The year was 1959 - it was the height of doo-wop group pop music. Living in or around Pittsburgh PA we heard the beautiful voice of Jimmy Beaumont of The Skyliners singing "Since I Don't Have You". And there were great background harmonies and the soaring soprano climax featuring Janet Vogel. This song is seared into our memories and our hearts.
You're right. '59 was a crazy good year. I remember "Poison Ivy" by the Coasters came out that year, too. Acapella stuff was great. "Since I Don't Have You" reminds me of "Lovers Island" by the Blue Jays (1961) Or "The Closer You Are" by the Channels (1956). Street corner stuff. Sad that the music industry kept lookin' for the 'new song' and the 'new beat' barely gave air play after two songs sound alike. It's cool I can type them into TH-cam and hear them once again. Did you ever hear "Paradise" by the Temptations (1962)?
Janet Vogel replaced my mom, Barbara Volbrecht when the band split from the original members. On the single (45 rpm record) they put "Since I Don't Have You" and "Pennies From Heaven" on the flip side. Both were hits and the band broke up after that. The original drummer and back up singer (mom) left the group.
This song was also very big in NYC 🎶
@@PapaEli-pz8ff It was very big EVERYWHERE in the US.

And all over America.
Back then you didn't sing unless you had talent. We got to listen to songs like this all day on the radio.
When you're ready for more wonderful singing like that, check out these tunes: Nat King Cole "Mona Lisa", Johnny Mathis "Chances Are", Sam Cooke "You Send Me", The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes For You", The Platters "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", The Five Satins "In The Still Of The Night", The Chantels "Maybe", The Crests "Sixteen Candles", and Little Anthony "Tears On My Pillow" among many others.
Great suggestions!
YES, YES, AND YESSSSSS! This ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
Yes!Great choices!
Awesome playlist suggestions. Every one!
Wow!!! You know great music.
Blue Moon, Book of Love, Heart and Soul, For your precious love and many others 😀
This is an era when you needed to be talented. There was no machine to make you sound better. You had it or you did not.
I was so young in 1959 but listened to this music. My parents and aunts played their best songs for us. I remember them dancing in the kitchen....memories that make me cry.....❤😢
I always remember the "Sock Hops" in the gym after the football or basketball games. Can't forget the Saturday night dances at the Armory in my hometown and the Tuesday night dances in the Armory in an adjoining town. They were always so much fun and tons of happy memories.
I was 11 in ‘59. I know my daddy played music all the time. I still remember this song and completely love music.
Jimmy Beaumont is the lead singer of the group and co-wrote this song. He recently passed away at the age of 76. He was from Pittsburgh PA.
The Skyliners SINCE I DON"T HAVE YOU usually comes in the top ten best DOO WOP songs of all times
Janet Vogel was hitting those high "you's" at the end. Since I Don't Have You was recorded in 1958 and released in 1959. Janet was born in 1941 meaning she would have been around 16 when she sang on this song!
Tragically Janet Vogel died of carbon monoxide poisoning in 1980. She was only 37 and left behind 3 children.
Never knew any of that. Thanks! Absolutely amazing a girl of her age was doing that on a song people will be blown away by when they hear it 300 years from now.
In the 60s many many thought this group were black.What a shock when they came on tv singing this song.The falcetto amazing.It is beautiful.
The look on Mel's face when she hears Jimmy Beaumont's beautiful vocals tells me she can't believe he's white. lol
This used to be so great for slow dancing. "Still of the Night" and "Blue Velvet" were great for that too. A lot of the time, it meant the start of a little romance. How do you like that high note he hits? NO AUTOTUNE
Janet Vogel.
There's just something magical about those 1950s and early 60s songs. They were complete class. No autotune, no over dubbing - everything done in one take. Its amazing.
And it was just one room, no booths, maybe sound screens, but it was recorded at once, all musicians, singers, and backup vocal present for one take!
You two really make my day even better! Love exploring "the oldies" with y'all, its a musical history lesson, and you make it fun. Thank you Shawn and Mel!
Nothing to hide behind back then. Either could sing or you couldn't. Brings back great memories. At age 71, I'm still feeling it. Thanks for sharing
Lead singer is Jimmy Beaumont, along with Johnny Maestro of the Crests is the stand out male vocalist of the 50's, was still singing in his 70's too. Janet Vogel was female singer, and she was absolutely outstanding too. The falsetto at the end is all her.
