    These bots in this comment section need to quit harassing you man. 😒
    Anyway, it’s great to hear you have a positive reaction to this song, cause I love it. My mom? Not so much. She doesn’t like the “Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of earl” part. Eh, to each their own lol. It’s pretty silly, but a great kind of silly. The kind of silly that will bring a smile to your face, and brighten up your day. It’s a very happy song, which is part of why I love it so much. And like you said, Gene Chandler has an incredible voice.
    I’ve also seen others give you other ideas for reactions? Well whenever you get to those requests I have 3 songs that did not hit #1 that I’d love to see your reaction to:
    Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (Crosby, Stills, & Nash, who are one of my favorite bands)
    Reelin’ In the Years (Steely Dan)
    Signs (Five Man Electrical Band)
    Again, I’d love to know what you think of those songs! They’re all personal favorites of mine!

    The King of doo wop, and the Duke of Earl.

    Mega hit in Chicago both WLS pop and Herb Kent r and b charts. Pride of Chicago's southside Englewood area. Classic soul doo wop soul recorded with the Dukays and probably done tongue in cheek as that style by 1962 was fading away in the black community. Unsurpassed singer especially the falsetto part in this song. Most covers of this doo wop classic trivialize or make a parody of it like Sha Na Na. He was known mostly as a soul singer performer in the sixties. Duke of Earl was the anthem of the white south side greaser community.

    "Groovy Situation" is another good song by him.
