It's so darned cool seeing a young couple appreciate the music I grew up on. You 2 are perfect together

[@Haziesmom2023]

AMEN!! You can sure say that again!!!

[@Mark-iv7np]

LOVED IT,. Listening to this great song over 60 years still love it. Tom Jones and Englebert in their early 80s still sound great. This gentleman sounds fantastic!!

[@ajruther67]

*I gave you the link. I am SO glad you did it! I told you that this video is a must watch because they sound amazing after all these years!*

[@markwilliams5606]

Thanks Canada! Dig it. Detroit

[@christinalikoski4937]

Good on you young lady really enjoyed it THANK YOU Australia 💕 Christina

[@ginny5937]

Yes, and so CLASSY! ❤ 👏👏👏

[@joannevincent2035]

Dave Somerville was the lead singer - he co-founded the group in Canada in the 50s. He died of cancer in 2015.

[@markwilliams5606]

These young people have been listening to garbage long enough! 🤠🐎🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🥩✌️

[@starababa1985]

Even the piano player looked like he was having a great time!

[@9284vr]

The Diamonds were one of Canada's best exports....after all, the country is known for hard rocks/precious minerals/stones.

[@GaryDouglas-lj5bz]

I was just as excited about this song back in 1957 as an 11-year-old as you are today!! I have never, ever tired of it. So nice to see you two reacting to it.

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

Back then you needed true talent. No autotune. So good.

[@jvsmith7888]

It's so much fun watching you guys enjoy yourselves. The Diamonds were Dave Sommerville (lead singer), Ted Kolwalski (la la guy), Phil Levitt (deep voice guy), and Bill Reed. After "Little Darlin' their biggest hit was a song called "The Stroll" which was also a popular dance in the 1950's.

[@waynebratton9813]

The Diamonds are from Canada, Great music and thank you two so much for playing this classic song

[@Rockaria23]

The Diamonds continue to tour to this day with the line-up of Gary Owens (baritone), Adam David Marino (tenor), Michael Lawrence (lead) and Jeff Dolan (bass), although none of the members are from the original group. 3 of the 4 original members died in 2004, 2010 & 2015.

[@carollittle1059]

Saw them live at a Doo Wop concert.

[@kentclark6420]

They do a good job of sounding like the original.

[@oldermusiclover]

loved the lead singer he was so good looking

[@MJTheDJ1964]

I met Lead singer Dave Somerville just before he passed. He kept going nearly till the very end!

[@jaleesaheath2746]

I love when they still have fun singing songs they’ve sang for years and they can still sing

[@markthoele1808]

It’s great to see your appreciation for the music of the 50’s and 60’s

[@robertclarke8456]

TALENT PURE TALENT PLUS A LITTLE STAR QUALITY GOES A LONG WAY. FANTASTIC MUSIC.👑👑👑👑

[@debratroeak77]

They still got it! This was very impressive. I love that you both are reacting to these oldies, these songs are gems 💎

[@josephvanchierijr.2486]

Absolutely amazing!

[@bertusvanhal8855]

💖💖 it's good to hear good old songs, THANK YOU

[@REDHORSE5541]

I LOVE your enthusiasm! I had tears just watching ya'll.

[@traceyraffle6675]

They still sound fantastic!!!

[@56music64]

lovely gentlemen, how can you not smile. So polished after so long. I wonder how many times they have sung this song. Great

[@carollittle1059]

This song brought back the cha cha to teens on Bandstand.

[@dianaperry1929]

Loved it, thanx guys…❤️🦘🇦🇺

[@davisworth5114]

Great all time classic, please check out THE INK SPOTS "We Three", "The Gypsy", "If I Didn't Care", you can't miss these guys!!!!!

[@fannyprice7529]

It was a beautiful production. By PBS that my late Mother - an original doo wop teen of the 50s- loved so much. It brought back so many memories for so many. A few passed away after this performance- their beautiful last moments of stage glory. Thank you ❤️❤️

[@Pixiesmom]

This was my brother's favorite! He walked around the house singing it ALL the time.

[@carolespinoza8469]

They are on fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Oldie but goodies. 💞💞💞💞

[@delorespetree3243]

Love the diamonds little darling

[@markliebermann7147]

Thank you!!!!!

[@helenmalina799]

You two make my day...so much love e happiness your sharing ❤

[@joevoshalike7114]

That was a PBS special for Doo Wop music of the 50's You should watch the show

[@karensegner4505]

Loved that show.

[@discus1713]

I just bought this 45rpm vinyl last week!!!

[@carollittle1059]

They were huge!!

[@Polyphemus47]

It just warms my heart to see you youngsters rockin' out to my first favorite vocal group. I was 10 years old in '57. The Diamonds lifted me right off the planet. You gotta hear the original versions of "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)" and "Walkin' Along" - pure pop to bop yer top off. LOVE this!

[@Polyphemus47]

PS - the original record was recorded by The Gladiolas, with Maurice Williams ("Stay"), who wrote this one. Gotta check it out! Not as slick, but still very nice version.

[@827dusty]

PBS actually had a 3-hour special called "My Music," and it had a lot of those old "Doo-Wop" singing groups from the 1950s. Of course, some of them have passed away, being in their 80s and even 90s by now. If you can get a hold of this video, (You tube) it's so good.

[@jacquelineford9765]

You're so right. That's my favorite part of pledge break. Thank you TJ Lubinsky for your love of old school music.

[@carolgranados4892]

Love you guys, best reactors!

[@carollittle1059]

Please play, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, The Tokens. Another great Doo Wop icons still doing shows today.

