I kid you not my grandma grew up with Kenny, and he came to visit my house today! He played this song for us in the dining room, it was awesome. Edited- Hey guys, unfortunately my grandma passed a few months ago. She had been staying at our house slowly weakening from pancreatic cancer. Remember Naomi Perlman
Love Kenny Vance. Love doo wop music. Good and Wonderful days and Music. I cry when I hear all the doo wop songs. Kenny is one of my favorites. Best music ever... ❤ you
@@jackwilliams5474 real talent and no auto tune when artists could actually sing and you can easily understand the lyrics and no dancing naked girls... Kenny Vance and the Planatones are a real band not like today where they have "groups" SMH
It's sad to hear what people consider good music today when you hear what beautiful music once was. There are still great bands that embrace the sounds that paved the way to modern music. But this music isn't what sells. Sexy money and material gains is what sells, while you literally have to search out real music in obscure places online or in whas left of local music scenes. As a musician it hurts my soul to put on the radio these days.
@@Jamiir215 I so agree ,it’s sad it’s not music it’s pathetic reproduce garbage same thing over and over .I don’t know how people can listen to it and actually think it’s good .Holy carp! I’m great full I grew up when I did .I’ve seen so many great bands .Much better days in practically every way . I can’t believe the prices they pay for a concerts and sleaze . Where do these kids get that kind of money ( mommy & daddy) I would never have asked my parents for money for a concert.
Went to oldies shows all the time and watched him do this live many times..chill and can make you cry when it's done live...I am 58 now and love this music.
I've seen Kenny Vance and the Planatones several times at Oldies Concerts Always grest performance as well as all the other groups on the stage those times You could just about feel you were back in 50s/ 60s Oh if only we could
Best music hands down...im from queens and I grew up with this music, my uncle being one of the former members of randy and the rainbows....just singing on the street corner.
My favorite Doo Wop song!! "Looking for an echo!" Never get tired of hearing it. Great NY song. It should get more air time. Kenny, you re still appreciated.
There are days when I wish I could roll back the clock & take all the sadness away , but I have a feeling that if I did the joy would be gone as well ! Take Care Friend 🎉
Commented before still listening To this Song at least once a day everyday with out fail first time I heard it was in Long Branch New Jersey the year not sure maybe 2009 Also loved Jay and the Americans
@@genebigs1749 I was born in 1949 in Central PA. I was and still am a lover of doowop music. I remember falling asleep laying in bed listening to this sound on my little transistor radio that I got for my 11th birthday in 1960.
The best times of my life. The music was amazing! The cars, chrome with class and style. Drag racing almost every night. Listening to the Wolfman on our AM radio, playing our 45 records. We had it all, drive in movies, no traffic, no emission bullshit and the cops didn't bust our chops. We had real freedom back then. I feel so sorry for the younger generations.They don't know what true happiness is. Rock on Kenny, Doo Wop forever. What a hell of a performance. From hy hometown, Brooklyn, Go, Brooklyn, Go!
WILLIAM EDWARDS couldn’t agree more with you, I am 70 now and sure do miss those times, the 60’s were great yet hard JFK, MLK, RFK, Civil Rights, Vietnam but I would go back to 50s & 60’s in a minute all the great things you mentioned the muscle car era, Wolfman, Cousin Brucie , Doo Wop, all the music and yea the Drive Inns what a time or as they say oh what a time!!
I love Kenny Vance. My grandsons and I sing along with him when he sings"Looking for an echo". They think he is so cool, which he is. Hoping he still does concerts. Saw him twice at Ocean Grove. Absolutely the best !!
This is dedicated to Mike B, from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Mike was my life long friend ... and he just past a few weeks ago. You will be in my mind, and heart, forever, my friend. All the concerts we saw together, all the shows and all those insane adventures. Rest In Peace! You Brother!
WHAT A GREAT SONG , A GREAT VOICE, A GREAT GROUP, A FANTASTIG GUITARRIST AND A WONDERFUL SHOW , LIVE !!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING MY FRIEND KENNY !!!!!!!
Hi my dear darling Katherine. You had written that you were 74 years old, but at this age I estimate you to be much younger. My estimate of your age is approximately 64 years old and NOT OLDER!!! I am very happy that I can communicate with you from time to time. It does me good, because despite many setbacks I am a single man. Ideally, I would like to meet a very sweet and reliable woman who can mutually support each other, and so on. Lots of love and a big hug from me,,,, you Walter 😍🤩😎💝💖💝👌👌👌
At Erasmus Hall High School, we used to harmonize Me and Benny and Aaron and two Italian guys We were singing oldies, but they were newies then And today when I play my old 45's, I remember when We'd practice in a subway, in a lobby or a hall Crowded in a doorway, singing doo wops to the wall And if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom, and nobody could get in 'Cause we were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound A place to be in harmony A place we almost found And the girls would gather 'round us, and our heads would really swell We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones, and the Dells And when we sang "Sincerely, " we really sang it high Even though it was falsetto, we almost reached the sky We've sung a lot of changes since 1955 And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonize Now we've turned into oldies, but we were newies then And today when I play my old 45's, I remember when We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound A place to be in harmony A place we almost found
Kenny - you met my father at one time,his name was Danny Cap and boy did he love you. He was born 1951, diagnosed with cancer in 94 when I was 1 year old and we lost him January 2021. I cherished and envied him so much, the love in this song is much similar to love my father showed in life. You were with him in his final days and one of the last things my father said to me was “Looking for an Angel”. Thank you for this song. In a dark time it brought light . I enjoyed it many times with my father and still enjoy it now thinking of him every time! Thank you
This music even makes my arthritis feel better. ARE YOU FEELING IT? MY VISION IS BLURRED BUT MY ABILITY TO HEAR THIS MUSIC IS A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.
"me, and Benny and Ira and 2 Uh-talian guys..." = lyric heaven!!! He and Frenchie have worked together for ever... (and that's a long time) A lotta changes since 1955 - to me, the best year!
This is one of the best doo-wop songs about 25 years ago a friend of mine hired Kenny Vance to play at the brownstone in Paterson New Jersey.. I don’t know that Kenny Vance would remember that, but he has he is still today. Amazing.❤️
What a performance! Listening to your recordings always brings me to tears. The bittersweet feelings of nostalgia just take over and I'm instantly transported back to those golden years.
This is my dads favorite song and if it wasn’t for him introducing me to this genre i wouldn’t listen to anything. Im turning 35 in march. Happy New Year everyone
I've had the pleasure of being at one of Kenny's show. What a great artist of Donald Wop music. Doo Wop you will always live on in the millions of fans you have.
The good old days may be gone but not forgotten 🎶