I love these songs that you guys are bringing back. It's great!! I am 72 yrs. old. This brings my childhood back. Blessings!!
These were the most romantic dance songs - slow, slow with the little hesitation step. Oh wow! We were so in love and it felt so good to hold each other.
Shawn and Mel you two truly do bring "good energy and good music." You two brighten up my day with your reactions. I am so glad you are doing reactions to the "oldies" I grew up listening to this music from my parents and grandparents as it was from their generation. These songs are bringing back so much good memories. They stopped making good music after the 80s. The great groups were in the 50s and 60s.
This has always been my favorite single/song. I never tire of listening to it. It just gets you in the feels. Love your reactions to these oldies.
Can't describe how fullfilling it is to see the younger ones appreciate great music, amazing vocals and what they missed out on!
Jimmy Beaumont. I still get chills listening to this since I heard in the early 60s. One of the greatest doowop songs. Absolutely beautiful! This i Swear is also very good. There's a Moon out Tonight is another great doowop song by the Capris. Worth reacting to.
Jimmy Beaumont, wonderful singer, grew up listening to these songs, great times.
I can't tell you how much those of us who lived thru this music when it was "new", to see you folks appreciate music from so many years before you were even born. It is a real joy to listen to your comments and enjoyment of these doo wop songs. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
The Skyliners out of Pittsburgh, PA. Known for "SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE YOU"(1956) also "PENNIES FROM HEAVEN"(1956) in 1961 "CLOSE YOUR EYES "They were one many doo-wop groups. They've been in the VOCAL GROUP HALL OF FAME since 2002.
It's AWESOME to see young people enjoying this music! I'm 41 & have loved this song since I first heard it when I was 11 years old! Lead singer Jimmy Beaumont & the lovely Janet Vogel Rapp, the high female falsetto voice that closes out the song, are looking down from Rock 'n'' Roll Heaven & smiling!
I am so glad that I grew up in the 50's. The music was incredible.
Music and cars! Gorgeous
My Dad was class of 1962. I had an unusual knowledge of 50s nostalgia as a kid. 😂 he thought I was reincarnated lol! Born in wrong Era
Wow. Amazing. I never heard of this song or "I swear." I never heard of The Skyliners. These songs are easily, easily, among the greatest human romantic love songs I ever heard. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention Shawn and Mel.
The Skyliners had another big one, “This I Swear” not to be missed! Really enjoy your channel!
All these oldies are "TIMELESS". Thanks for playing them and the great memories from yesteryear.
The Skyliners also had another hit "This I Swear" which they claimed as their part in the Baby Boom generation.
This was a great oldie. It s great that you both recognize how nice this music sounds. Because back then - it really did sound to everyone then as fantastic as it does to you guys too.
The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes For You". THE most romantic song of all time. First dance at our wedding in July, 2002.
Notice that everything is right on pitch - no auto tune just talent.
I was listening to pretty little girl of mine ,on the outside looking in, the stroll, Jackie wilson,
Thanks for playing my music....I'm 73 years young....you two are great! Happy New Year.
There's something really special about seeing people experience a classic for the first time. What's even more special is that even though I've been listening to this song all my life (I'm 65), I still get the same reaction as you just did. Next you need to listen to them sing "This I Swear is True".
I was born in 1958 and grew up listening to this music with my Mom (Great memories). I still love this music. Listen to the pure voices, the diction and completion of the words they sing. You had to have pure natural talent given by God.
The Skyliners??? Wow Great channel guy’s👍🏼Jimmy Beaumont could sing his a** off..another great one from them that MIGHT even be better than this one is “This I swear”..I’d never steer you wrong my friend’s keep up the great work👏🏼
I was six years old when this hit the airwaves. My parents wore these records out.
How I wish music and singers could go back to those styles. True music and pure voices. Yep, I miss those days(years). Gone but not forgotten!
What a lead vocal beautiful gift from God , back in the day many artists thought they where a black group .if all those 50's and 60's groups where around now they would of all been multi millionaires instead of being ripped off and missing out on publishing rights like they where back then ,artist of today have more of a say and less talented that they have all the technology to sound better when there voices singing live doesn't compare to the lead singers of sonny Williams of the platters and Clyde mcphatter ,and Ben E King and rudy lewis and jonny Moore of the drifters all they had was a mic and their God given talent of a voice that still stands the test of time back in that time
Blue eyed soul Shawn and Mel. I was a little kid when this song came out but learned to love it years later. And with a full string orchestra to make it so beautiful.
