HE'S SHOCKED!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Chordettes - Mr.Sandman REACTION

[@ClaudeJordan-rh4zx]

The harmonies were ALWAYS excellent from 70's back...NO AUTOTUNE!!! Real VOCALS, REAL talent!!

[@doylescordy]

I learned a while back that autotune actually wasn't used for the first time until 1998 in Cher's song "Believe". I thought it was older.

[@ML-jk3sz]

THANK YOU for the info.

[@ClaudeJordan-rh4zx]

@@doylescordy maybe not popular 'til then.

[@mscommerce]

@@doylescordy Older? No way. People actually perfected their voices and ear for musical notes.

[@paul.kristoff]

​@@ClaudeJordan-rh4zx It was invented in 1996, but wasn't used to distort vocals in a song until Cher did it in 1998. Perfect example of how blanket statements about how autotune is rubbish are simplistic. Yes there are some artists who cannot sing and use autotune to cover the fact, but people have been distorting vocals using tech forever. There are many great singers today, naturally talented, who use autotune as an instrument in certain songs to achieve a desired effect. That doesn't mean that they can't sing. Again, Cher is a perfect example. No one would argue that Cher cannot sing, but Believe wouldn't be as good of a song if it wasn't for autotune.

"Mr. Sandman " was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 7 weeks (released near the end of 1954, peaking in 1955). The Chordettes were originally from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Between 1954 - 1961, they charted 14 singles in the Hot 100, 4 in the Top 10 including their only #1.

Very cool old school. I love how you two are open-minded to the "old" stuff. This was old when I was young and I'm old. If you analyse music from old to now, all generes, you can really see how one builds on and from the other. You should try some from the "big band" era. Amber, you'll love all the horns. Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Les Brown and sooo many more. Plus you'll discover "Torch Singers", (lady crooners). Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, (and my mind just went blank). "Mr. Sandman" was an evolution of those styles.

One reason music from that age has such a different quality is that it was recorded all together. Instruments, voices, etc. all at one time rather than the overdubbing we do today.

The music from way back was very simplistic. Just pure vocals and talant. The music of the 40's - 70's is what I grew up with. Big band sound of the 30's and 40's orchestras to back up the vocals of the best artists of the times. All of this great instrumentation gone by the wayside with the advent vent of heavy metal bands that just pump out loud sounds they call music. And now it's electronic noise that is the music behind much of today's music. More of the old songs please. More Sinatra Dean Martin: Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime ( Live from London). For tHe Good Times ( Live from his tv show), Sammy Davis Jr. The Birth of the Blues (Live video ..on a staircase) Bang Bang (video from the movie, Robin and the 7 Hoods). I've Gotta Be Me ( live). The Mills Brothers ( Live on the Dean Martin Show) Dean joins in singing ...Up a Lazy River...with them. Also see the Mills Bros. Sing Basin Street Blues with the Boston Pops orchestra....there is some surprise instrumentation. You won't be sorry to listen to any of these from above. Also From the movie Sun Valley Serenade (1941)watch the videos of the Glen Miller Band doing "In The Mood" and Chattanooga Choo Choo. That's the Big Band Sound.

My Mom's era of music, she would play the music she liked when she was growing up so we got a very broad exposure to music. Girl Groups were The Thing in the 50's and 60's like boy bands of the 90's. LOL Awesome Music. thanks for the smiles.

We need more good music like this,sad to say the stuff they call music today is not music, before 1990 was real music, love you both keep up the good work❤❤❤❤❤

Little Anthony, tears on my Pillow. You have to give it a listen.

This type of vocal harmonies can also be heard being masterfully done by The Free Design with 'Kites Are Fun' and 'Love You'. The Jamies with 'Summertime, Summertime' is great too.

It sounds simple because of the sparse (but varied) instrumentation. Those vocals are hitting those close chords exactly where they have to be. Not simple at all. This happens to be one of my favorite songs from that era. Thank you for sharing this charming song with us!

Back when people actually had to sing with great voices, no computer garbage.

This songnis amazing and has been used in sooooo many movies and commercials. It was used in Back 2 the Future and Uncle Buck...just a couple examples.

Alright my babies.... When I used to play my parents eight-track tapes, they had a 50s collection with this song on it. It certainly rocks for its time ‼️🔥💯🎤🎼🎶😜👍🏼

These lovely ladies were a woman's barbershop quartet that released excellent songs. Of note and little known fact. In this song the male "Sandman" voice that responds, "Yes?" To the question calling his name was provided by TV Bandstand MC Dick Clark.

This puts a smile on my face! I not only remember this, but I also have a file on my computer that I play periodically. Great pick Amber!
