That was a tenor Saxaphone in that solo. There are an unlimited supply of 1950s Doo-wop groups, and its absolutely beautiful music to Dance, and listen to.
I am early Gen X. '67, and thanks to being the youngest of three children by several years and having parents that witnessed the birth of Rock and Roll as teenagers themselves, I have in a way lived through the music of the 50s, 60s. 70s, and 80s through them and my own music journey! I am so glad I did too!!
Always reminds me of the Summers at the swimming pool. This was the most played song over the speakers. I think it was about 1955. Where I lived we got everything a year or so later than everyone else. I remember when I was about 9 the family went to New York to seem my dad's older sister. My dad worked there in the early 30s after his dad died. At Time Square the biggest and most advertised movie at the time was, "War of the Worlds." Where I lived we didn't get the film until almost 2 years later. Even the music was a bit late to get to us --- even with American Bandstand. It's called Doo-Wop. Tattoo it on the inside of your eyelids. You'll remember it for sure then. BTW, the instrument is a sax. 😶🌫
The called them "sock hops" because the high schools held dances in the gym and you had to take off your street shoes to protect the basketball floor. That's why you danced in your socks. And that's King Curtis on the tenor sax.
Even doo-wop started somewhere. I'd recommend you check out Louis Jordan and the Tympani Five to see it's origins in jazz. I think you'll love Louis Jordan, as you've been enjoying Cab Calloway and his band 😊
I'm mostly heard the white version but yeah this is fantastic. It's the music of my parents generation. I can't imagine the way they danced to this stuff. It freaks me out to think about but now that I'm older I think it might have been pretty cool.
There is so much great 50's music. Maybe you could do a 50's friday once a month and highlight like 10 songs from that era. Each time. That music from that time was so up lifting. I graduated in 79. All throughout the early seventies 50's music was still mainstream. Along with the 70's new music just coming out. And along with the 60's music as well. It was truly the best of times to grow up in with all of that music coming across the mainstream radio stations. In 77 I went to a 50's concert that was touring the country. 1 of the main groups was Nah Nah Sha. It was awesome.
This is, of course, the best and original version of "Sh-Boom". As in most cases in the 30's, 40's, and 50's with music (such as swing, jazz, and R&B/R&R), black people invented it and white people, for the most part, made the most money. The Crew Cuts, who made a living off of re-recording R&B songs by black groups, recorded this song after The Chords and it became number one on the Billboard charts for them. However, The Chords version was the first Do-Wop song to make the top ten on the Billboard charts...and that is a saxophone that plays during the instrumental break.
Absolutely doo wop from the early years of Atlantic records, check out the Clovers i got my eyes on you and clyde mcphatter with the drifters Bip Bam.. Some of the greatest sounds. Great reaction and yes of course it was the chords. Love from England.❤
Welcome to the 50s, Britt....hope you stick around awhile. Since you liked, Sh Boom, you will the Marcell's "Blue Moon" or the Platters "Only You," "The Great Pretender" or "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." Oh, and some Sam Cooke, please ("Wonderful World," "Another Saturday Night" or "You Send Me").
This is Doo Wop. At this time, white groups often covered Black music because the two required separate radio stations (!). Not only did a group called "The Crew Cuts" record the white version of this song, but Stan Freberg recorded a comic version lampooning the sounds of this newfangled Doo Wop music. It's definitely worth a listen!
I don’t think that’s actually The Coasters. It may be The Chords just mislabeled by the TH-cam posting folks. Kind of like how many “crooner” songs mis-attributed to Sinatra on here.
DAVINA MICHELLE "WHAT ABOUT US" Davina Michelle has the best voice that I have ever heard.. She is just on a whole other level.. Just ridiculous.... PINK reacted to this and said that "now she knows how it's supposed to sound" and that "it was better than she could ever sound"
As many others have commented, this is not The Coasters. Unlike the other comments I'll give you a few titles of real songs by them you may like to try. "Searchin' '', "Smokey Joe's Cafe" (actually by The Robins who were an earlier group consisting of most of The Coasters), "Little Egypt", "Yakety Yak" and "Poison Ivy" which was probably their biggest hit.
If you want to see an updated live performance of this song, the following is from The Voice Australia th-cam.com/video/9cgkkSArTMc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L6aZrPsXgxCgH9c2
You got it with "Doo Wop!" There are a lot of groups that sang this style. Little Richard and Chuck Berry to name a couple. Enjoy! You liked the sexy sax solo?
Now, that's what you call...SH BOOM. Boom was the slang word back then but the Cords, who sung this song, made it sound like a bomb, by adding the SH to the Boom. SH BOOM.
I dont care who you are, if you go to a Doo-Wop or Rock-A-Billy revival, youl have the best time. Ive had dyed in the wool metal fanatics have a ball at these shows. Great date night show for the better half as well.
She's so pretty pretty baby. I could party somewhat's her. We'd have a good time Tom alright, are you better if I love to call him? So we'd still have a good time search the phone girl😊
The joy and happiness that is on your face says so much! And that ssounds lke a sax. You will love their song Down In Mexico! You will hear a new side of the Coasters.
I think it is doo-wop, but the flavor to me, is jazz. It really swings! The horn sounded like saxophone to me. Speaking of swing, you should try some Brubeck! The classic is Take Five, but even better is the Carnegie Hall concert version of Blue Rondo a la Turk. It starts out very classically on the piano and then turns into a smokey blues. Background: all the guys had the flu and Joe Morello, the great jazz drummer, told Brubeck to be careful about what tempo he set because once he got there he was staying there. Paul Desmond is on alto sax, and Eugene Wright is on the upright bass. Fun fact: This concert was in 1963. Eugene Wright was a Black man, and this was in the early stages of the Civil Rights movement. Brubeck played all over, and in foreign countries. If a club was segregated they didn't play there. There was a saying that when (Secretary of State) John Foster Dulles messed up relations with a foreign country, they sent in the Brubeck Quartet to fix the damage. That wasn't completely untrue! Brubeck heard the intro part of this song as street music in Hungary. We lost him in 2012, age 91. He had been married to his wife for 70 years! Just a beautiful human being!
I'm going to put you onto another Do-Wop song that 'll definitely impress you. Check out Billy Joel's "The Longest Time" from his "An Innocent Man" album. The instrument you were asking about was a saxophone.
Not sure if you have listened to anything from the group Bread - “If” & “ Everything I Own “ & “ It Don’t Matter To Me “ & “ I Want To Make It with You “ any one of these songs would be a great choice to let you sample this band but especially the lead vocalist amazing
Britt, listen to STAN FREBERG's parody of "Sha-boom". Attempting to satirize an entire genre, he actually made a pretty good "cover"! Same with "Great Pretender" & "Heart break Hotel",,,,,,,,
Everyone loves "Doo-wop." It is the signature of 1950s Rock& Roll. Greatest sound ever. Them was the days.
Not The Coasters. This is THE CHORDS.
That's what I was thinking. thanks for confirming that.
well done !!
My mom loved this song. I got a few odd looks when I had it played at the end of her funeral service but I think my mom was smiling.
Fuck them, if you think your mom was smiling that's what matters.
The Drifters- Under The Boardwalk is very good
That was a tenor Saxaphone in that solo. There are an unlimited supply of 1950s Doo-wop groups, and its absolutely beautiful music to Dance, and listen to.
The chords, released on the cat label
This is The Chords version which was only played on black stations. The white stations would play the cover by The Crew Cuts.
I'd recommend "Earth Angel" by The Penguins
Well Done....Back to the Future....The Dance Party
This is why I say my life has been good to me. I've lived though the 50s 60s, 70s and 80s the four greatest decades in music.
Me too😂
I am early Gen X. '67, and thanks to being the youngest of three children by several years and having parents that witnessed the birth of Rock and Roll as teenagers themselves, I have in a way lived through the music of the 50s, 60s. 70s, and 80s through them and my own music journey! I am so glad I did too!!
Same here
I knew this song by ShaNaNa (but this is the original). They did a cover of this. So I hum it from time to time.
Yes, doo-wop and the group is The Cords, dear. Love your videos, keep 'em coming.
There is some amazing music from the 50s!!
Always reminds me of the Summers at the swimming pool. This was the most played song over the speakers. I think it was about 1955.