There aint no better music than Doowop !!
Great stuff! Listening to this fabulous music I’m back in high school again-65 years ago! It never gets old!
This is what real music is. We need more of it in this world now
Saw the planotones in concert twenty seven times. No others come close to their talent in doo wop.
@@sophiemorrison9820ll❤
Hard to believe he can still hit those notes after all these years. My goodness!!
Yes hard to believe and I'm very grateful he can!
Being a 69 year old widower I lived this music as a young boy/man and this brought tears to my eyes. A homage to a great era and some wonderful music
Me too David, love them, I am 79 and would love to dance to this again.
Boo Hoo....
Well said
The best music ever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
I'm 89. 50's and 60's songs were popular in my "glory" years. I can bring back those years anytime I want listening to TH-cam selections.
I wish I could go back to those days
My wife and I went on an oldies cruise just because Kenny Vance and his group was performing on this ship. It was great.
Listening to this song in March '20 and I wish I was back in the 50's and try to forget the maddening Covid 19 Virus that is killing so many.
Wouldn't it be priceless if we could go back. I'm tired of the Covid, Masks, So call protesting the whole 9 yards of 2020😢
You and me both
I've seen Kenny Vance and the Planatones several times at Oldies Concerts Always grest performance as well as all the other groups on the stage those times You could just about feel you were back in 50s/ 60s Oh if only we could
Best music hands down...im from queens and I grew up with this music, my uncle being one of the former members of randy and the rainbows....just singing on the street corner.
Amazing that so many millions bought into this Plannedemic MASKquerade.
"Me and Benny and Aaron and two Italian guys." One of the greatest lyrics ever written. This song is a complete history of early vocal groups.
Love this
Me, Benny and Ira.
My favorite Doo Wop song!! "Looking for an echo!" Never get tired of hearing it. Great NY song. It should get more air time. Kenny, you re still appreciated.
I'm 71. I'm with you
It’s my enjoyment,my love for this music keeps me going
This keeps me remembering those days gone by.❤❤❤
There are days when I wish I could roll back the clock & take all the sadness away , but I have a feeling that if I did the joy would be gone as well ! Take Care Friend 🎉

Thank you for keeping the Doo Wop Sound alive.
At Erasmus Hall High School, we used to harmonize
Me and Benny and Aaron and two Italian guys
We were singing oldies, but they were newies then
And today when I play my old 45's, I remember when
We'd practice in a subway, in a lobby or a hall
Crowded in a doorway, singing doo wops to the wall
And if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing
We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom, and nobody could get in
'Cause we were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony
A place we almost found
And the girls would gather 'round us, and our heads would really swell
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones, and the Dells
And when we sang "Sincerely, " we really sang it high
Even though it was falsetto, we almost reached the sky
We've sung a lot of changes since 1955
And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonize
Now we've turned into oldies, but we were newies then
And today when I play my old 45's, I remember when
We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony
A place we almost found
The times they were so much better, because so were we!

Now there is a singer. As good as anyone. This was dynamic. Yeeeehhhaaawwww!
Know Kenny and Frenchy very well. My mother, son, and I saw them many times. My son has song with Kenny and Johnny Maestro.
This brings back so many happy memories of my youth. Love it !!!
Doo wop had so much soul. Innocent, pure, sincere.
Saw you perform at Lehman College years ago and loved your music. My hubby passed in 7 months ago and seeing this brought back precious memories!
That SOUND GREAT..
"me, and Benny and Ira and 2 Uh-talian guys..." = lyric heaven!!!
He and Frenchie have worked together for ever... (and that's a long time)

The Moonglows, The Harptones and The Dells! The '50s were the greatest for doo wop!
Brings chills when I listen to this song. Fantastic 👏👏👏👏❤️

I just wish I could find that echo ❤❤
Beautiful memories ! Beautiful harmonies ! Beautiful melodies !
Wow so cool,looking for an echo great story
Kenny is the epitome of cool. What a smooth singer/performer and group leader!
This should be the National anthem for all Doo Wop
I think Earth Angel has that spot.
I think the song should be those oldies but goodies by Little Caesar and the Romans
This is one of the best doo-wop songs about 25 years ago a friend of mine hired Kenny Vance to play at the brownstone in Paterson New Jersey.. I don’t know that Kenny Vance would remember that, but he has he is still today. Amazing.❤️

This just gives me chills! His voice is unreal!
The best doo wop of all time.
Doo wop music is way before my time. I was born in 1983, but I love this music so much.
Love the song 🎵 I am a product of doowop remember the stair case harmony street corner harmony those were the days ❤❤
When I die I hope that Heaven is actually living in the 50's again.
Oh yeah I'm with you on that!

I can totally relate to that.
i hear that if you get there....it will be any era you want it to be..NICE!!
