I remember this song very well. I was 10 years old and me and some of my friends would stand on the corner near New Utrecht High School and just listen to these guys sing never knowing that it would be a big hit. They were the nicest guys. This is when I fell in love with rock and roll music. Forgot all about that song and then my wife and i just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and I always loved playing this song when we were dating along with I Love how you Love me by Bobby Vinton. This Vinton song was our wedding song. Never remembered the title of the song but knew most of the words . Searched Blanche and bingo it came up. Those guys were great and that era was the best this country ever had. So glad I found Blanche .
@@tomgrochowski7765 oh wow I loved listening to these guys and I just loved this song. I surprised my wife with a similar video of this song just changing to our names. They guys were awesome back in the days . You must be so proud . My friends and I tried to imitate them but they were too good . Is your dad still alive . I use to sing this song everyday back then and when I found it here on You tube I was so excited .Now I play it all the time and it brings me back to that day at New Utrecht High . Great bunch of guys . Thank you for this info
My older brother John brought this record home....we played it and it was the first "doo-wop:" record I ever heard...still remember that moment! Say, what was on the flip side???Anyone know???
I remember like it was yesterday at moms, where we went to get the best meatball sandwich around, across from n.u. high school in Brooklyn N.Y. while jo jo the three friends practice this song to record............
Does anyone know whether or not JOE VILLA, lead singer of The Three Friends, is still alive as of March 2018. If so, is he still performing? I've recently seen a couple of shows advertised which listed "Joe Villa of the Three Friends and The Royal" teens on the poster, however several people on Facebook told me that they know for a fact that he passed away several years ago. I'm wondering if there could be an imposter on the scene. There is actually very little current info about Joe Villa on the internet, and the recent photo I saw of (supposedly) Joe Villa really didn't look much like him. Although it's been a number of years since I last saw him, and in the photo the guy had sunglasses, a big beard, and a mustache, so I honestly couldn't tell. If anyone has any recent info, please share!
THE VIDEO MY THREE FRIENDS. TITLE A BOY NAME BILLY AND A GIRL NAME BLANCHE IS A VERY NICE MUSIC TUNE. STANFORD&BLANCHE🤵🏻👰🏻 NORCES(BILLIE JOE, DONALD OSMOND) THEY USE TO CALL ELIVS PRESLEY (HIS NICKNAME WAS BILLY) ANY WAY, THEY WHERE ALL FROM RUSSIAN, AND ALL WHITE MEN WHITE LONG HAIR AND VERY YOUNG. WHITE, THEY WHERE WELL BUILT. BLANCHE MEANS WHITE STANFORD&BLANCHE,MEANS,WHITE,RUSSIAN,WHITE.🤵🏻👰🏻 (DON'T MESSY WITH BILL LEAVE MY BILLY ALONG)THE KING OF ROME. 🤵🏻👰🏻
Billy may have been from a family who disapproved of Blanche. Or if Billy was from poor family and she from well off family. At times these type conflicts came into play.
My name is Blanche - it's so rare to find a song with my name in it!
I love it! Blanches of the world unite! xxx
My name is also Blanche!
My Dad had this song on a 78 rpm vinyl record!
One of the most beautiful doo-wop songs I ever heard. This is why hearing the name Blanche conjures the image of a lovely teenage girl in my mind.

RIP Frank Stropoli
BY BLANCHE, THEY HAD THEIR MACHINE GUNS ,REALLY AND THEIR DRIVERS REALLY. (THE THREE SINGING ME AND BLANCHE IN THE VIDEO) THEY ARE IN THE SENDKENT.
interesting group history. this posted version sounds leagues better than the one that has a the picture of the 45,
The only thing wrong with this song is that it ends.
put it on permanent repeat cycle. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I always though they were from Red Hook? I attended jr Hs with Vic Donna and HS with Jimmy Gallagher.
I remember like it was yesterday at moms, where we went to get the best meatball sandwich around, across from n.u. high school in Brooklyn N.Y. while jo jo the three friends practice this song to record............
+Joev224 I'm a graduate class of "64"
Yessssss NUHS💕 those were the days.
1965
BY BLANCHE, WE WERE BOTH VRGINS BEFORE MARRIED.

my Blanche was 'Nancy''
I found this for Sharon Posner-Goldberg.....
Billy may have been from a family who disapproved of Blanche.
Or if Billy was from poor family and she from well off family. At

Heartbeats? Wrong group here> Misnamed.
doowoplover534 It's the right song/group.
I guess you didn't read the whole bio.
