Mark Fizz The men were handsome too, professional looking & treated the women properly (for the most part). Now we face OLD men dictating to women what to do with their pregnancies. Funny, seeing as these are old men who DIDN'T treat the women properly EVER (case in point the Donald, who showed up in beauty pageant dressing rooms!
A few years ahead of you here in the UK; loved this disc, along with SO many when the hit parade was full of great songs week after week in our music papers New Musical Express and Melody Maker.
I was born in 52, and I agree. The music, even Big Band and Doris Day, and all the wide scope of it all was amazing. I love listening to any and all of it.
I was born in the 60’s and grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. Whenever I’d see anything from the 50’s, I’d tell my parents I wish I grew up in the 50’s. Now my kids see film of our time in the 80’s and tell me they wish they grew up in the 80’s. We sure had some good times back when!
Roger Zimet Get over the dirty words. We're NOT all baby boomers. I'm Gen X, so the kid of baby boomers. We were sick of all those "rules" & also sick of treating women as playthings, objects who were stuck in the kitchen.
@@seanhunter4297 bruh the boomers were the ones who skyrocketed women's lib. Your thinking of the parents of the boomers. Boomers were teens/young Peeple in the 60s n 70s
Yeah, I long for the days I have never lived through. Especially because it was much less progressive and minorities were more often than not segregated away. Homophobia and racism is really missed by some.
Boy, you don't know how the mind works. If you can imagine it, it still exists. There is no world out there from its own side. Everything depends on the mind.
What early years? LOL. Okay, it was the late 50s, early 60s, and this was a style called "Doo Wop." It began on the East Coast in NYC, and NJ, mostly. Explore Doo Wop a bit. There are a lot of beautiful, romantic songs of that time.
This was released when I was 13 years old. Yes I'm bloody old. This was the age of crooners and then suddenly there was exciting music and girls, oh yes the girls in their wonderful dresses and beehive hair. Where are they now ? Life is so short. Live it to the full or you will regret it later.
The Diamonds were a group from Toronto, Canada, one of whom was a sound engineer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. They achieved 16 hits on the Billboard charts and were inducted into the Doo-Wop Hall of Fame.
This is a movie so the girls are going to look like models. In the real world, the girls in the 50s looked just like the girls today, but they did wear more skirts and they were thinner. The obesity of today comes from people having more money to buy food and doing less physical labor due to automation.
What an amazing trip in time! Thanks to my mom, I grew up with this awesome song and many others!❤ How the years have gone by! To all those amazing memories and the days we thought would last forever!❤
Something happened along the way. Something very profound and sad between the 1950s and 1960s. The music that both kids and their parents enjoyed together suddenly changed and separated the two generations. It was closely followed with the Vietnam War which did irreparable damage to the country. I lived those years and truly miss all those great songs.
We,were soldiers once and young!The upbringing,we had,from,WW2,and Korean War Veterans,instilled in us love of country!Is there anything wrong with that!Thomas A.Filipiak! Viet Nam! 1967 1968!
maybe you will remember this...this song was done by the diamonds, one of the members was David Somerville...he went on to team up with Bruce balland of the 4 preps (26 miles/Santa Catalina) they did a comedy/folk bit...here they are on the Johnny cash show th-cam.com/video/qL9AdmfbkJ4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheFourPreps
I grew up listening to this song along with tons of mid to late 1950’s songs at my grandparents house ever since I was a toddler. Sadly my grandfather is no longer alive, he passed away back in September unexpectedly to a stoke, but he introduced me to some great catchy timeless tunes. :’) (This was one of his top favorite songs.)
Well we can't go back. But I did buy myself a 57 Speedster and listen to 50's music while cruising. (I grew up in the 80's) and yes girls were still thin. We called them skinny. I married one and she is still skinny!
@@jackgibsxxx0750 I think it said in the caption that it was "Peyton Place" from 1957. I remember the movie from those years although I was only seven when it came out. The movie title became a scornful cliche in the religious communities any time they wanted to comment on any kind of "adult" behavior in the neighborhood. Even for many years after.
The 50’s were incredible. Full of post-war optimism and people wanting to have fun and enjoy life. The cars, the fashion and the music were all about unrestrained joy, colour and creativity. The perfect antidote to the grey, destructive and ugly years of WWII. What a great decade 🏆👏👏
Chez Mcewan Yes, for the WHITE MEN. Women could hardly EVER get a job. You see on "I Love Lucy" that women were treated as brainless kitchen slaves. As a man, I find that highly offensive. While I liked this particular song--- most of the 1950s is full of "hokey" music....60s were better.
It was great for only America. It prospered after the war as it suffered no destruction, bombings or persecutions. Europe was devastated by allied bombings of both military and civilian properties. Displaced refugees were left with nothing, cities were completely ruined, food and housing shortages were everywhere. Everyone in Europe suffered after the war. While America grew and prospered. It was a terrible decade for others!
@@bonjourpierre4778 - I get your point, but that’s only half true. The USA helped Europe recover from the war with the Marshall Aid Plan. Germany used the money well to invest in its industry and experienced the economic miracle of the 1950s with high growth rates. France likewise. Socialist Britain wasted its gift of Marshall Aid in building a wasteful welfare state, but still experienced decent growth rates. So yes - much of Europe did lay in ruins after WW2, but it did recover pretty quickly. Mind you, Britain only paid off its war debt in 2016.
Fine example of Early Rock and Roll and the Doo Wop Area. Not sophisticated just a good moving beat that was great to dance to. I was 14 years old when this song was a big hit. To young to appreciate it then but now it causes a pause and a lump in my throat, my how the time goes by.
Days when girls were girls and boys loved it! To me they were a mystery to discover what made them tick, a fascinating person ( not having sisters) I didn’t know how to talk with. Yet, I have learned to love, being married awhile and having children
Interesting! My dad is from the same year as you (March of 1951). We were just having this conversation the other day. I was asking him how much women have changed over the decades and when did it all seem to go down in terms of beauty standards. He was telling me how ladies in the 50s and 60s always wore dresses and had their hair nicely done. Everyone just seemed more relaxed and kind. He said it was in 2000 when women started looking uglier collectively.
@@Arthur-rl1cj - The average life span for an Indian was short. It was a male dominated society. When you were no longer able to contribute to "that society," you were left behind. As to slaves, it was the Black man himself, who captured weaker tribe members and sold them into slavery. If you are ashamed of how it all turned out.... only in America, could you pack your bags and go anywhere you desire. Russia, Cuba, Somalia, Afghanistan....so many "good" places you could migrate to find the life you dream about. Best of luck to finding "that perfect" society.
This song was written by Maurice Williams and originally recorded by his group called the Gladiolas. He later had a big hit with "Stay" (as Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs.) The Gladiolas version has a latin beat and is really good. You can find it on TH-cam. Check it out, you will like it. The Diamonds specialized in covering black R&B records and did this song somewhat tongue in cheek. (Note the exaggerated talking part) . But this version of the song is an absolute classic.
I look at the old man with the little boy strolling down the sidewalk at 1:00 and think, this movie came out in 1957. Imagine all the changes and developments that old man saw within his lifetime.
My God, women were so beautiful in this era. 🔥💖
Mark Fizz The men were handsome too, professional looking & treated the women properly (for the most part). Now we face OLD men dictating to women what to do with their pregnancies.

