I was 4 years younger than some of The Lafayettes and attended the same high school soon after they graduated. They inspired me to seek rock-n-roll success. In 1963 I was in The Stratfords, and we had the hit, "Never Leave Me." If it weren't for The Lafayettes, I might never have pursued my own success. Thank you Lafayettes.

No way!! I have this 45!! :) my dad had an awesome jukebox in our old house and this was one of the 45s that i played all the time!! He sold the jukebox one day but i kept the records. I still have this 45 on the RCA label. Thank you for sharing and for the memories!! Ps were from Baltimore too!!

Ocean City, MD and Balto venues.

Ecoutez surtout ”Nobody but you ”...un grand disque méconnu...!

brian eno said life is to short was one of his favorites😄

Even though they didn’t move, I think a lot of old Redskins fans feel same way as these Colts fans did. Sorry but the “Commanders” aren’t truly the same team as the Redskins even if they claim all the history and IPs.

The first time I heard this record was in the 1st Hairspray movie. If it was played in Sacramento when released I would have heard it and bought it. Should have been a huge hit.

The “Captain” is my father!

I’m badly injured coolsong

It's a wonder they didn't get kicked out of a lot of places thanks to everyone in the audience hollering F*uck during the song while they misunderstood the correct lyric?

I'm from Baltimore and my oldest brother played this 45 record over and over again when I was 10 years old while I swore up and down that they were saying the forbidden "F" word which I soon added to my vocabulary (reference @ 1:44), now after all these years I find out that they were saying something different after getting my mouth washed out then with soap like Ralphie in Christmas Story? Ahhh f*uck...Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh! Just like the lyrics go.

Let's go indianapolis wooooo

It's funny how Baltimore was mad that the colts did that but had no problem with the browns doing the same thing

I'm 76 and growing up in Baltimore makes this very special to me .

I knew Frank who sings Life’s Too Short. He was a neighbor

This is one of those songs that becomes more and more relevant as time goes by. Both the song and the band's performance of it are one of a kind and etched in time. Nice video.

cool - I remember!

Bob irsay can STILL KISS My FUCKING ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow nice to see this

Life is short Too short no matter how slowly I take it

The Lafayettes played at City's Victory Hop (Beat Poly) in November 1962. Dick Svehla on alto sax was also a City College Cross Country/Track star of the late1950's. Lee Bonner is a legendary film producer...and friends with B'more's Barry Levinson. And, M.A....always saw her around in Towson! Lee Raskin, JD BCC June '63. #CityForever

to really dull the pain, only gunpowder will do

I like my Packers but I could stop being a fan at the drop of a hat. The coin that dropped in my slot was paying for tickets and a hotel room to watch the Yankees play the Brewers in Milwaukee in August 1994. Everyone knew that MLB was cancelling the season the next week. The World Series would not be played. Anytime these owners want, they can pull the plug on any sport, at any time. Sports are a diversion. It's manufactured conflict and drama. Treat it that way.

People from San Diego, people from Saint Louis, Baltimore will always be kind and sympathetic to you.

Nice video

I love this song

Great song

I knew Lee and Ben when I was a teenager and would sit in Ben's basement while the guys practiced their music...absolutely loved every minute of it. They were the BEST!! Ann Tochterman Seta

Awesome memories, thanks.

M.A. is beautiful.

Great song! Great history of the band, too.

this is the one that pisses you off, the rams going to st louis and the cardinals going to phoenix is enough to make you disgusted, but the colts going to indianapolis is enough to make you hate private owners untill the day you die. teams should be publicly owned franchises, these owners make millions off the tax payers and the treat their fans like shit. a great book on this subject is "bad sports" by dave zirin. nfl owners have passed rules making it illegal for cities to own their teams.

that's a lovely looking painkiller. the rest of them that i've seen here look very uninviting and discolored. thanks for showing me how its really done.

"Only fresh nutmeg will do"

Pusser's isn't rum, it's engine degreaser.

I think I'll make one tonight!
