this anymore ❤
I'm 67 my child.
I'm 75 and remember this song, and others.
Didn't matter as lots of white kids listened to black stations, so we all loved these songs.
You're going way too deep. No one needed to pretend they were white. This was slow dancing in the gym music. Most of the guy groups were black. There WAS racism, but no one turned away from the Penguins.
After listening to those vocals, you wonder if they're white?
