CRAZY REACTION to Last Kiss - J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers

[@pamagnolia]

I listened to this at night on my little AM radio with an ear phone when I was a kid!! Was very popular on the rock radio stations.

[@terrybaby4vr]

Tasha you got the message right away. She died and he wanted to do good to get to heaven to see her again. Just imagine how this would work as a country song with a sad ending.🙂

[@alanh1508]

there were quite a few "teen tragedy" songs back then, another popular one was "Tell Laura I Love Her" by Ray Peterson.

[@patreich8690]

Also Teen angel!

[@francesostrowski2374]

Seasons in the sun by Terry Jacks.

[@warrenburlingame1172]

This song always hits me in the feels. Pearl Jam actually covered this song. He has to live with the pain of knowing he was driving when she got killed

[@trumphatesyou]

Not many covers are better then the original but PJ's version is way better. This version is too upbeat for the subject matter!

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Try the original version by the writer Wayne Cochrane.

[@williamsavage]

The local oldies station played this at 11:58 like clockwork, I know that cause I was in a pos convenience store at that time on the reg in the early 00s. Tragic, concise & a heart punch all while welded to an upbeat backing. Awesome.

[@debbiesnow9400]

I was about 6 yrs old and that song came, I was listening to the song and started crying, still cry to this day.

[@lindabrewer3243]

One of my favorite songs from this era.

[@jennyandjohnfelix1623]

I love this song and it’s meaning but when you both do your first pause so funny you both are amazing people 😀

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

I’ve always loved this song! This love transcends time! And he wants to live a good life so he can be sure to go to heaven to see her. Plus the vocals on this song are amazing!

[@dawnbailey910]

I've always loved this song

[@tedszweb5268]

I can’t believe anyone is doing this song it’s my favorite of all time !😀 From 50’s & early 60’s when there was a lot of Teenage Tragedy Songs like “Teen Angel”, Tell Laura I Love Her”. Also a really good one is “Laurie” or sometimes known as “Strange Things Happen in this World.”

[@kennethbrooks1239]

Song makes me cry every time. My girl was a victim of a hit and run while I was away in the Navy.

[@WilAdams]

This was part of a series of what were known as 'Teen Tragedy' songs. Others in that series included 'Teen Angle',--Mark Dinning, 'Running Bear'--Johnny Preston, and 'Ode to Billy Joe' by Bobby Gentry.

[@lindadoddo6385]

Tasha, We were a morbid bunch in the sixties with songs like teen angel, leader of the pack, tell Laura I love heer, etc. In fact it was so bad that somebody put out a comedy song called, I want my baby back that ya'll should hear . By the way I grew up in southwest Atlanta on Barge Rd. Love your channel and think of you as one of my heart children.

[@RitaBowen1]

When I was about 7 my dad was in Vietnam he sent us a reel to reel recorder I had to learn this song and the Green Beret and send it back to him my seven-year-old self he told me later that every night him and the guys would listen to me seeing these two songs before they went to sleep I always remember that thank goodness he made it home safe it was a tail Gunner on a medevac helicopter. He got a 3 week early out because my baby sister was very sick. He was coming home in 3 week but we didn't think my sister would make it that long so they let him out. 2 weeks after was home his chopper crashed killing everyone on it. Ps my baby sister made it too.

[@marksanchez8055]

I was 13 years old. Breaking a bunch of spoiled 5 and 6 year old horses , just north of Breckinridge Colorado, we would go to Silverthorn and shoot pool at the pub , anyway we played this song on the jukebox every time we were in town, great memories

[@wombatwilly1002]

Redone in 1973 by a Canadian band named *Wednesday",then Pearl Jam.All three versions are great!

[@americanboy79]

This is an all time certified classic 🔥

[@philiplea7267]

I WAS TOLD BY A BANDMEMBER THE SONG WAS WRITTER ABOUT A TRUE EVENT. THIS SONG WAS A BIG HIT FOR THE BAND.

[@kj320175]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! Pearl Jam did a magnificent cover of this! Another upbeat sad song you should listen to is "Artificial flowers Bobby Darren"

[@bethmitchem4721]

Y’all’s stunned face. Lol. I had to watch again. Hahahahhahahaha

[@PatrickOneal-nl7xk]

I bet you that this is a true song , that another reason i loved the songs in our day. Oh i love that song rolling in the deep and a few other from today , but for the most partI loved our music and song so much more , but i have hopes that we will return to the days with songs like this.

