[@angeec.3312]

"Wimoweh" ... One of those timeless songs .. "so" different.. One can't help think about the king of the jungle, and how important it is to preserve these beautiful animals; which play their role in nature's balance. Lovely rendition. April, 2017.

[@manuelrivera-torres1955]

Originally, was an African song, recorded in 1938. The title, was from the book, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".

[@sydboski]

The title was "Mbube" by Solomon Linda in 1939. The rights were stolen from him by US record executives. He died penniless. His family sued Disney who now holds the rights to the song, and won. Solomon Linda now has to be credited with writing the song and royalties must be paid to his family. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3PeqqhZad-bqM

Ace Ventura 2 is the movie that originally made me look for this song. Now that it is in the lion king remake many kids will seek this song out.

Originally sang by a South African solomon Linda 1939

[@lynnkanerva4519]

I've watched many of the PBS specials, and enjoyed most of them. It's amazing that many still sound the same, but because of the years they look different. I sometimes close my eyes and listen to them sing, then open my eyes and go 'huh? I that's them?' It's great that most can still sing like before.

[@RickDevita]

Hey Howard - yes he does!! My step dad (Warren Schwartz) sang with Jay Siegel (leader of the Tokens) in high school, in their band(s) the "LincTones" and "Darrel and the Oxfords" - He sang with them in the Tokens too, but wasnt with the band shortly after the original radio recording (feel free to look any of this up). I'm 54, and have known Jay and wife Judy (and their kids), since I was about 5..... Saw them at Eisenhower park 2 years ago.... it was like a reunion... and yeah... I AM AMAZED at how great Jay still sounds, at .....77?

[@robertlevine6361]

I thought Mitch Margo sang the high noes and his brother Phil was lead singer. They were my next door neighbors in 90210 on S. Palm Dr.

[@alvarojr.339]

Who sang the high notes in the original recording was the soprano Anita Darian...

Great happy song. My son and I used to sing it when he was little in the 80's. I still love it a lot.

[@leebondy5035]

Jay does have a good falsetto voice but not as good as brian wilson in his prime. Don't get me wrong i love the tokens but I'm a harmony lover. Thats why i love the beach boys.

[@Jjhicks72]

This is my 10 month old daughters favorite song! This song will live forever!!

[@vickiecushing5163]

HANDSOME MEN GOOD VOICES

[@angie6649]

Great song, singers and musicians. I am so happy to see you still doing concerts.

[@europhile2695]

love the story about the kids singing it back to him, must have been special

[@johncirillo9544]

Love these guys! I was three years old when The Tokens released this song. My older sisters played it constantly, but it never got old.

[@CelticAngel1]

The best falsetto voice in the music industry.

[@aryantruth1807]

best connected tribal insider voice perhaps........... but there is a massive amount of talent out there that never gets a shot at the bigs.......and that's a damned shame.

[@mohammedkhan6039]

Janette MacDonald sure! Someone cut his balls off!

[@BigWanker442]

Mohammed Khan really???!!!

[@loboestepariochilensis]

You wrong,Frankie Valli es the best falsetto.

[@stevenmiller7747]

Ummmmm no.

[@spotedlady]

Always gives me chills to hear them sing this. No one can compare....................

[@vloggingismyhobby]

Pumba and timon brings me here at 2019.

[@julielambert6764]

The absolute best falsetto voice I've ever heard. Jay Segal, and he's held that voice for how many years. Also, I hear, "Way up High" but can't find it in any video

[@zebramike100]

Quite the showman very good video,im impress with the young lady that went from the sax to the clarinet,i guess that's a two -for from a lovely lady with talent.I also see a wedding ring that some lucky guy put around her finger

[@OutbackKanga]

Still the best :)

[@sonnysoldies5288]

Jay Traynor (original Jay & The Americans) was still alive at this performance....saw The Tokens many times over the years and the shows that Jay Traynor sang "She Cried" were always the highlight of the show.

Who is the lady with that beautiful high pitched voice?

[@187mrsmith]

And this whole time I was thinking that song was specifically made for The Lion King ... Imagine being able to live the rest of your life rich off of making one song that forever resonates with every generation

[@CaptainGlack]

The main hook, the chorus is a much older song they didn’t write that.

[@garybesem]

ry Hendrickse 1 second ago There were South Africans who had their share of exploiting this song, which was composed by a Zulu in 1938. I heard this song for the first time in 1955 at the age of 11 years, performed in a cinema advert feature by the Peterson Brothers for Cavalla Cigarettes. What happened with this song was merely the tip of the iceberg of colonial exploitation. This type of exploitation occurred in all fields of expertise.

[@jarichards99utube]

Very COOL. THANKS for posting : )

[@ancushing1]

Hi, I have a question. What is the name of the instrument the girl is playing for the high notes in the song? I thought it was a clarinet but when I saw it, I didn't recognize it. Could you please tell me. She plays it so beautifully! :)

[@dj9wk]

good singer.
