Kathy Young and the Innocents "A Thousand Stars" Live -2002

Kathy Young and the original Innocents (Jim West, Darron Stankey and Al Candelaria) reunite to perform their 1960 hit, "A Thousand Stars" for a Doo-Wop Society of Southern California audience in Long Beach on March 23, 2002. Disclaimer- there is a very small cut in the video due to a flaw on the original old VHS source tape but it does not impact the performance. Darren Stankey died in 2005 at age 62.

So good, yet kind of bittersweet. Nothing on today's horizon even comes close to this music. Thank you, Kathy & Gents!

Thousand Stars was released around the time i was born in December 1960, So it holds a special place in my heart.

Did not know she was Robert Youngs daughter, wow ! Always liked this song.

[@nuwavedave]

Kathy's father was Robert Young - but, NOT Robert Young the actor. What complicates the story is, actor Robert Young also had a daughter named Kathy Young - and both Kathy Youngs were born in 1945. But, actor Robert Young's daughter, Kathy Young looked nothing like teen singer Kathy Young. Actor Robert Young's daughter Kathy grew up in Beverly Hills, while teen singer Kathy Young grew up in Long Beach. Bet that confuses everyone. A few fansites got it wrong, too.
