TY, Sonny

I just don't see any similarity in the songs. Obviously others do, but not me. I like both as well.

A lovely old song ,I remember it .

I've heard these songs a million times, but except for a few, have never seen pictures of the artists - so great to see and the sound quality is amazing!

Great Job Sonny on all your oldies. Like the one-hit wonders.

Omg My sister 😢 she died

Sunday afternoons at Sinnemahoning State Park in the late 60's... youth, sunshine and cookouts...baseball and bikinis. Friends and families having the best of days.😊

I guess Billboard's list of one hit wonders combined with mine stirs up some angry comments. You may personally like certain of these groups but one hit wonder means a song that made the Top 40 in the U.S. and doesn't mean they didn't have other good songs. Post your own videos if you think you can do better and let the nasty comments come your way.

Some tremendous music hits here. Nicely curated. Thank you.

Wait, Kung Fu Fighting was more than 50 years ago?!? I FEEL SO OLD!! Got a few of my old favourites in this collection - thanks! 🙂

Sonny, I followed your link. These sounds send me to a place that only exists in my mind, a place where I had a girlfriend she said I was her only one... Through 57 years of faithful marriage, to Then you realized (that you belong) To me. Thank You so much for using your gift to please us. 👍

This is a great shortlist of songs (which is always hard to do as there were so many great songs back then). "Livin' Thing" was my jam back in the day and I'm still a big ELO fan to this day. It's hard to believe their highest charting song in the US was "Don't Bring Me Down" (#4 in 1979). Even "Mr Blue Sky" only reached #35 in 1978... and now it's got over 1 billion streams on Spotify. Anyway... lots of great songs on this list!

This is when music was really music

Jungle Fever is hilarious!😂

I much prefer the Cliques version of this song.

Sonny, fantastic lineup. How much do I love doo wop ? I bought the CD ‘The Schoolboys And The Students Back To "Doo-Wop" School’ I’ve played it so many times the laser’s burning through. Lol. We had a guy at work that we couldn’t convince Bobby Day’s song wasn’t “Rocky Robin” that’s his name. Common knowledge I guess. "To Know Him Is to Love Him" is a song written by Phil Spector, inspired by his father's gravestone, "To Know Him Was to Love Him". The Teddy Bears was the only vocal group of which he was a member. Laurie London was a English BOY singer. He was 13 when he recorded “He’s got ….” Earl grant was a classicly trained pianist, organist, and vocalist. Here in Pittsburgh PA, the fascinators were a major group. They had songs like “Oh Rosemarie”,” Chapel Bells” & “Who Do You Think You Are?” Thanks for the memories!

ln 1958 i was 14 years old and i singing with a doo whop group in East New York Brooklyn. i also made a few trips to Carnagie Hall with a tv show called Star Time Review . one of the big stars of that show was Connie Francis .

Domenico Modugno might have had only one hit in the USA, he only sang in Italian. But, by no means he was a one hit wonder. He had many hits in Italy, self penned (both alone and contributing) and covered He also had more hits in the USA sung by other artists in English; Ciao Ciao Bambina by Connie Francis comes to mind. Also, Sheb Wooley was by no means a one hit wonder. Hit had several before the Purple People Eater and he had some after that, not only as Sheb Wooley but also as Ben Colder.

The purple people eater lol

Hi Sonny #2 Bobby Day also did " Over and Over" around that same time. This one is a good one, but he had another song as a hit also. Also#10 The Fascinators also had another hit around that time with " Oh RoseMarie" a great doo wop song. I heard Chapel Bells for the first time and love it. How about " Gasoline " by "The Jaytones"

Hi Sonny, great songs,great music. Thank you Sonny for posting these wonderful songs. Sonny do you have " Hi Wocky Toomba" by "The Mighty Jupiters" (1957)

Yes so young not even born yet but loves these songs.

👍❤️

Thank You! Life was so good with this music!

...thankyou Sonny.....what beautiful golden memories these songs have resurrected of my mid teen years.

2025 alive 70. Spooky

1. The Jamies - Summertime, Summertime #26 1958-09-20 This song returned to the charts in 1962 for 8 weeks, reaching the also high position of number 38 in August.

Another outstanding collection!!!!

My dad was born in '26... My mom was born in '43. She was 15 when these songs were hits and she owned a lot of these on 78's I would play as a kid. The 78rpm record format lasted longer in Canada before being phased out by 1960-ish. I was pleasantly surprised... I was thinking "oldies" music didn't have much appeal to me- yet I managed to sing along with half this set and I hadn't heard them in almost 50 years!

I was 13.These are my teenage years into the 60s.What a great time.

I was 14 back in 76 and these tracks were burned into my playlist for life. Hearing them seems to make my hair stand up and immediately transports me back in time.

Great memories! I was 12 in 1975.

Hi Sonny!! Wow, one of my favorite years for music!!! I'm so enjoying your Post!!! Lots of Smiles today! Thank You, My Friend!! 😉😉😉😉😉😉 Love All of these but especially #11

Good Morning My Friend! Some Really Great Songs on this one... Love all of them, one of my fav's is #8.❤❤ Thank you for Sharing these songs and bringing so many smiles to us! Enjoy this beautiful day Sonny! 😉😉

Thank you, Sonny. I love the oldies.

Seems like this guy could have ben an Inspiration for Sylvester

Sonny, this an almost perfect compilation.The Jamies “Summertime, Summertime “ was so cute and every kids summer dream. The Silhouettes "Get a Job" was the inspiration for Smokey Robinson's “Got a Job” this song was clearly crossing the line from R&B to R&R. On Huey piano Smith… “Don't You Just Know It” Smith played the piano and the probable lead singer was Bobbie Marchan, it wasn’t listed but he was in the group and it sounded like him. The Monotones were from Newark New Jersey. They all began singing with the New Hope Baptist Choir, directed by Cissy Houston, who was related to the lead singer Charles Patrick and Whitney Houston's aunt. Jan & Arnie were Jan Berry & Arnie Ginsburg. Later Jan would join with Dean Torrance to become Jan & Dean. Yes ! One of the biggest surf culture groups. I could go on but every ballad on this set is dreamy.

Hi Sonny great segment. Note #2 should be "One Summer Night". Great memories, great songs. Thank you Sonny for posting these wonderful songs 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Damn, this is a good one. I was 12. My Dad would mocklingly say...Get A Job, In a Bar Room. I wonder wonder who...who let the moo-cow out.

If anyone is asking why they don’t make music like this anymore. You can’t perfect perfection.

Fantastic songs! I loved all of them?? Brought back such great memories Thanks!🎉

I was born in 1954 and know #1,3,7 &12. All Great Songs. For being one hit wonders, they’ve stayed around a long time! Thanks for posting them!
