[@jesserice9446]

Wow,,they sound exactly, as they did when I was 11years old,, I'm 76 years old now! and also they still Fine!!!

[@rodolfoayalajr.8589]

Emotional 😭. Greatness. I was born in Brooklyn in 1958 and now I’m 62 years old. They been singing before I was born. Amen 🙏🏻 🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🏻.

[@MGee-sm2uh]

🇺🇸🇵🇷 heard them first at 17 in 1957. Still love them and listen to their music. Also from Brooklyn.🥰

[@marymargaretblumhorst5359]

This was the first song my former husband and I danced to when it was played at a skating rink in Pittsburg, Kansas! We divorced more than 45 years ago, but are still friends, and have raised two kids, 56 and 54, together! Anything is possible with Gods care!

[@tonymoreno8421]

I member coming home from2 and 3rd grade my teenager sister would b playing there 45 records makes Mr cry when i hear all these golden oldies unbelievable talent born to sing!!!!

[@patricialenaburg6553]

This song never gets old, it gives me chills every time I hear it. They did a great job with this.

[@russkie69]

I couldn’t agree more. Maybe is one of my all-time favorite songs. It’s been covered all over the place and for good reason. It’s a beautiful, hauntingly romantic work. It evokes a universal feeling of love, loss and hope. God bless the Chantels!

[@barbaramingione9314]

Saw them at the Count Basie in Red Bank, NJ. Lead sounded just as great as the original Arlene Smith. Miss her but amazing replacement!

[@jimboyer5382]

While in High School, I was a part time, Saturday, DJ on the Tower Of Power in Arlington Va, I would call the station late at night and ask who ever was working the board to play this song (long version) as it is so beautiful and dreaming of the beautiful Arlene Smith is better than any sleeping pill ever manufactured. Rest in Peace Dear Lady as you got this Irish kid through puberty, and I still love the song and you over 60 years later.

[@doowoplvr]

Just remember there would have been NO Chantels without the great Arlene Smith, she wrote their first hit, and co-wrote Maybe....she will always be the voice of this group....

[@MGee-sm2uh]

❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹 Arlene, R.I.P.

[@doowoplvr]

@@MGee-sm2uh Ms. Arlene Smith is very much alive in her hometown of The Bronx, NY.

[@Dr.JamesHKithcart]

These women are divine gifts from heaven.

[@DISCODAN1]

Such a hauntingly beautiful song! This lead singer is not Arlene Smith... but she is the next best thing and she is still amazing and deserves her props! This song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it lol!

[@karinaport]

This is Amy Ortiz... from what I read in Amy’s FB site she is no longer with The Chantels since last year..

[@ronlheureux7623]

Thia song has gotten to me for around 50 years. I’m just made this way.

[@starlight3363]

I've loved them all of my life. And I'm so glad I found them again.

[@garykazaks3862]

I played guitar at the Beacon theater in New York City in the “Don K Reed Golden Anniversary “30 year reunion show with “The Creations” and The Chantals were on the lineup - they sang Maybe snd it was amazing - 1989 was the year and Ill forever have wonderful memories of that night!

[@Seekmage]

You are so lucky!

[@Seekmage]

Seems there were a several bands with the same name. Which "Creations"? Keeping in sync with The Chantels, I'm guessing this one, The Creations - This is our night (1962) (doo wop/motown) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJq9ip2mm5hqntk or was this their work? The Creations - I've Paid My Dues (1965) (Psychedelic) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIWUnIprbNCSjNk or was this their work? The Creations - Crash (1964) (Surf) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqLXpYevrpeisMk or was this their work? The Creations - Holding Out (1968) (Reggae) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4umdGmhjcplhdU I could see/hear each of these songs being performed at the Don K. Reed reunion.

[@SHIRLEYGiffordCashmanMS]

Great job, ladies! Beautiful voices and a beautiful song!

[@Jockosentme]

I'm Like W O W every time I hear these Ladies

[@theresabrown8188]

This song resonates as strongly today as when I heard it at 13. My screenplay opens with it.

[@dr.bochorno9103]

John Frusciante.... Brought me to this jewel of a song...