It's called Doo-Wop. Tattoo it on the inside of your eyelids. You'll remember it for sure then. BTW, the instrument is a sax. 😶🌫
My biggest connection with this song is it is played heavily in the movie Clue
The talent just pours out joyfully, it is doo wop, and it’s the Chords🎶🎶🎶
The called them "sock hops" because the high schools held dances in the gym and you had to take off your street shoes to protect the basketball floor. That's why you danced in your socks. And that's King Curtis on the tenor sax.
This is my parent's music. I grew up hearing this in the house all the time...
Even doo-wop started somewhere. I'd recommend you check out Louis Jordan and the Tympani Five to see it's origins in jazz. I think you'll love Louis Jordan, as you've been enjoying Cab Calloway and his band 😊
So true, and Doo Wop harmonies influenced Sixties acts like the Temptations, Miracles, Supremes, Beach Boys, and even the Beatles.
Caldonia!..Caldonia!....What makes yo big head so hard!!!!
The Monotones Book of Love is a good one to check out. Also, Maurice & The Zodiacs Stay.
I'm mostly heard the white version but yeah this is fantastic. It's the music of my parents generation. I can't imagine the way they danced to this stuff. It freaks me out to think about but now that I'm older I think it might have been pretty cool.
Down In Mexico by The Coasters is smokin'..
It’s doo-wop style😊
Hey Brit if you’re interested in the Coasters you’ve got to do “ Charlie Brown”
Gene Chandler - The Duke of Earl
I’ll check it out!
@@brittreactsDuke of Earl by Gene Chandler is doo-wop at its best. Love your videos. Any more Angelina Jordan coming up?
As others have said, it's The Chords. But the picture is the Coasters.
Nothing like 50s doowop. Never get tired of it.
That's a Saxophone Dear!
I can't hear this without thinking of the movie Clue
Part of this song was in the Pixar movie "Cars"
Growing up as a kid my parents you to throw parties often. So I grew up in that era. 😊
This was my Mom's favorite song when it came out.
Seeing you, I remember what's like to hear it again.
Back then, we used to have to wait, every week for our show to be on the TV . And when it did...shhh.
There was Doo- Wop in the 40's too. You should listen to You Always Hurt the One You Love by Spike Jones and His City Slickers.
Spike Jones was a genre all by himself, lol. Ever hear his version of "Happy New Year"? Great!
As a swing dancer, I love to dance to this song.
I Like this song with The Crew Cuts.
From a time when music was beautiful and made you happy.
Sam "The Man" Taylor on tenor sax. Playing with The Chords.
I hear this song and always think of the movie Road House
considered to be the first rock and roll song
This song was in the soundtrack of the movie cars the first one 🎉🎉
Featured in the movies Roadhouse and Cars as well as others, but those are the only ones I can think of that I've seen.
This was in the movie Cars
The horn you were asking about is a Baritone Sax! :)
This era was before mine, but dusty is right, doo wop was so energetic and great. Love it.
Of Topic 🤔
American Graffiti is a Movie for you ...
Enjoy your Adventures ✌️🤠❤️

