Life's Too Short

[@MEMOEWILTONDALE]

I was 4 years younger than some of The Lafayettes and attended the same high school soon after they graduated. They inspired me to seek rock-n-roll success. In 1963 I was in The Stratfords, and we had the hit, "Never Leave Me." If it weren't for The Lafayettes, I might never have pursued my own success. Thank you Lafayettes.

I'm 76 and growing up in Baltimore makes this very special to me .

The first time I heard this record was in the 1st Hairspray movie. If it was played in Sacramento when released I would have heard it and bought it. Should have been a huge hit.

[@NikkieTwix]

Me too! I’ve loved it ever since hearing it in that movie

No way!! I have this 45!! :) my dad had an awesome jukebox in our old house and this was one of the 45s that i played all the time!! He sold the jukebox one day but i kept the records. I still have this 45 on the RCA label. Thank you for sharing and for the memories!! Ps were from Baltimore too!!

I was the longtime girlfriend of Steve. The entire group were such nice guys. My Mother allowed them to use our home ,entry hall to practice and refine "Life's To Short".My memories are such good ones. Thank you,all!! LMA

This is one of those songs that becomes more and more relevant as time goes by. Both the song and the band's performance of it are one of a kind and etched in time. Nice video.

I knew Lee and Ben when I was a teenager and would sit in Ben's basement while the guys practiced their music...absolutely loved every minute of it. They were the BEST!! Ann Tochterman Seta

This was a big regional hit on WCAO. I loved it then and I still do.

[@seanpaulmurphy4447]

Great song! Great history of the band, too.

I'm from Baltimore and my oldest brother played this 45 record over and over again when I was 10 years old while I swore up and down that they were saying the forbidden "F" word which I soon added to my vocabulary (reference @ 1:44), now after all these years I find out that they were saying something different after getting my mouth washed out then with soap like Ralphie in Christmas Story? Ahhh f*uck...Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh! Just like the lyrics go.

Ecoutez surtout ”Nobody but you ”...un grand disque méconnu...!
