A Tribute to Jimmy Beaumont

[@waynepowers2881]

I'm 73 years old and grew up listening to all the doo wop groups of that era . And hands down and no comparison ... Jimmy was the best . A great voice and a great stage presence . Since I Don't Have You and This i Swear we're Gold standards that were impossible to surpass when speaking of the romantic sentiment that it left in our hearts and minds as teenagers growing up and falling in love . Even yet to this day when I hear those two songs previously mentioned it takes me right back to those special years and special feelings that can never be forgotten . Thank you Jimmy for all those years you gave us with that unique and one of a kind beautiful voice that can never be duplicated . Rest in peace and God bless you always .

I'm 72 and grew up listening to all Doo Wop music and still love it, nothing can compare

@@scottgardner9838 I'm 78 and beat both you and Wayne Powers LOL, but couldn't agree more. Absolutely unforgettable sounds which live on in my heart . The great days of music, manners and fun. .

[@saintpeter42]

I agree with you.

[@kimmorrison9169]

And you cannot forget the Queen of soprano doo wop,,, the great Janet Dean/Vogel.

[@earllutz2663]

I am now 76. But in September of 1959 I was 11. I remember Jimmy Beaumont & " Since I don't have you" plus "This I swear" 2 of my favorite songs from that era and later as I grew up I played the Tennor Sax and eventually sang & fronted my own group and Jimmy Beaumont had a profound influence on me. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

[@res1945]

Oh, If I only could go back and relive those days! Nothing brings me back to those times but listening to these songs, it all comes back. Will never forget those great times and feelings. Slow dancing, drive in movies.... crusing down main street with out a care in the world with my girl by my side. My younger friends will never understand what a great time it was.......

One of the greatest songs ever !

RIP, Beau. I had the honor of singing with him in his Skyliners 2013-17. After he passed, for me, I was done.

Can’t help it - this tribute put tears in my eyes. Happy memories of High School days.

[@jonathonspiers8397]

I was a love struck teenager in 1959 when this great group came on the scene…teen clubs were the thing of nobody had access to wheels…I always loved to dance and there plenty of girls who, luckily for me, loved to dance, and ironically they were 3-4 years older , like T.D. Magee, Joanie Meyer, Mary Graves who I reconnected with in 1962 when I was a Buckeye @ OSU..,.thanks to the marvels of technology, all those magical moments are just a keyboard touch away….it gives me a deeper more mellow sensation now, some 50 years later, and I still love to dance….sadly a lot of the girl friends of long ago, are now long gone….maybe in the next life we’ll reconnect with the great “big bands” in outdoor supper clubs and Harry James, the Dorsey Brothers, Guy Lombardo will help us to make old dreams new again….

[@gracielasantana]

Awww that’s a Beautiful Thought…😢👑🎤🌟🎵

[@paulsolenick4624]

There is no group better at harmonies, and at hitting the high notes, than the Skyliners. Pittsburgh born and bred. They are 50's music at it's very, very best. Listen to them... you will not disagree.

[@jimkilleen9130]

We haad Ted Williams, you had Jimmy!

[@MrJwyche]

The Skyliners is one of my favorite all time singing groups. Theire harmony is so tight and rhe timing spectacular. Thank you all for your inspiation. Peace and love!!!

One of the best voices and greatest sounds of an era. Soundtrack of my youth. Seems almost like yesterday.

ONE OF THE GREATEST WHITE SOUL SINGERS

[@nathanadams9348]

I remember this song when I was a kid, back in the days when we would listen to soul music, but while cruising the dial on the AM radio I heard the doo wop songs from the pioneers, and they played Black and White crooners. I started going backwards towards the thirties, and found that truly good crooners could sing acapella and produce sounds of beauty thousands of times better than many mediocre singers that we have today. The smooth operettic voices in harmony and high notes made by the Skyliners was no joke, it was no one man show, but A GROUP of finely tuned masters at play. As far as Beaumont goes, truly he sang from the soul, best in class.

[@zoeyclo547]

Lets just say soul singer......

[@loucostello4528]

Jimmy was my friend on and off stage. I worked with him and the Skyliners many time. Great memories forever. Thank you for posting.

[@1lbrother]

Thanks for the comment, Lou!

[@frostysilverstein842]

One of most beautiful ballads in RnR history, for that matter, in all of Popular Music.

It warms my heart to hear the Skyliners.So smooth, takes me back,to my younger days.God bless them in Heaven.

Saw the Skyliners at a local dance in Bellevue, PA. One of my most favorite groups of all time. I love all of their songs. Rest in Peace, Jimmy Beaumont.

Reflecting back on the last year plus- I realize how much Jimmy Beaumont is missed....RIP

[@sammonteleone4609]

Jimmy is a man along with the skyliners who represented the best of not only doo wop but music in all its beauty. Imagine still getting chills 50 years later listening to his music .Its sad in my opinion that todays artists get tons of money with music that has no lasting power. There isnt a band or singer in probably the last 20 to 30 years that could put out a true greatest hits album.Back when it was routine with all the great songs artists recorded. You will be missed Jimmy.

[@howardantonoff4698]

Wow!!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

the American doo wop sound is so unique. Born on street corners - amazing. I never tire of hearing it.

[@florret2003]

My wife and I got to see Jimmy Beaumont and the rest of the Skyliners at an oldies revival at Madison Square Garden revival in 1970. Janet Vogel was great as was the whole group. The group is my favorite of all the groups ever. A pure delight to listen to over and over.

[@kuriouslee]

I'm so glad that I've been around for this era of great music and singing groups, having a friend in a group that gave me the opportunity to hear these songs over and over

[@joeforte7649]

Great song by great singers , thank you.

[@danpequeno9233]

The song “Since I Don’t Have You” to me is a timeless classic that is still great to hear now and as I loved hearing it in 1959. I’m glad that I was able to interact and photograph Jimmy Beaumont quite a few times. Many thanks for putting this KZbin video together, and also for the other KZbin video about Joe Rock. Great music history that I absolutely love hearing, and learning about. This was the great music that I grew up to.

I can only wish that more people realize what we might lose if we do not keep this music ALIVE!

UGH, we have lived in such a fantastic era. So much to be thankful for. Music, for me, has always been the medicine needed for hurt, aches and pain. No misspellings there. So, having said that, let me add; "music of the last 70 years, (disregarding music of the last 20 years from all genres), has been great. Some of them are bombs. We know who they are. Anyway, I'd like to leave this planet, one day, knowing that music was great during my earlier years and hope it can heal itself for the future because todays tunes truly do suck. GPM-53.

[@MrVosh-nj2lc]

During the 50's circa 1956, 1957, I attended the record dances at Sully's park lodge in Brentwood, PA. It was there I met Jimmy, as he would often attend the dance sessions. The lodge had a cavernous staircase leading from the dance floor to the rest rooms in the basement. During intermission, it was usual to listen to Jimmy and his group sing an echoing a cappella at the foot of the stairs leading to the rest rooms. As young and naive that I was at the time, I knew this guy was going to make it someday. Gosh, I wish I had a recorder then.