Incredible song. It's been covered many times but never done anywhere near as good as this one. The final notes at the end - well before note manipulation in the studio. He hit those for real.
Just to say, Janet Vogel hit the end high note.
You two are fantastic...now that you fell into the Doo Woo era rabbit hole you will never want to come out...some of the best love songs come from this era...the Doo Woo groups of the 50s and early 60s can really bring it..❤
So I’m 40 and grew up listening to doowop/ this… my parents music. I may have not liked it then but I have such an appreciation now for this music. This is perfection right here. Beautiful! Chills. I forget what commercial this was used in.
Loving the oldies with Shawn and Mel. Thank you so much for this walk down memory lane.
one of my favourite songs of all time. If you love this you need to listen to 'then you can tell me goodbye' by The Casinos.
The amazing Jimmy Beaumont. I've loved him for 60 years. I'm a Pittsburgher and saw the SkyLiners many times. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. ❤️❤️❤️
Watching ya'll experience these songs from my childhood is the best part of my day. True enjoyment of treasures in life.
Hawn and Mel, You have a winner with this one.
A 1950's song from a group that was fantastic. Thank You for doing this one.
Love all this old stuff ... thanks for bringing back great memories !! You guys are so much fun !!
Spring of '59, I was 12 y/o, in 7th grade. 17 y/o Jimmy Beaumont, with 16 y/o janet Vogel , et al, recorded this classic. it was a sure-fire slow-dance for my generation.-----Doo Wop, forever & Ever ! ---------MJL, 76 y/o
Oooohhhh yesss. This was a top "tummy rubbin" dance song. A real belt buckle polisher. In my misspent youth -- these were the songs I waited for -----
Just upset that I can't "LIKE" this more than once.
These guys did it well. I grew up hearing this, and always assumed it was a Black band lol. Lot's of soul for a White band.
The great Jimmy Beaumont and the Skyliners. I was 5 when this came out and I can remember it from that time. These guys had some really great hits. RIP Jimmy........I believe he co - wrote this song while still in High School
Never get tired of this song. One of my favorites. Great to slow dance to. Thanks for listening to this group. Another great one from them is This I Swear. 🥰😉👍💥
You guys look like you're having so much. It is heartwarming go see people really enjoy the music I grew up to. Carry on.
Love The Skyliners! My dad (who was around 11-12 yrs old when this song came out) collected their singles and even the CDs today. They have all their music on Apple Music/Amazon Music/Spotify.
They have another hit which I really love that you should check out - This I Swear (also 1959).
I was 9 yrs. when this song came out. I loved this song, such a smooth voice. I'm 71 now and I had to chuckle when I saw the picture on the Album. I didn't realize the group was white. They were more of my oldest Sister's era. You're bringing back so many memories. Makes my day!
We used to love dancing with our favorite girl to this type of music. I really miss those days.
I am just an old Irish guy originally from Pittsburgh, home to the “Skyliners”. Every time I hear this song I
Think of dancing with Marilyn Mulcahy in the 7th grade. I love Shawn and Mel. The expressions from both of you are priceless.
I saw Jimmy Beaumont and the Skyliners live at many of the Pittsburgh Clubs over the years. Jimmy passed away a couple of years ago.
Up until his death his beautiful voice was still strong . I truly thank you guys for keeping Doo Wop and the magical sounds of the 50’s alive
I would love to hear both of you react to “ Rythm of the Rain “ by the Cascades. Very popular song back in 1961.
Much success and God Bless you both.
I'm in my 70s now, but still have very clear memories of slow dancing at parties with my first crush. Wonderful songs bring back wonderful memories.
Jimmy Beaumont was one of the Most underrated singers of all time!!!!!!
A Voice , microphone & a band....Total Magic...Beautiful.💕..nothing beats it. Danced many time to this.
Love your reaction. And when the both of you exclaimed WOWWWWW, It gave me chills. This song came out the same year I was born - 1959 and the lead singer was Jimmy Beaumont. And watching young adults like yourselves appreciating this oldie but goody is just too much for words. Lets give love and props to the orchestration. Thank you Shawn and Mel for your love.
Great song and performance; sweet reaction. Thanks. You both are just too much fun.