[@suzanneprock7286]

This song reminds me of my parents when we were young, they used to dance to this song in the living room entertaining us three girls. There's really not much difference at all in their sound 60 years later, so awesome!

[@MrsMillwall]

Had this on 78rpm when I was little, loved it, used to sing my lungs out along with it lol Eddie Holman live Hey There lonely Girl is delicious, was the song in the early 70's that would be the last dance in whatever club our disco you was in, happy days ⭐

[@The1958Rocker]

Glad you saw the difference. This is the perfect example of the difference between old school singers, and people today. 👍

[@mamaasaiz]

They haven't lost a step!

[@johngiovine8792]

I love your reaction channel, especially these oldies! Dave Summerville is the lead singer of the Diamonds, Fantastic group indeed!

[@SQUATCHY614]

Always loved this group. The vocals from the 50’s doowap are timeless. Early rock is great. Makes you wanna dance and puts a smile on your face.

[@barrywood7322]

As you love this group/song there are two British groups from the 70s called The Rubetts and Showaddywaddy who sound so similar I loved them as a young kid.

[@peterhudgens8817]

Folks, check them out when they performed on American Bandstand

[@melindaatha2665]

I just love watching you two!

[@jessileerichy]

This was amazing!! Thank you for sharing this! They sound perfectly!! This was great

[@rosemariediamond7855]

The original “boy bands”!!!!! Never gets old

[@lisatonzi9728]

Please react to The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes for You"..... you will take each other and dance in your living room.....

[@sandralorenz1796]

I've always loved this song. Thank you for doing this.

[@chrisclose7793]

these classic songs will never get old me and my wife were born in the 80s and we love these classic 50s tracks just so catchy and can never tire of hearing them

[@tammynelson9343]

When singers have true talent if their voices only, it doesn't matter how much time passes, it will always be there

[@BelleDede01]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing the 50's oldies and keeping this music alive. Love that you enjoyed it as much as many of us still do. this was a special PBS Magic Moments Hits from the 50's production and the man responsible for getting all the singers back together on stage after all these years worked hard to bring them back to life. I can't provide the link, but there are many links to each of the singers. Love from Canada

[@FUBAR1986]

Love you two....

[@publicclammer]

I grew up with these guys!!! !Thank you so much for giving them the love!!

[@jad4680]

"the flamingos i only have eyes for you" the greatest doo wop song and one of the best love songs of any generation for reaction PLEASE!! ; )

[@Concetta20]

That song was actually a popular 1940’s crooner song, but the Flamingos took it to a whole ‘mother level with their cover. ❤

[@chetpietras8402]

Wow guys....Congrats for someone FINALLY reacting to the Golden Era of Doo Wop from the 50's...Thank You!! Absolutely LOVED THIS!! Do MORE!!

[@donaldwhite1928]

Are they amazing or WHAT!!!

[@Juan08135]

This song makes me so happy I cry tears of joy to this classic. Just can't explain why I love this song so much 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@WyldPinky]

I'm so happy that I grew up listening to oldies with my aunts and uncles! There aren't many current singers that can sound that good naturally.

[@kathifielder1110]

Awesome!! Please react to Elvis singing "Little Darlin' " just for fun in a 1975 concert.

[@purcie0001]

brilliant reaction guys , you are old souls in young bodies , keep it up

[@micheledash7269]

It was a great great moment in music history when they were together again. I have binge watched the original and this one many many times. Just pure joy to hear and to watch!

[@carolcjh8938]

You both make me smile from ear to ear. Thank you!

[@anitawright7169]

This is so amazing! They do sound like they did back then! Love your reactions!

[@HoniMama]

Hey Fam great reaction as always and Thanks for sharing 💗💙

[@opaulamorgan4265]

In 1957- I loved this song as much as Mel! Iplayed it over and over on my little 45 rpm record player.🎥🎥📼

[@harrietetter9321]

1956 -- freshman in college -- riding thru the rockies at night-- in the snow -- we all knew every word

[@osocool1too]

I was a child of the 1950s, and music like this was on the radio all the time...I loved this golden era. 👍

[@RockinJohnny]

Thanks for this guys its great to see these cats are still rockin after all these years. They sound the same 100 per cent spot on like it was the 50s. Like Dion (Dion and the Belmonts) he still sounds great in his 80s too and still plays well and sings extremely well, long live Rock and Roll and the 50s sound

[@jehovahs1]

You need to watch Johnnie Ray sing cry....BTW you guys are so awesome to watch

[@cindyp1033]

Amazing! I was only 7 when this came out but I remember every word!🤩

[@rosyv9436]

[@daphnefrench5517]

I love this song! It was released in February 1957 - a month before I was born!

[@oldermusiclover]

you two crack me up watching this always fun to see someone like the oldies

[@laurastormgarcia4353]

❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️With love to you both, always, Laura💞

[@willieb3765]

The Diamonds were a Canadian group who "crossed" the border with their music. This song was written by Maurice Williams in '57. Williams later was lead singer for the Zodiacs

[@taragreenetarotastro]

wow this was a hit in 1957 and my dad played it on the record player. He would sing along and dance with me and he called me his "Llttle Darlin" The Diamonds were form Toronto where my parents and i was born. Wow they were still great after all those years.

[@melissagerber7231]

So great that they still sounded the same.

[@christineobrien7707]

I saw these guys at a fair in Massachusetts when i was a teenager (80s) It was pretty cool watching people dancing to their song The Stroll. It obviously brought back great memories for those folks. 😎👍

[@Mattdirk59]

Loved it!!! Timeless!

[@geraldstorseth8902]

This was from a PBS pledge drive special. Many, many original stars!!!😁

[@jeffharry9675]
