My brother was in high school when this came out. I can recall him playing this on our house phonograph. Brings a smile to my heart. RIP my brother Joe.
Interestingly, this DooWop Classic was first recorded in 1955 and released on the small Connecticut label Standod records but was not a hit until it was sold to Ember records the following year. Furthermore, it was not even the "A" side - It was the flip to "The Jones Girl"! Also, I couldn't help but notice that in the movie clip you're watching there are five voices heard but only Four Satins to be seen. LOL! BTW, you are right, there is a movie of the same name, it starred Meryl Streep and Roy Scheider. Another Good Job Brotha D.
If you haven't seen American Graffiti, you really need to catch it, such a great 70s movie depicting the culture enveloping the late 50s to early 60s in the US. And one of the best soundtracks of any film, with songs like this one, and the exuberant Wolfman Jack playing himself as the mysterious and fun-loving DJ, playing those songs for all the teens cruising in their stylish classic cars late into the night, searching for romance and excitement.
@@kentclark6420 Peace Kent.....there are so many 70's movies I've heard about but have not seen.....I'm gonna add that to the list ...Thank you. And Thanx for watching
It IS Doo-Wop. Every street corner group in existence tried their hand at this song, at one time or another. Fred Parris was on guard duty, while in the service, and he has said that night was so beautiful and...well.....still, that he was inspired to write this song. It was recorded live in the basement of St. Bernadette Catholic Church in New Haven. In 2017, Mr. Parris went back to that same church to re-record this classic. Since then, unfortunately, Mr. Parris has passed...early in 2022, I believe.
Smoking was very fashionable back then. Surprisingly, even doctors smoked. Because so many people smoked, life expectancy was not very long. So many people died of heart attacks in their 40s and 50s because of so many smokers or in the case of John Wayne who smoked five packs of cigarettes a day, he had lung cancer which could have been attributed to his smoking or his exposure to nuclear radiation while filming a movie, the conqueror, in the Utah desert.
No No No! Not Doo Wop R&B Yesterday people were posting when was the golden age of R&B was it the 90s/60s/70s It was none of those years It was the late 1940s/1950s And please don't call this genre of music Doo Wop The term Doo Wop is a generic term for the music of the 1950s. It first was coined sometime in the late 60s early 70s The blues is called the blues Jazz is jazz Rock is Rock Soul is soul And so on All called by their correct genre Not once will you ever hear a master of ceremonies or DJ from that time 1950s saying Now here is ( insert any group or artists from 1950) now singing the #1 Doo Wop song in the country Even a lot of the artist that recorded during this decade don't like the term Doo Wop ✌️
The term "doo-wop" comes from the background sounds made by vocal groups, such as "doo-wop-doo-wop", that provided harmony for the lead singer. The term was not used until the early 1960s, but the sounds were used in songs as early as 1945", such as "Just A Sittin' And A Rockin'" by The Delta Rhythm Boys who recorded this song in 1945, featuring the "doo doo doo doo-wop" nonsense syllables in the backing vocals. Personally, I don't think it's offensive as even certain jazz artists don't like you labeling their music jazz, but what they are most appreciative of is you buying and appreciating their art in whatever form it takes!
@@ujimajame4601 yes I know that the term comes from the background singers .my problem is it isn't Doo Wop it's R&B call it by it's proper genre. I feel That the singer, song writers, & producers deserve the same respect. Doo Wop is a generic term that describes most of the music from the 1950s a term which was made popular by a local DJ out of San Francisco in the late 60s I can't remember his name✌️

Golden age of R&B. Beautiful melodies. Heard my older cousins singing along. Catching the wave with Bro D from QB!!
Straight up classic! Doo Wop at its finest!
Yes ma'am!!
I agree this is a super-classic!
It looks like their performance was part of a movie
Classic Doo Wop
This song was featured in at least six hit movies, including "The Irishman" (2019)
Yes this is jam 👍🏽
as simple as it is...it's still a classic...

Love to hear it..thank you as always..
You may have heard this by the group Boyz II Men in "The Jacksons: An American Dream" or any number of movies!
I don't know what genre of music this is, but I have always loved this song. I love a song, or I don't. Maybe I am lazy. :)
Ms. Sharon lol you crazy lol