You two are knocking it out of the park, playing all the songs the baby boomers grew up on and love to this day. Thanks for your great reactions. This is the best music and my generation was blessed to listen to this every day. Thank you, thank you. 🥰
You have an amazing following here. Keep playing the oldies and you will be up to a million subscribers in no time! 👍🥰
One of the ALL TIME classics of the "Doo Wop" genre, and an everlasting classic
Great song!! I keep telling you Lou Christie the Gypsy cried. You'll love it!
"It happened today" another great one by them.
Oh yeah. The music from the 50's is smooth and so good. Our parents had the best music back then. Slow dancing, romance. Classy. Thank you for taking us back to some. Great music.
Guys, I love your oldies selections, your reaction and your channel. Keep up the good work, ole school bro. Ed.
Who down voted this? It must have been some other reactors who got jealous of all the love in the S&M squad!
My parents were nuts about rock back then but Doo Wop is their absolute favorite so I was fortunate enough to grow up with this music. God, I absolutely love it and always will. They still sing "Little Star" by the Elegants to me. Even on my 16th birthday, my dad played and sang "16 Candles" by the Crests for me. Just beautiful music!
Its such a pleasure to hear those amazing songs from the past and amazing vocals and most of those songs were all about love. ❤
This is the music that the hippies, as kids listen to....☮️🇺🇸 Those we're the daze.
My all time favorite Doo Wop Smoocher, love this tune from 59, R.I.P Jimmy Beaumont, i have this on my jukebox. Best Wishes from England UK
This is what the teenagers listened to and "made out" to in the mid to late 1950s. This is some nostalgic stuff, and some really nice music from that era.
So glad to see you react to these wonderful songs, 50's and early 60' was the best ever.
"And he's been here since then". The great Jimmy Beaumount. One of my favorite songs of this era, the era I grew up in. How do we stand the music of today? I told you before, we just don't listen.
The girl with the High note, don't get no credit, she's amazing! Wow!!
You play the best songs of all the reaction video’s, takes me back to my childhood…thank you, lovely couple! 🥰♥️💖🌹🌹
You guys have sent me tumbling back to my childhood and I'm loving it.
great reaction guys great song! the greatest doo wop song ever recorded is the flamingoes "i only have eyes for you" reaction please ; )
A great song. You guys need to check out The Lettermen. One of their most iconic songs is the theme from the 1959 movie A Summer Place.
Iconic Doo-Wop song that many people may have heard but not know whom sang it. The Skyliners. Since I Don't Have You went to #12 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1958, strings and winds by the Lenny Martin Orchestra. :)
I so love that one. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Simply BEAUTIFUL. That's all.
1959 the best and last year of innocence. Music was phenomenal!
I believe i have all their singles on 45. I also managed to get a rare copy of their sheet music Since I Don't Have You. Love these guys music.
Yes the great Jimmy Beaumont. You got to give “This I Swear” a listen. And then Janet Vogel that high note at the end doing a solo song “I can dream can’t I, a song in later years covered by the Carpenters
Pure talent for the sole !!!! When music was music !!!!
Three Words In And I Got The Chills an awesome Recording Stunning and Beautiful. And I Even Have Tears 😢. 😊. ❤This Is Music
Thanks for playing these old songs. They sounded so good and imagine in a place they played this on a jukebox
"You Send Me" -- Sam Cooke
"Donna" -- Ritchie Valens
This is my favorite doo-wop oldie of all time
Listernniong to these ast reactions put a big smile on my face! Sending me back! Love it. This I swear is true, is another song you may like
You take me down memory lane music I grew up listening to
Hard as a strong, en vogue type black woman, its hard for me to swallow anything from the 50s. My dad lived and survived the " segregation" Era. What I did learn as I "freed my mind" is the 50s made great love songs. Nice songs to slow dance to, but put this music in a " movie" context, the music becomes eerie. Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My family did too. Jehovah is good and all the time , Jehovah is good. Shalom.
A great oldie…classic!
listen to those Beautiful String Arrangements. shoutout to the Music Arranger who wrote those Strings on this Classic.
Now that's my generation....50s...60s....70s...and the 80s were my favorite decades for RnB or R&B 🎶.....but how can you leave out Mr. Excitement himself..... ladies and gents I'm talking about MR.JACKIE WILSON singing "DANNY BOY" LIVE.....simply Unbelievable
