That beautiful voice never changes! Johnny was my favorite! I had the opportunity back in 1979 to see them live and loved their TV show every Saturday night.
Johnny, you still have the magic! You are still one of the top of the tenors in the business! You, Roy O. and Johnny Meastro. They are gone now, but you all have left us music to enjoy. Thanks for the memories!...........
I want to cry watching this performance now - it was 1978 I was still a schoolboy I watched Sha-Na-Na in the Grease movie - and this is the song that 70s era that I grew up with fond memories. Excuse me just give me a second to wipe off my tears.
I just learned that his maternal grandfather was an opera singer, and he didn't know he had a singing voice until he was 6 years old in a Boston Church Choir!
Yes he can ! That was an amazing night .. Johnny had dinner the night before with me and my friends in Asbury Park . The next night was the taping for PBS... I was with him hanging out until it was his turn to perform... he had to sing it 3 times in a row .. the first time the camera crew screwed something up , the. 2nd time the bass player blew the ending of the song and then the 3rd time was the clip posted here .. Johnny knocked it out of the park all 3 times ! He is still absolutely amazing
The four who sang backup are a the Modern Gentlemen , they also sing backup with Frankie Valli .. The other guy Asa , had performed earlier on the show , doing the same song . It was a PBS DOO WOP show
Never get tired of you. I comment to all your you tubes. Still my favorite singer of all time. No other music can live up to oldies but goodies. I’ll listen to you till the end. Keep singing
This is such a rare find! I can't believe how wonderfully consistent his performance is even after more than 45 years performing it. Johnny is a legendary and passionate professional indeed. ✨
Always love this song by him. Couldn't quite hit some of the higher notes this time around, but that's to be expected. He still did a fantastic job. What a voice. Great memory.
Are you kidding me! Those guys behind him are young to be his grandsons! Johnny’s voice never ages! What a gift.
They are Frankie Vallie’s back up singers

@@cag758 this was fun to do. Johnny is a great guy!!
@@TheModernGentlemen great job Brian & guys!! Had a few "pops" with Johnny following the Bowser Christmas Concert @ REH last year. Great guy!
The gold suit is no more. But the voice is still golden.
Don't forget his personality - that's golden, too!
That beautiful voice never changes! Johnny was my favorite! I had the opportunity back in 1979 to see them live and loved their TV show every Saturday night.
He was my singing teacher in Orange County in 2007
a memory forever
One of the greatest voices of all time
I have to agree
In all my 48 years of life, the best male singer voice I ever heard was that of Johnny Contardo
Johnny is really good! What a voice!
Totally agree. That voice of his is breath taking
Agreed!
He's awesome. However, to your specific post...Better than Brian Wilson, Pavarotti, Roger Daltrey, Meatloaf, Frankie Valli ... To each his own.
He's at the top with a couple of others - Johnny Maestro, etc.
I watched Sha Na Na every night as a kid just for Johnny -- I was so in love with his voice; he's still got it!
I watched every Sat. night and waited for the disco ball and was thrilled for Johnny's vocal. He could make me swoon. :-)
He’s on Facebook
He is still amazing ..and he is a really genuine great guy 😊
Ditto!He was beautiful then and He's beautiful now...and what a voice!😁
Johnny's singing voice WASN'T the only thing I loved about him - he also has looks and a personality to match!
Anyone know where I can watch Sha Na Na nowadays? Is there an archive or something?
Notice how the singers from that generation still sound great? True talent, not studio creations. Love this song.
Let's not judge to harshly ... listen to those background singers ... they are killing it ... what generation are they ?
It makes NO difference which generation you come from, because God gives everyone gifts, and Johnny was given the gift of song!
@@LisaKoffler No, he practiced relentlessly. Your Imaginary friends have nothing to do with it.
Anonymous, I have NO imaginary friends! We ALL have to practice our God given gifts relentlessly!
@@theccpisaparasite8813 they’re The Modern Gentlemen .. pretty sure they back up Frankie Valli as well
Very talented guys
His voice is still so young! Very stable
Not quite. His voice aged, but he can STILL sing those high notes!
Been taking real good care of his voice. 👍
I saw a Facebook picture of him with a cigar in his mouth and I sent him a message: "YUCK!"
Johnny shows that Doo-Wop is the greatest sounding music to one's ear.