[@pamagnolia]

Tasha your face!!! 😂

[@tashajackson]

I know 😳😂

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Yes, it’s a sad song. But many people like sad songs. This is a classic, guys! But you gave your opinions. The guy liked it. I love oldies. They had melody and innocence. They weren’t about to “slap their bitches”! There was respect, kindness and love.

[@ct6502-c7w]

It's a beautiful song and one of my favorites because it's so moving, but yeah it's heartbreaking.

[@tonycg9952]

cry everytime I hear this song

[@TheDylls]

I used to work at Shoppers and on Senior's day they would play this. I used to tell people it was my favourite work song about a guy killing his girlfriend 🙊😅

[@davidelliott6821]

That song was song about 2 teens a boy and a girl that where in a car crash in real life where the girl died and the boy lived the original singer wrote it in her honor😢

[@lindanicholson950]

Teen Angel by Mark Dinning is another tragedy. Patches by Dickie Lee.

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

My buddy's face LOL!! 😆

[@carlosparham8730]

This a true story it happened on 341 highway in rural barnesville ga. His girlfriend was Jeanette Clark.

[@robertwatson2823]

"Tragedy songs" were popular at a time in the 60's. Go figure. Try "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan & Dean or "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro. Both were very popular and especially "Honey".

[@donnaowens3349]

Another good one is Ebony Eyes.

[@JosephNordenbrockartistraction]

My favorite song lyrics line to sing of all time is "the painful screams that I.......heard last."...dum dee dee dum dee dee dum.......

[@RyanTelfer]

should i be scared that i actually recognize/know this song? :D

[@scotthuish67]

I didn't know that was the title, but I recognized it instantly.

[@RyanTelfer]

@@scotthuish67 same lol

[@PatrickOneal-nl7xk]

nah man its not real to have every song have a happy ending , the truth of the matter is this was probably a very honest song just the way it happened .Its telling a true story and i love it for that.

[@marybreiner5]

You guys reaction was hilarious!😂😂😂

[@woodhead18]

Song gives me goosebumps 😢

[@JosephNordenbrockartistraction]

This just in : A big haired lady passenger sings opera moments before fatal impending impact of parked sedan along a horribly maintained stretch of Certainlyheavensway and route 66 off ramp I think ...yes folks it's just sixty six. .Highway SIX SIX

[@briansonnier7384]

It was released in 1961.

[@briansonnier7384]

Pearl Jam does a top notch job covering this song.

[@dennisshirar2813]

One of the splatter platters

[@ShirleyHage]

there were quite a few songs like this .. look for Patches Tell Laura I love her ..

[@allisonjae3152]

Leader of the Pack had a sad ending too.

[@jodytollefson7187]

Pearl Jam covered this in 1994 and took it to number 2 (I hated it) J Frank Wilson did his cover of this in 1964 and also took it to number 2 Wayne Cochran did it first in 1961 and also took it to number 2.

[@Byoung0202]

I would do next Frankie & The Knockouts - Sweetheart

[@garylynncook1560]

It is a 60s song.1963 I believe. One hit wonder.and j frank Wilson died in a car wreck too.

[@garryellis7861]

the song rocky by austin roberts you would like reacting to that

[@sharonhartsoe531]

DOA by Bloodrock.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

The original still way better than the Pearl jam cover

[@Michael-mv3kc]

Agree to disagree

[@bethmitchem4721]

Lol

[@johngillespie3409]

Like Pink Floyd's Free Four. Just listen to the music Tasha.🤣

[@jamesbrinn9701]

1964

[@greendoor49]

Looks like he's unbuttoning her blouse!

[@kennethbrooks1239]

It was 1961. So the sixties was right.

[@camscott4454]

Should do the pearl jam version of this song

[@446hemi]

somewhat of a true song...only it was logging truck the teens hit

[@donnysmith946]

Pearl Jam covered this song, but this version is better

[@Coachdoug4life]

Pearl jam covered this song

[@zernelli9052]

Check out pearl jam's cover of this! Won't disappoint

[@richardknight2569]

Pearl Jam redid this song and was good. Not as upbeat as the original.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

It was not good whatsoever

[@ozwell1088]

Pearl Jam version is better.

[@geramypace4084]

Pearl Jam cover is so much better.

[@christinerobbins6813]

Wrong
