I graduated HS in 1956 and we played this song all the time. I saw the Penguins in concert in New Orleans back then along with few other groups. This was one of the songs played at our Prom. Really great slow dancing music where couples actually used to dance.
This song was in the part of the movie when Michael J Fox was slowly disappearing, while he was on stage. Immediately following this song, they asked Marty to do a song that really cooks and he said this next song is an oldie, where he came from, and then launches into Johnny B Goode.
This song always was always listed among the top hits back in the early days of rock and roll. Another was "In the Still of the Night" by the Five Satins.
7th grade, 12 years old… this was number one for a very long time. We had sock hops, at lunch you could go to the boys gym for a nickel and watch the big kids dance. The sock hop was a big deal, they called it that because the gym floor was brand new and they wanted to keep it that way. . just watch the big kids slow dance to this… it was simple pleasures.
This is my mom and dad's song. They did what every teenager before them and after them have done - and lived with the aftermath. Forever and ever. Amen.
I think the song best known from Back To The Future is "The Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis And The News. They play that in the beginning of the movie where Marty realizes he's late for school and is skateboarding behind a jeep to get to school as fast as possible.
Earth Angel was written by Jesse Belvin and recorded in a garage by the Penguins. Jesse had a hit on his own titled Good Night My Love which is well worth hearing.
New Edition covered it in the 1980s, my family even had the cd of it with other 1950s song. There version was even used as a soundtrack for the 1986 film The Karate Kid part 2.
Phil Collins. I wasn't born when this came out but I like it. Songs from this era remind me of my mom because she would be listening to these songs on Saturday morning when she ironed clothes. Back then there were no steam irons so she would sprinkle water on the clothes to get the tough wrinkles out, man that brought back an old memory. If you like this song listen to Who Wrote The Book Of Love by The Monotones.
I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been addicted ever since. I have watched hundreds of your reaction videos, sometimes staying up past 1 in the morning because I can't stop clicking on the next video! You have introduced me to much great new music that I would otherwise never of heard of, but my favorites are Oldies like this one. (Maybe because I am an Old Fart!). I think you need to go further back, although I suppose it's hard to find video the further back you go. Please consider playing some Fats Waller (1904-1943), such as "Who's honey are you," "I ain't got nobody," or "Louisiana Fairy Tale." Also you are so far missing out on some of the greatest rock artists of the 1960s, such as The Kinks, Bob Dylan, later Beach Boys (How about Good Vibrations?) and Brian Wilson's solo work (anything off the Orange Crate Art album!) And if you really want to hear the best of 20th Century music try some Captain Beefheart! Look for some live videos of his Magic Band performing "Click Clack," "When Big Joan sets up," or "I'm going to booglarize you Baby." Thanks for the entertainment!
Neil Sadaka sang his version in 1984, I was in Year 6 (11 years old) here in Australia, but I actual remember it in Karate Kid 2, which came out in 1986, the year I started high school, lol
This was one of the first R&B songs to cross over to the white charts. It was covered by the Crew-Cuts because white DJs liked to play white singers instead of black singers, but the Penguins' version was more popular.
Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five - A Man's Best Friend is a Bed Aint Nobody Here But Us Chickens - Louis Jordan & his Tympany Five (Live video 1974) LOUIS JORDAN - IS YOU IS OR IS YOU AIN'T MY BABY
Here you go Ty & everyone. Where this comes from in Back To The Future. The MOST pivotal scene in the movie actually. "Earth Angel & Johnny B. Goode" by Marty Mcfly, Back To The Future 1985/1955 th-cam.com/video/2Sm8mruGq7s/w-d-xo.html (A small bit of dialog between Marty and the band regarding how to play Johnny B. Goode was omitted) "It's a Blues riff in B, watch me for the changes, and try and keep up". (Something like that...from my memory.)
If you liked 'Back to the Future', you should try 'American Graffiti'. It came out in 1973 and starred Ron Howard, This movie had great music and was the precursor to the TV show' Happy Days'. Promise, you will love it.
hahah yeah man it's perfect for like a 50s diner or a prom, in fact it was in the prom scene in BTF just like Johnny B. Goode. I remember a substitute teacher in music class mentioning this song once and saying its from Back to the Future, and also the first time that I heard it was when I watched the movie when I was like 14. And yeah...that "remember" you sung has to be from "Do you remember the time" by Michael Jackson, hahaha.
Did you read the date on that record label? I was 3 years old when this came out, but the radio stations were still playing a lot in the 60's. Classics like this don't lose their popularity.
It is possible I am or might become a patron. If I do or did, I prefer to just be me and it is personal and it isn't for all to know. I appreciate goodness and I hope to see goodness shared and continued
There have been dozens of covers of this song, from Elvis to the Temptations to Death Cab for Cutie. New Edition has a great one though that was in Karate Kid II.
Agree in general, although in the 80's there still were some great songs but you had to look a little harder for them. They didn't permeate the air waves like in the 50's through 70's. But when the 90's came along, the music died completely!
Heres a complete recording of the scene with both songs. It's not as high resolution as the other one below, but it doesn't leave out the dialog between the two songs. "Earth Angel and Johnny B. Goode", Marty Mcfly, Back To The Future. (whole scene including between song dialog, unfortunately lower resolution) th-cam.com/video/ZvlXuCWIxGc/w-d-xo.html
Great music from a time when you had to had Talent to become famous.....Today, anyone like UPCHURCH can be a star with AUTO TUNES, DUBBING and Special Effects..... The Penguins were great and way before My Time, but talent is talent
Yes we had ice cre4am parlors then. Cherry coke. Egg cream. LO)VE this song always/ Most likely I was home and on my radio. Not a boom box, a zenith little radio :D
How about we change it up a little bit? Let's break out the slide for the guitar and react to 'The Road to Hell' by Chris Rea. The video to watch is a live video. It says Best Version. Would love to see you react to this. I really believe that you would enjoy it.
It was doo wop music mostly acapella very little instrumentation maybe a piano all the voices were the instruments it started out in the streets teenagers had no instruments and they use voices to take the place of instruments very creative
+thomas Rose I honestly haven't a clue what you are talking about. Are you sure you responded to the correct thread? This thread was about a line that MRM mentioned then said "what do you think I was talking about?"
I recommend three acts for you to review, PMJ's "Burn", "Have You Ever" by Matt Bloyd, Mario Jose and Vincint Cannady and PMJ MMMbop (Doo Wop Version).
This song was playing during the school dance in Back to the Future when Marty started playing the guitar with the band and watching his parents dance
Did his own singing, too.