I can’t begin to tell you how hard this song is to sing. Johnny Contardo is a Living Legend!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes he is
And he’s still knocking it out of the park every time he sings!!
I will never ever get tired of listening to Johnny sing that song. ❤️
I listen to it every day so warming and loveing, thank you Johnny
Always gives me goose bumps
Haleyey😎😎😎
Haleyey🥰
This guy still has excellent pipes!!
Not really. His vocals can't hit those high notes like he use to.. He's much older now. But at least he's trying his best. It's ok at best.
It's true his singing voice isn't what it was 40 years ago, but he can still hit those high notes!
@EM-xb1uc I'm pretty sure compared to your voice, Johnny's is angelic.
Johnny, you still have the magic! You are still one of the top of the tenors in the business! You, Roy O. and Johnny Meastro. They are gone now, but you all have left us music to enjoy. Thanks for the memories!...........
He still sounds as good as his old Sha Na Na days! AMAZING!!!
Johnny still gives me goosebumps when he sings!
He’s great! Nice guy too!
He STILL makes me blush!
I want to cry watching this performance now - it was 1978 I was still a schoolboy I watched Sha-Na-Na in the Grease movie - and this is the song that 70s era that I grew up with fond memories. Excuse me just give me a second to wipe off my tears.
Grease is that show that let me know about this song, but at that time we don't have such convenience that able to watch his performance from u tude.
Still an amazing voice one of the most underrated and talented artists ever
Why there"s anybody likes him today....he sings likes poetry
I just learned that his maternal grandfather was an opera singer, and he didn't know he had a singing voice until he was 6 years old in a Boston Church Choir!
He's still got it. He's brilliant.
Still got it!!!!
Absolutely
He just recorded “You’re So Vain” yesterday and put it out on his Facebook page .. still sounds AMAZING
Johnny can still sing GREAT and he is Still Very Handsome
Love love love that voice! I will never get enough! ❤❤❤
Johnny Contardo , Johnny Maestro and Dion Demucci were my favorite doo wop lead singers of all time
@Charles Taylor I agree about Tony Williams..... I should have added Larry Chance of the Earls
Can't forget about Vito Piccone and The Elegants with Little Star.
I can't decide who my favorites are, but Johnny is as wonderful now as he was as "The Kid!"
Man ! He can still hit those High Notes 😊
Yes he can ! That was an amazing night .. Johnny had dinner the night before with me and my friends in Asbury Park . The next night was the taping for PBS... I was with him hanging out until it was his turn to perform... he had to sing it 3 times in a row .. the first time the camera crew screwed something up , the. 2nd time the bass player blew the ending of the song and then the 3rd time was the clip posted here ..
Johnny knocked it out of the park all 3 times ! He is still absolutely amazing
It doesn't surprise me, since it's a God given gift!
Love all the Doowop!!
Amazing artist !! Johnny contardo ,Bowser ,.
Y'all are the best !!

He totally owns this song for sure!
It's NOT an easy song to sing, and you have to be outstandingly gifted and formally trained, just like Johnny!
My Favorite Song!!!!!!!!!!! Johnny you are the GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!! Love you!
I love how the displaced "lead" stands there helpless, can't even throw in an oooh or ahhh...
Johnny is that good.
Five backing singers, one did nothing! Johnny perfect as always.
The four who sang backup are a the Modern Gentlemen , they also sing backup with Frankie Valli ..
The other guy Asa , had performed earlier on the show , doing the same song .
It was a PBS DOO WOP show
He can still hit those high notes. Love that voice
Of course, no one can sing this song like Johnny but the background singers add lyrics and really add to the song.
Still sounds AWESOME!!!! What a voice!!!!
This was one of our most favorite moments of the special to film. This and the Skyliners for sure. Johnny is awesome!
Who doesn't love Johnny Contardo? He's doing what he does best and was born to do. He still sounds fabulous and handsome as ever.😄
He really is still fantastic !
And it’s great to know that he’s also a great person and friend

Lungs like wheelie bins, fair play to ya Johnny. This was the best track on the Grease album💯 bar none!!
I saw Johnny's video where he explained how to sing, and it involved breathing and singing through the stomach instead of the diaphragm!
Johnny must have all the ladies in love with him . He’s so beautiful. ❤️
Johnny had girls all over him! I even read an article saying he sang the pants off them!
Great!
Johnny's voice:
ALWAYS WONDERFUL!!!