[@phyllissimpson720]

Beautiful voices❤❤

[@nanepovoado5858]

Sublime! I loved! Thank you

[@leftys408]

Legends.

[@aviationvideos4812]

I loved this song when I first heard it when I was 10 years old in 1958. And I still love it. These gals still pack a punch singing it many years later.

[@tedcarter1030]

same here

[@rogermilam3157]

[@gladysrodgers4015]

[@ALLEYOOP77]

EXCELLENT LEAD SINGER!!! RIP ARLENE!!!

[@pamelabush6540]

James Check It Out To Make Sure That I'm Not Incorrect. But I Looked Arlene Smith And It Stated That She Is 79 Years Old And Still Living. Arlene Smith Is On You Tube As A Special Guest Live Singing With The Original Back Up Singers.

[@pamelabush6540]

December 5, 1999 Live On PBS Doo Woop 50... Maybe: Arlene Smith And The Chantel.

[@GiGi-po8yc]

Arlene Smith sounds great. One of the best girl groups.

[@jaylindale7699]

That is a different singer. Arleme Smith passed away.

[@dennislyon8030]

Always love you Arlene 💔💕🌹

[@5871248]

I think Arlene would say ..."great job ladies"

[@Mzlogic2011]

I really wanted to Hate her because she's not Arlene...But Mannn She sounds Amazzzzinng

[@ronmaessen2021]

John Frusciante brought me here. This is beautiful.

[@mickeyb4709]

OH DARLIN I PRAY EVERY NIGHT YOU WILL BE MINE MINE GRAHAM OH❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💔💔💔💔

[@ronlheureux7623]

Amy Ortiz sounds quite a bit like Arlene Smith. Amy really keet the Arlene's original sound alive. The other ladies are great, as well.

[@lareemcra347]

I had never seen her but I wanted to marry her just for her voice.

[@coastie378]

Not the originals, but very good. The lead does very well and does Arlene Smith proud.

[@Seekmage]

coastie378 Look on the good side coastie, while Arlene Smith had passed, and unless I'm mistaken, three of them ARE the original members: Jackie Landry, Sonia Goring and Renee Minus.

[@coastie378]

Jackie Landry is gone. Arlene Eulogized her in a way at a Doo Wop revival when they brought her out for "Maybe". The next time I saw Arlene was at another revival and she was in a wheelchair then. Both of those are on here.

[@beefoneeto]

@@Seekmage Arlene is still alive.

[@therealsheps]

The three in the background are original members of the Chantels.

[@jwenneker7445]

just great, the sound -------today"s stink !!!!

[@toniventura7010]

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT ARLENE DEATH 😢 R.I.P. GEORGE GOLDNER NIECE.

[@pedromunoz8989]

Nopormi no tseprocupen

[@pamelabush6540]

I Think She Still Alive At 79. What Year Did They Say That She Die?? 😢

[@seanneverett9068]

Wait what happened to Arlene

[@richeemills8533]

They still sound great even without the original lead singer. Amazing.

[@georggswan8133]

That's not Arlene. But it's ok

[@angelat8147]

She's not Arlene Smith!!!!

[@gatherer47]

so what's your point?

[@jamesmahoney8709]

Amy Rodriguez who sounds just great, I don't like covers.

[@rspecial1972]

She does this timeless classic justice!

[@MayraVetrano-gr7zv]

Not bad, but not nearly as good without Arlene Smith. The harmonies are there but Arlene’s voice is clearly missing. Arlene’s voice was directly from heaven. Without her, I don’t think it’s right to call them “The Original Chantels”. I raised my kids on Doo Wop and the Chantels’ Maybe and the Students’ So Young are perhaps the two most outstanding Doo Wop songs ever. They certainly are in our house.

[@conniewolf7300]

without Arlene, Chantels aren't what they were.

[@russkie69]

What an amazing video! After all those years, they sounded as fresh and energetic as when Maybe was first released. Absolutely brilliant and inspiring! Thank you for posting this. I’ll never forget it.

[@zsazsamyles2181]

Superb!!!
