Sha Na Na - Pretty Little Angel Eyes

"Pretty Little Angel Eyes" by Sha Na Na with Donny on lead.

[@user-zx5le1ei8f]

Sha na na was and still is my favorite band . I always fantasized being bouzer . I'm 65 years old and I will always love the oldies music .

[@Ronbo710]

Used to watch this as a young teen in the 70's with my Grandparents. And I told them I was born too late. They laughed so much. Miss you Gran and Perry

[@raymondortiz1113]

These guys had talent, played real music, not auto tune, or computers to mimic a song, they played on pure talent.

[@12345kjelle]

They must have been the absolute best cover bands ever borned. This is magical. Such songs you cant hear any longer. Love to Sha Na Na

[@LisaKoffler]

They were, and we STILL have "oldies" radio stations!

[@wesleycook7687]

@@LisaKoffler Where? We haven't had an oldies station in years.. Wolfman Jack is gone. Casey Kasem is too. And Dick Clark was still doing until he got older..

[@LisaKoffler]

ALL 50 States have "oldies" radio stations, so you can just look it up!

[@tarstarkusz]

Go look up Showaddywaddy's cover of this song and other songs.

[@tchr6798]

I am almost 63 years old and the NaNa of a precious 4 year old granddaughter, our only grandchild. Since her Papa and I are oldies, these are the songs that we sing to her now just as we did to her Mom. I hope that when she gets to be your age, she has such sweet memories of us as you do of your grandparents. We even took our daughter to see Sha Na Na when she was a little girl. Bless your heart.

[@philm.6113]

Something about the imperfect choreography actually makes it absolutely enjoyable. These guys were having so much fun. I followed them since about 1974 and I appreciate them more today than I did back then.

[@elmarko9051]

The fact that a male group did dancing and choreography, and it was still viewed as 'manly' is awesome. Other than 'boy bands', what male groups do that? Sha Na Na had it all, the vocals, talented instrumentalists, and a fun stage show. I was just a kid watching this on TV, loved the skits and the music.

[@dmelvinable]

Yeah, the jumping jacks were kind of trite, but I still appreciate them a lot more after not seeing them for decades. Also, you gotta love the one-man bass line (Bowser).

[@Tonithenightowl]

Great lead by Donnie. Great back up. Bowser and Johnny just add to it. Lenny on sax completes the magic, Great choreography. This is talent.

[@LisaKoffler]

I still remember the audience screaming!

[@tonithenightowl1836]

@@LisaKoffler They always got a great ovation but this one is outstanding, agreed.

[@user-lb8qd2bb1e]

I used to listen to this program when I was in high school and during the time. I was in the military I would think about them from time to time because it was a lot better than crawling around in the sand in the mud or swamps. Music what a wonderful way to be free. God bless all America and veterans.

I saw Sha Na Na 36 years ago when I was 17 at Newcastle City Hall in North East England and it was a brilliant night. The show was perfection and all the covers of the original had both great instrumentals and vocals. My favourite band members were Elliot Cahn(Gino), Donny and Johnny. Johnny in particular has an amazing vocal range.

[@LisaKoffler]

ALL of them have wonderful singing voices, and Johnny stood right out!

[@stephenpotts2820]

I was at the same show. My first gig. They were absolutely brilliant. Never bettered.

[@jessicaallen901]

I'm a fan of theirs since I was 4 in 1977 and watching them EVERY time they were on TV. NOTHING got in my way haha and listened to their records all the time in my basement. And saw them multiple times live. And I eventually became close friends with Lennie Baker.

Bowser hadn't joined at Woodstock. Johnny either. The leads were mostly short time additions. Donny and Chico did the lead most of the time. The high notes were done by 2 different guys until Johnny came aboard. One was Henry Gross..

Scott Powell is a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon. A man of many talents.

[@daves3121]

Tony Santini? The Italian kid from Brooklyn?

[@LisaKoffler]

Tony Santini is his nickname.

[@kb6kgx]

His office is in Burbank, CA and he is team physician to the LA Galaxy Soccer Team (I think that's the name of the team), and is an expert on knee and shoulder surgical repair.

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

Denny was a law professor. Bowser was a classically trained pianist. Lenny played with Joey Dee and the Starlighters.

[@donnyyork2149]

Joe Witkin (the original keyboard player before Scott Simon replaced him) became a physician as he'd always expected to. Most of his career was heading the emergency room at a San Diego area hospital. Bowzer's predecessor Alan Cooper became a department head at the Columbia University Jewish Theological Seminary. Bruce Clarke became a bigtime academician based at Texas Tech University. Elliot Cahn (left before the TV series as did Bruce Clarke and Rich Joffe) became a bigtime entertainment lawyer who managed the group "Green Day" for a few years. David Garrett graduated the rigorous Columbia University School of Engineering and became an electronics industry businessman. Rich Joffe practiced law in NYC for years. Denny Greene graduated Yale Law School after the TV years and ended up a law professor. "Many talents" were the norm for Columbia undergraduates, due to the college having extremely tough admissions standards. I'd been on track to become a lawyer myself, but the life of a journeyman rock star hooked me and allowed all the time that I ended up needing for marital trainwrecks. 😎

It's not that Donny doesn't care - he just likes having fun, and that's what I like MOST about him! I saw him in "The Stroll" video with Guerin "Tito Mambo" Barry as the lead singer. Donny was wearing a white jacket with his signature outfit and strolled with two girls instead of one!