Wow I wish I was in the old generation
There was a time in the 70s when the 50s became popular again. I love(d) this music. The purity of the voices and simplicity of the lyrics.
Sha-Na-Na did great job of bringing back doo-wop in the 70's.
Yes it did. I was around when it got popular in 70s.
Love this kind of music.
I like these older songs!
This is one of the best songs of old, that was ever recorded.
Duke of earl..
One of the first hit records from the earliest days of rock and roll.
Beautiful classic ballad from the 50's, probably one of my top 5 favorites from that era.
Give a listen to In The Still Of The Night by the Five Satins. Many people consider it the greatest doo woo song of all time.
The remake of Still of the Night by WHITESNAKE was much better! Okay... maybe it's not quite the remake you were thinking, but it's still better!!!
Sorry but there's nothing better than the original. The Five Satins all the way.
second only to Tears on my Pillow
I like that one and Ronnie Milsap's Lost In the Fifties Tonight too :)
That might be doo 'wop'.
This song was in the part of the movie when Michael J Fox was slowly disappearing, while he was on stage. Immediately following this song, they asked Marty to do a song that really cooks and he said this next song is an oldie, where he came from, and then launches into Johnny B Goode.

One of THE best oldies but goodies EVER!!!!

Expanding one's personal musical experience is a joyful thing.
I love the mix of music you try out. No boundaries!!!
Love this song!!! Use to hear it when I was young and still hear it today! This is still a classic!
This is my mom and dad's song. They did what every teenager before them and after them have done - and lived with the aftermath. Forever and ever. Amen.

One of my favorite slow dances when I was a teenager. Good memories
Smooth... these guys are so damned smooth... how can you not be entertained by this? DOO WOP baby! Brings back many, many memories...
New Edition covered it in the 1980s, my family even had the cd of it with other 1950s song. There version was even used as a soundtrack for the 1986 film The Karate Kid part 2.
A friend of mine learned this on guitar and played it and its was lovely

this was actually recorded in a garage in south central l.a. in 1954 ,cleve duncan on lead
One of my favorites since I was a kid way back when 👍🏻❤️‼️
Hey Ty! How about Dr. Hook "Sharing The Night Together"...tasty late 70s stuff.
Love the oldies but goodies!!!
Slightly before my time but grew up hearing it. Harmony? Check. Tone? Check. Good? Absolutely.
I was about 3 or 4 years old when I heard my mother listening to this song. I do remember hearing it in the movie Back to the Future.
Aaron Neville has a cover to it. With his voice it is GREAT
Wow this is an oldie but a goodie

I first heard it at 4 or 5 years old rolling down the road in Granddaddy's Studebaker woody pannel van / car / truck, whatever it was.

Not Applicable Some of the best movies ever.
Love this song, and yeah, been in a couple of movies
Oldie but a goodie! Hear this at car shows.
This is definitely doo wop. It came out in 1956 and was only one of the many doo wop artists of the time. I always think of doo wop as happy music.
If you liked 'Back to the Future', you should try 'American Graffiti'. It came out in 1973 and starred Ron Howard, This movie had great music and was the precursor to the TV show' Happy Days'. Promise, you will love it.
I remember this from the movie but I wasn’t even a blip on the radar when this came out. 🤣
hahah yeah man it's perfect for like a 50s diner or a prom, in fact it was in the prom scene in BTF just like Johnny B. Goode.

