Life's Too Short

Life's too short, by the Lafayettes.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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