The movie Cars put me on this song (yes, it's called Doo Wop)
Now you got real Doo Wop music ..love it. You have opened a pan Dora's box of music.
BACK WHEN ROCK & ROLL BEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this song always makes me think of the movie Roadhouse
Play this for your baby🎶🎶🎶

I don’t think that’s actually The Coasters. It may be The Chords just mislabeled by the TH-cam posting folks. Kind of like how many “crooner” songs mis-attributed to Sinatra on here.
This is my mom and dad's music. Good stuff 👍
The instrument was a saxophone.
THE COASTERS (CHARLIE BROWN)
You might like 'The Manhattan Transfer', the vocalese is similar.
DAVINA MICHELLE
"WHAT ABOUT US"
Davina Michelle has the best voice that I have ever heard.. She is just on a whole other level.. Just ridiculous.... PINK reacted to this and said that "now she knows how it's supposed to sound" and that "it was better than she could ever sound"

I’ll check it out!
Fasten your seatbelt. lol

The Coasters are definitely worth checking out
A recommendation for you is "The Fleetwoods" Come Softly to Me, and Mr. Blue.
this is the Coasters
"In the Still of the Night"
❤
Now, that's what you call...SH BOOM. Boom was the slang word back then but the Cords, who sung this song, made it sound like a bomb, by adding the SH to the Boom. SH BOOM.

Added!
I'm going to put you onto another Do-Wop song that 'll definitely impress you. Check out Billy Joel's "The Longest Time" from his "An Innocent Man" album. The instrument you were asking about was a saxophone.
Yes classic saxophone break that was used in many pop songs of that era. Do-Wop era.
If you like this, you should watch the movie "Cars"
If you haven't already, you should spend some time with Rod Stewart starting with your in my heart.i really think that he will bring you much joy
Not sure if you have listened to anything from the group Bread - “If” & “ Everything I Own “ & “ It Don’t Matter To Me “ & “ I Want To Make It with You “ any one of these songs would be a great choice to let you sample this band but especially the lead vocalist amazing
