This song was the theme for my senior prom in 1966, 11 year after the song came out. I took a girl named Susan. We've been together 57 years, married 52. We love this song. Thank You, Fred Parris and the Satins, and may Fred Rest in Peace and Harmony.

When I was a kid my grandparents would move all their furniture aside in the living room and play their records for their youth and we would all dance. It is a very happy memory of my childhood. When I grew up I danced with my husband at my wedding to this song. Later I would go on to rock my baby to sleep while I sang this song to her. It's so BEAUTIFUL. I adore it. 💗

Back when music had class. I have a lot of respect for artists of this caliber. They just don't exist anymore.

[@NathanTAK]

False. Music today isn't worse than music 50 years ago; there's just been time for us to forget all the bad music from the time and all the good music to drift to the top. It's just sampling bias - there was plenty of absolute shit back then, but nobody remembers it, so we just see the things that have stuck around. There's plenty of absolute shit today, but since we haven't had the time to wade through it and find the gems, it looks like there's more. Consider the music of Imagine Dragons: much of it is still popular today, and I expect it to remain popular for years to come. In 20 years, there'll be kids in the KZbin comment section, or the future equivalent, complaining about how they don't make music in the 2030s the way they did in the 2000s and 2010s; they like _Believer,_ but they've never even heard of _Anaconda_ or _All About that Base._

[@thatxonexguy5438]

[@11redlions]

THERE IS NO ''MUSIC'' TODAY.

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

the music reflected the values and culture of the time and the artists were products of that culture and those values. Thats why the artists and music of that time were so great, because that time was so great. Now its all changed but they cant change the past, they can revise the history books but they cant change what actually happened and they way it really was as recorded by theses songs. Every year the contrast grows more stark. I notice a lot of young people like this old music though, so maybe they will bring it back. I hope so .

All of us who can identify with this Masterpiece, we immediately go into a zone and it's as if the world stops for a few moments while we listen to the song. For a lot of us, we remember dancing the "two step" with our very close friend at the time in the basement of one of our classmates dance parties on a Friday night listening to 45's on the record player. To me, it's always been a tie for which is my favorite of all time, 'In the Still of the Night' and 'Earth Angel'.

People trying to categorize, with an agenda, who we are.

I also think black artists did the most for civil rights, not the government.

[@soldierssong]

The federal government was a MAJOR player. I agree about black artists, but it was also black athletes. Nevertheless, without the government and Civil Rights LAWS, we would still be in the dark ages of racism. I'm white and can see the improvement. When one of my relatives went on a mission to the Dominican Republic for the Mormon Church and came back married to a black woman, I knew things had changed. She is totally accepted in a huge family of some 150 people.

I used to love and still love this song. I was a teenager and all it brings me r beautiful memories.

These guys played at the senior dance 1970 on our high school tennis courts in Connecticut. It was my first date with my high school girlfriend and the first time driving my father's VW BUS a week after I got my drivers license. Great night Great memories

Brings back so many sweet memories! Songs then were simple, honest, and pure.

Hi, I am from India. I first time heard this song in Martin Scorsese's film 'The Irishman' since then it is one of my favourite songs. If this is what American classical music sounds like I would really like to explore more. Please suggest more such songs.

Listen to the velvets tonight could be the night

I’ve always loved this song. I remember when it came out. The sad thing is that I’ll bet Fred Paris and the group could only come and go thru the back door. They would never be allowed to come in thru the front door in a club like this. A sad situation. Those of you who were alive then know what I’m talking about.

@@angelmendoza139 ahh okay m'y bad, I think it represents how even if Frank had let his family to do his job and knew that he would be alone because of it , in the end he did not want to be alone he even thought that somebody might come to see him during Christmas :/

My Dad's name was Gene Autry - So you already know! I know every word to every single song, and what an honor to admit it😍🤩

A real rock n roll classic. I remember playing the 45 record loud and driving my parents crazy. I did the same for Earth Angel

Hello Lynda How are you doing today?

[@Yummycheezes]

The people who got to be there when they performed are so lucky. I’d do anything to go back to a time before I was born just to hear beautiful, meaningful music like this.

[@bLacKxxxLoDgE]

Haven't heard this in well over 30 years but it started playing in my head for no good ol' reason. Beautiful is the mind.

[@Wrz2e]

Something must have triggered a memory of the song :-)

[@scamwitness6594]

bLacKxxxLoDgE so true, Happens to me also.