And so slender.
They were movie stars in the video. Lana Turner, Diane Varsi, Hope Lange, Terry Thomas. Their entire lives were about being beautiful.
So beautiful, so cute
Females now days have NO idea how to dress OR behave ....
I'm 18 years old and I would listen to this music over any of the new crap.
It takes some courage to say that, especially among your peers, but I know that you are not alone - not by a long shot. Stay strong.
👏👏👏👏👏 Brazil needs help. A thief'$ tryng to stole our country, our souls and our children. His name'$ lula 🙈
Good for you !
Its
May the younger generation call this music schmaltzy but I still like it.
82 in 24 and still rocking! Remember the 50s very well..
Being born in 1947 i was there for all of it. What a time to be alive.
And imagine all the cool cars you’ve seen & bought

You were born in 1947 and I was was born February 21st 1958 great times and great music 🎶 🎵 and of course great memories
can you tell me the name of the movie in this clip TY

50s was everywhere in the 70s. The music. TV shows. Where were you hidden?
The best music ever with no dirty words, a sound that'll never die. Greetings from Panama.
me alegra saber de que de este lado tambíen hay gente que disfruta esta musica
un abrazo desde Uruguay :)

Back when men were gentlemen and women were ladies. Too bad America is a degenerate cesspool now…
America was a much better place back then.

Yeah, must less progressive so the minorities couldn't do as much as they can these days. I long for the homophobia and racism of the past.

Halcyon Days NEVER to return ❤🇬🇧🌟
People dress so nice back then. The age of innocents.
Women actually wore dresses back then? Today's women dress like men. Ah, what memories, what memories.
"i-n-n-o-c-e-n-c-e"
April 1946. Makes me 78 in three months. Remember this song from high school.
The song, the thin/tall females, the cars, the clothes, all strike a nostalgic chord in my soul.
The 60’s ruined everything and we’ll never get (Little Darlin back)😢or that time!
You want to undo the civil rights movement and go back to segregation ?
Boy, you don't know how the mind works. If you can imagine it, it still exists. There is no world out there from its own side. Everything depends on the mind.
If you're one of those who feels the liberalism of the 1960's ruined things, that's your point of view.
One of the greatest hits of the early years, great voices!!