Have liked that sing for a long time.
There have been dozens of covers of this song, from Elvis to the Temptations to Death Cab for Cutie. New Edition has a great one though that was in Karate Kid II.
When you said I remember you meant in the air tonight by Phil Collins.
I thought he was referencing remember the times by MJ. now I'm conflicted 😂😂
This was covered by the group new edition, they did a great job.
This song was playing when Marty's parents kissed for the first time.
Superman 3 earth angel
We had wonderful music from the 50' thru the 70's after that music went down hill really fast
Agree in general, although in the 80's there still were some great songs but you had to look a little harder for them. They didn't permeate the air waves like in the 50's through 70's. But when the 90's came along, the music died completely!
Great old song love the doo wop sound of the late 50s early 60s
I love singing Earth Angel on Smule
These were the slow dance songs of my young teens.
This song was also in superman 3. Still a cool song
This will always remind me of Back to the Future
Bob, put in the title see if this works, Cockatoo running around yelling absolute nonsense (subtitles)
The answer to "do you remember" is by Earth Wind and Fire "September." I think I got it? haha Take care, Ty! ~Falco
This song has been covered many times. New Edition covered the song in 1985.
Earth wind and Fire- September
Heres a complete recording of the scene with both songs. It's not as high resolution as the other one below, but it doesn't leave out the dialog between the two songs.
"Earth Angel and Johnny B. Goode", Marty Mcfly, Back To The Future. (whole scene including between song dialog, unfortunately lower resolution)
th-cam.com/video/ZvlXuCWIxGc/w-d-xo.html
New Edition covered it for the Karate Kid 2 soundtrack.. they did a great job!
Recorded inn a one room church basement using ribbon microphones.
Do you remember the time? - Michael Jackson
Working my way back to you by The Spinners. Maybe the last doowop type song to be a big hit. Made it to #2 in 1979.
They did a great cover.
Great music from a time when you had to had Talent to become famous.....Today, anyone like UPCHURCH can be a star with AUTO TUNES, DUBBING and Special Effects..... The Penguins were great and way before My Time, but talent is talent
Michael J. Fox.... Back To The Future. Awesome song.
If you like this one try Silhouettes on the shade by the Rays.
I love this song reminds of my childhood. And I believe the song you were talking about was a Michael Jackson song Remember the times.
This song has been covered (redone) by so many artists from Elvis Presley to New Edition.
Elvis never sang this one.
Oh, yes he did - and here is a link to his version to prove it: th-cam.com/video/L1DlqrjiUmM/w-d-xo.html
Joshua Flaugher Okay, someone recorded it in his living room. I meant not professionally. Sorry.
Yes we had ice cre4am parlors then. Cherry coke. Egg cream.
LO)VE this song always/ Most likely I was home and on my radio. Not a boom box, a zenith little radio :D
1955... my mom was 4!
Earth Wing and Fire . September
My favorite "makeout" song of all-time ever since my first party at age 11.
Before my time, but you're making me feel old about Back to the Future
Ty go johnny go was Chuck Berry - Johnny Be Good
I don’t remember it in the movie either but I’d like you to review some doo wraps. Good parody is Frank Zappa- Go Cry On Somebody Elses Shoulder
It was part 1 at the school dance before he played Johnny B Goode
That was Do You Remember by the one and only Michael Jackson. ❤
I saw the movie, too, & I don't remember this song in it, either.
Earth wind and fire
Awesome. Have you heard Dire Straits - Tunnel of love.
Back to the Future
Remember the time we fell in love Michael Jackson but of course
You need to review "Buffalo Stance" by Neneh Cherry.
You were singing Michael Jackson, remember the time.
I would love to hear your reaction to Ronnie Millsap's "Lost in the '50s Tonight."
New edition has a earth angel (remix)? as well but this is the original?
New Edition remade it along with a whole bunch of Doo Wop songs in 1986's Under a Blue Moon album
Check out Poison Ivy by the Coasters. I think you'll get a real kick out of it
Searchin' and Charlie Brown are good ones by them too.
That was hiss parent's song.
How about we change it up a little bit? Let's break out the slide for the guitar and react to 'The Road to Hell' by Chris Rea. The video to watch is a live video. It says Best Version. Would love to see you react to this. I really believe that you would enjoy it.
I don't know about "If I remember" but the way you said it sounded like Earth, Wind and Fire's "September"
+Terry Huff
no reply from MRM either way, so you might be right.
It was doo wop music mostly acapella very little instrumentation maybe a piano all the voices were the instruments it started out in the streets teenagers had no instruments and they use voices to take the place of instruments very creative
+thomas Rose
I honestly haven't a clue what you are talking about. Are you sure you responded to the correct thread? This thread was about a line that MRM mentioned then said "what do you think I was talking about?"
You have to do the platters
Love this one!
Everybody Stroll.
I recommend three acts for you to review, PMJ's "Burn", "Have You Ever" by Matt Bloyd, Mario Jose and Vincint Cannady and PMJ MMMbop (Doo Wop Version).
You are one cool dude.
Earth Wind & Fire - September?
Im 24 and this is one if my favorite songs im an old soul . please react yo screamin jay hawkins i put a spell on you .
