I applaud your discerning choice.

[@cheryldavidson5131]

This is SO good, especially for HS!! There are some not so easy chords in there, and they pulled it off very well. Strong singers, all 4 of them. I Hope they’re all still ‘shopping all these years later!

[@raychang8648]

I was expecting an OK video, but I never expected that these girls would nail it like this. Good work! What an awesome performance!

[@Les0613]

Great job!!

[@PRR5406]

The thrill of hitting the chords perfectly is indescribable. My gosh, they're having a great time, and their sound is elegant. Pretty doesn't hurt, either!

[@Yazinator3000]

OH MY GOD, ONE OF THE BEST COVERS OF THIS SONG THAT I'VE HEARD WELL DONE

[@trainliker100]

This was a hugely popular song in its day. The most popular version, the version most people remember, being by the Chordettes in 1954. That year, it was U.S. Billboard #1 Best Seller in Stores, #1 Most Played by Disk Jockeys, and #1 Most Played in Juke Boxes. And this East Lake group did a very fine job with an old classic song.

[@MeMeDaVinci]

The Chordettes were natives of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The group was a favorite of Dick Clark and were invited to be on the first *national* American Bandstand telecast. All members have passed away. 😞

[@christopherwilson3442]

Really excellent. I was a big fan of the Chordettes, but these girls were top notch.

[@scottadler]

"Women's barbershop" quartets are called "Sweet Adelines".

[@BruceEEvans1]

Only if they are members of Sweet Adelines International. Otherwise, they are called women barbershop quartets.

[@richardlesh393]

@@BruceEEvans1 thanks I was wondering 👍😁

[@hilarylawrence4588]

"Sweet Adeline" was my dad's grandfather's favorite song, that was why my grandmother's middle name was Adeline.

[@richardlesh393]

@@hilarylawrence4588 you should watch" the music man.". A musical. W Shirley Jones. Lots of barbershop. Opie is the kid in it👍. Ron Howard.

[@hilarylawrence4588]

I've seen both film versions of the Music Man, thanks. Plus I'm not a huge barbershop fan.

[@pandvsims]

Well done ladies! You nailed it!

[@frankmargerum1700]

Now this is a group that should definitely be on America's Got Talent'!

I totally agree...THESE GIRLS RULE.

I'd like more of that kind of music. My daddy used to sing things like that to me and I think it's awesome.

Wow! Music as I grew up with. You young ladies did a great asset and great value to that song. Thank you all.

[@christianwarawa721]

Amazing! Best cover of this song yet! Such a good oldie song!

[@cathymorrison22]

If you girls aren't already members of Sweet Adelines International you need to find a local chapter and join. I was in SAI for 13 years and sang bass. Our chorus won Regional championship twice while I was in it and then we competed in the International Championships. We were considered a small chorus on that level and the larger choruses tend to win International. But they also have quartet championships and you girls could go on to become the Queens of Barbershop if you competed.

[@judiecochill8532]

Thanks Be!! Sweet Adelines live still, and the young generational ladies were spot on!! You Go, Sweet High School Quartet!! I'm a Veteran Vocalist who still loves to sing an I enjoyed your performance -sounds like your captive audience did, as well!BLESSINGS ABOUND

[@jotrani924]

Cathy, I sang with the Brooklyn, Staten Island, Liberty Oak and Hickory Tree chapters in Region 15. I sang tenor, baritone and bass. How about you? :)

@@jotrani924 Hi, Jo Trani, Lucky me, at 81 I'm still singing a bunch, for love now, but I got to guest sing with a local barbershop quartet back in Michigan, sang the Music Man 'duet a la "Dream of Now", In a chorus concert! Thanks Be to church choirs for 63 years and counting!

[@analdelrey249]

i think performances are only given 2 minutes so they had to hurry(?)

It changes from cut time to common time

Boy, this brought back memories of all of the years I sang with the Sweet Adelines! The Chord Poppers from Massapequa, NY did a great version of this song back in the 1970’s. Well done ladies! :)

I used to sing Bass in a barbershop Quartet. I also remember the Chordettes singing this on the radio. You did a great job, the mix is 👌 right on. I downloaded it. I only do that for songs or groups I really ❤.

[@AndrewVelonis]

When they started out, I said Oh, too fast! Then they slowed way down. Funny , that. Overall, though, a fresh interpretation of a classic, while being faithful to the original.

They did a great job. Re. the 0.75 speed - That would have been closer to the slower tempo as sung by the Chordettes in the early '50s. Nice job, girls.