The Diamonds were a group from Toronto, Canada, one of whom was a sound engineer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. They achieved 16 hits on the Billboard charts and were inducted into the Doo-Wop Hall of Fame.
Little Darlin was one of 1957's biggest pop hits. Another major pop hit that year was Diana by Ottawa's Paul Anka.
this song came from the age of great music and I was blessed to be young and experience this type of music
I love the song "Little Darling" by The Diamonds.
I'm amazed and attracted by this song.
Was für eine schöne Zeit das war. Schöne Frauen und Männer, wundervolle Autos und wunderbare Musik. Ich liebe es!
Back when thin was in and America had beautiful girls.
Thin was in everyone had a pocket full of speed
I don't see any correlation between a certain era and beautiful girls.
This is a movie so the girls are going to look like models. In the real world, the girls in the 50s looked just like the girls today, but they did wear more skirts and they were thinner.

Wow a medal to whoever remastered this to stereo. One of my favorite oldies. Thank you.
What a beautiful time in America. ❤️🇺🇸👌
MAGA! 🇺🇸
I hope. 🤠🇺🇸
If you were a straight, white men. Not so great for everyone else.
It was a lot better back then in New Zealand as well , I was born in 1964. 🙂

Marxism and LBJ happened
That is nothing compared to what happened between the 1950s and now. The entire world now exists in separate little pockets of dysfunction.

Korea 1950-1953. You are not forgotten.
Back in the good ole days!! When people used to have a little sense!! 😂😂
The best of times. Bobby socks, blue jeans, music, cars, and the drive-in.
Smiles,hi Suzie 🤗
I sometimes feel that I was born to late but on the good side I can still enjoy the 50s cars and music along with the 70s music.
And don't forget the nose rings and other piercings! Some of them look like a walking hardware store! 🤯
The World Was A Much Different and Special Place

Wish I could go back
None of those people seemed confused about what gender they are! I need a time machine!
OK, run away to your safe place and leave the diverse world to the people who are more resilient than you.
Movie is Peyton Place.Lana Turner, Hope Lange, Russ Tamblyn, Arthur Kennedy w/the ladder.
Well we can't go back. But I did buy myself a 57 Speedster and listen to 50's music while cruising.
(I grew up in the 80's) and yes girls were still thin. We called them skinny. I married one and she is still skinny!
That was a great time!
Miss the "Baby Boom" years of my youth - the '50s, '60's had the BEST music. Early '70's was good until Disco came along and spoiled it all.
Playing this over the movie footage was just perfect. Actually inspired. Well done.
What movie is this??

Solo lo mejor de los años 50.. fabuloso
I grow up in the 70s. But mom dad played 50s. 6os. I still love the sound .
Who else is listening to this song on 2023?
I have listened to this for many many years. A classic!
We took pride in the way we looked!😊
Absolute epic of our time.
A música americana é plena, rica e versátil. Eu gosto delas todas. Sempre fui fã e sempre serei.
I love the video, How I wish I had a Time Machine.
Miss the REAL SONGS and MUSIC 😢❤
fantastic video !
Those were the days!!!!
Smiles,hi Susan 🤗
Do-wop was just a little before my time, but I came to appreciate it in my sixties. Sha-na-na,s interpretation of the era, was great !
Love this song when I was 11. Now I 56 and still love ....
The best music. Love this era!

What happened to United States. l used to travel for a vacation in the 80's and still was not so bad as it is today. I still missed those days.
Wow, I'm 83 and remember the very day I heard this song and watched CIB pound out an interpretation -[10-10-57].

Che anni tutto era molto più semplice, la musica i jukebox, le comitive, lo stare insieme, le spiagge d'estate, la vespa, la cinquecento,
Good to hear this again
A MASTERPIECE OF THE DOOWOP . GREAT SONG BYY A GREAT GROUP
That distinct 1950s chord progression I-vi-IV-V (one-six minor-four-five, as in C-Am-F-G). Almost every song. Simple, but wonderful!
That right. Makes it easier to play.
Wow! Sure brings back pleasant memories
When you close your eyes and can be transported to another world, even thougth you know you are just dreaming.
1956.
Back in the day.
Just, growing up!
Look at the clean streets! Amazing!
The music from the past is wonderful! Other times... Thanks for the post.
I'm 73yo, best part of this era was the automobiles 🚘, as for the woman now, well they do look Sensational, some are so beautiful it's beyond belief.
Wonderful music and great accompanying video, well done! A time when many women had naturally slender figures and naturally beautiful.
Thank you for the lovely sharing, my friend 😊
@@clip-nt3ds You are most welcome, my friend 😊
Elvis thought so much of this song , that he recorded it in 1976.
