darlene love wait til' my bobby gets home

stereo alt version from spectors studio session

[@samuelgriffin4223]

The Wall Of Sound keeps my favorite songs alive and well

[@samuelgriffin4167]

My music from the fifties through the nineties is my music generation and nothing will be ever get replaced

[@leocshea]

Darlene Love is one of the greatest singers of her generation. She is one of my idols!

[@jgordainc]

Darlene and the Blossoms were the singers on the hit song " He's a Rebel " even though the Crystals name is on the record!

[@lindadee2053]

Just love these Darlene Love songs!

[@utubemusiccritic]

Rarely if ever played these days, but an enduring classic. Love that sax.

[@is1531]

A great song in 1963 that still sounds great.

[@freeguy77]

Me, too! A long-neglected early'60s gem! Where are all the happy, melodic, singable, danceable songs as this one was? Gone the way of the dinosaurs, I guess. "...you wanted to take me to a movie show--I gotta tell you that I just can't go!"

[@garyrbeck]

My unsung lady of the 60's. On more records than you can imagine.

[@tracerloenan8020]

Don't you wish someone could compile a list of all the songs she was a part of throughout her career.

[@larrymartin7479]

She's awesome. Saw Miss Love on Broadway. Love her!

[@jerryboucher5622]

So much going on here and its all beyond incredible.

[@michrigan]

I agree with all the comments about Darlene Love. I think she's the best because she has strength and guts. Having said that, the lead singer of the Shirelles has such a unique and smooth low voice and the same guts with which feeling can not be expressed.

[@ronhennessy7766]

Great 60s r&b number. Fun harmonies, as an alternate to 12-bar blues. Darlene is great!! :)

[@mikewood7496]

My late mom loved this music she was born in the 40's.

[@freeguy77]

An example of a superb little song that stands the test of time as a classic, as any song that Darlene Love sings! Still going strong at 73, sung her enduring "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" on David Letterman's show for the last time for him in December.

[@freeguy77]

Darlene Love is now 75. July 26 will be her 76th. In 2021, she celebrated her 80th!

[@KarynsNails]

I am a firm believer in "to each their own" however, the one thumbs down for this song hears but does not listen. Maybe... just maybe.... if the individual gave the song a second chance, he/she may like it.

[@RonnieGilesSings]

Stefmagura....you are NOT weird at all. I think a LOT of the Girl groups back then (both Black & White) were inspired by by the Andrews Sisters, & other similar sounding Female groups from the 1940's & 1950's. I'm an old guy, so I can pretty much vouch for this theory!

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Music like this we don't hear on radio stations anymore but try out XM Sirius radio they'll have music like this better than ever

[@freeguy77]

Written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry. Love that exquisite, haunting background at 1:35! Another innocent, fun, and completely enchanting song in the last, truly non-politicized year, before the insiders and war-hawks (they wanted the Vietnam War--not JFK!) crafted a brutal coup d'etat (as they previously did in foreign countries), and not by the patsy. LHO's memorable description of himself, who was not on the 6th floor, and denied any desire for publicity, on that awful Friday night press conference, when asked why he did it. "I didn't shoot anybody, no sir!" That includes officer J.D. Tippit, witnesses described a man as shorter and fatter, not fitting LHOs description!

[@Fwickie]

Thanks for the upload :) I heard this on The pick up artist (the movie) and couldnt get it out of my head.

[@KatsinVoorhees]

This song always reminds me of a boy I had a huge crush on in 9th grade Just started high school and this gorgeous creature named Bobby sat in front of me in history class He not only was gorgeous, but a great dresser and very smart He became our class president He didn't even know I was alive!

[@PearloftheTheWorld]

I loved this cheery sounding song when it came out. I was madly in love with our clas president, Bobby Pisko, a smart and totally gorgeous guy, who didn't know I was alive! I was called the prettiest girl in the neighborhood, but Bobby never noticed me!!!

[@baysidebunny]

This song puts me in a good mood:-)

[@jean-yvesmazere2865]

Yes ,j agree ,and Darlene did not received the recognition she deserved ...COMPETITION AT THESE Times was tough,but sure ,the wall of sound boosted her career.

[@is1531]

5 Stars on this super song

[@sammyloffredo6414]

Darlene at her Best Spring 1963

[@freeguy77]

Not heard until late-Summer! Recorded in May, but not released until months later.

[@samuelgriffin4223]

Phil Spector R.I.P. known for Wall Of Sound

[@davidtosh7200]

John F. Kennedy was President of The United States, just 6 months before he was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas Texas. The world is not the same back then. This song is in May of 1963.

[@rubytuesday9539]

Oswald? Nfw. CIA, yeah.

[@freeguy77]

David, it was *recorded* in May, with her sister Edna Wright on the vocals. Did not get released until late-Summer, peaked at #26 in September. The man you mentioned was not the shooter. Ruby Tuesday had the more accurate idea, along with the insidious, and power-hungry VP, who shot his way to the presidency, after having 7 other men murdered by his hired hitman, Malcolm "Mac" Wallace. The criminal and thoroughly corrupt (and money hungry) VP also had his own sister, Josefa killed (Christmas, 1961), to stop her embarrassing him with her sexual hijinks, and big mouth.

[@mrob75]

That "ONE" thumbs down leads me to suspect that "Justin Beiber" lurks around here on You Tube.

[@ajoyheartunaypenick675]

Exactly

[@tommoulton]

Now I know what happened to my second stage cassette!!!

[@RonnieGilesSings]

@Freyja1133 Hi, and thanks for the useful info. on this!

[@robertcruice1801]

darlene i love you bob cruice

[@AJMJstudios]

She is better now

[@excommando1]

Listen to her singing a song called, "Christmastime For The Jews". I think it may have originally been on SNL.

[@jakeypaul1899]

My Bobby is home

[@fntime]

@filthyphillyboy Outside of your music 'fantasy', did you ever meet such a girlfriend?

[@wallacegarrett3537]

Waiting for Bobby to get home, because he might have been Black (the '60 -time period) does not mean he was in jail! (A somewhat racist comment). Many Black Men were in the military during that time period. You know, like Viet Nam! So don't say because she is waiting for Bobby to come home (and he's Black) (Most Black Girls didn't date too many White Guys in the '60.) And to say that he's geting out of prison is kind of racist. [ to:Sha 11235]

[@stefmagura]

Am I weird for saying that this reminds me of the Andrews Sisters? I know the vocals don't sound the same but still...

[@sha11235]

Where did Bobby go? Jail?

[@lorrained7003]

sha11235 in viet nam

[@spacepatrolman]

1:29 SAX SOLO

[@pault1964]

Bobby is going to kick the crap out of you

[@genuineuni]

Not bad stereo, but too muddy! Besides, where's the countdown and unedited ending?!

[@filthyphillyboy]

Thanks and a tip of the hat for putting up this alternate version. I remember hearing the hit version when I was like 13, just starting to go crazy over girls. I remember thinking how cool it would be to have a girlfriend so faithful that she would wait for you to come home, spurning some other guy's advances, even when she "hasn't got a thing to do" and she's "so lonely and blue". What a woman and what a singer Darlene Love was/is!

[@filthyphillyboy]

@fntime "Outside of your music 'fantasy', did you ever meet such a girlfriend?" Yeah, but of course I didn't appreciate it when it happened & we broke up later. Oh, the ones that got away!
