Sha Na Na ~Dream Lover

^^I^^ Danny boy

[@Tonithenightowl]

All these guys could sing or they wouldn't have been in the band. That's what made Sha na na special... when they did a cover it was as good or better than the original.

[@LisaKoffler]

You said it!

[@chrisskalski7292]

All these guys are great performers.

[@ramadama2613]

Great performance by Dan

[@DandyDoesIt]

Dirty Dan was always my favorite!

[@LisaKoffler]

It's always sad when a former group member dies.

[@patricktee6496]

bring back memories

[@lindasheperd512]

Luv,luv luv Sha Na Na!

[@michaellazzeri9439]

These guys were just so talented, I think it's possibly why they were so overlooked by ' serious " music people. ---------------I loved them.-------------------------MJL, 74 y/o

[@LisaKoffler]

Anything's possible. I'm just glad they were in the movie "Grease!"

[@brccspa202]

Fantastic!

[@daintyWatch]

Oh yummie ! I wouldn't have expected Dan to do this song, but he did great !!!

[@LisaKoffler]

ALL of them sing great!

[@jessiejames7492]

i think Bobby Darin would be pleased with his rendition

[@wesleycook7687]

Very good.

[@Wolfsky9]

Dan was fantastic---------------such a loss when he left. ----------------------------WolfSky9

[@LisaKoffler]

Such a loss when he died. R.I.P.

In 1984, I was working for a traffic reporting service in L.A. With the Summer Olympics coming to town, our management decided to add extra staff in order to better cover the roads. There was much anticipation that the usually heavy traffic in town would be made worse with all of the events going on, especially on some days when events were converging in close proximity to one another. One of the people that was hired as an anchor was Dan, who by then, had left Sha Na Na. I worked with him in studio and as a reporter in one of our planes. He was a lot of fun to be around, and in between reports, would answer our questions about his days with Sha Na Na and share behind-the-scenes stories. I was sad when I learned he had passed away...we had lost touch several years before that time, and that made his passing that much more sad for me. I would have liked it if we had been in better contact. A few years before this, I was working at a radio station in Palm Springs, and Dan came into town to voice some commercials for a local business. I engineered the session, and we had a good time working on the project. Seeing the videos from the show here brings back some really nice memories!!! Miss you Dan...RIP.

[@jessiejames7492]

why did he leave the group

[@jessiejames7492]

Nice memories to hsve.

[@MarkInChicagoSuburbs]

@@jessiejames7492 I don't recall why he decided to leave Sha Na Na in 1980 when their syndicated tv show was going into its 4th season. He was with them when they appeared in the movie "Grease" as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers in the scene where a national music show that resembled "American Bandstand" was broadcast from Rydell High. I did enjoy working with him during the two weeks of the 1984 Summer Olympics.

"Johnnyette?" I never heard that before! Johnny did sing this song in another video, and he has a dreamy smile!

someone seriously needs to invent a time machine

[@LisaKoffler]

Not necessarily. Our time machine is KZbin!

[@saranellkaufmann7358]

This my favorite of his

[@Sally-lm1fd]

You are so beautiful to look at Danny

[@dawnweir1200]

I saw sha. na na in concert but I did not get to see Dirty Dan I wish I could have I loved him singing dream lover

[@LisaKoffler]

If Dirty Dan wasn't there, who sang the song instead?

[@Nemesis7293]

Dan was so freakin' gorgeous!

[@LujeanK]

YES!

[@LisaKoffler]

He wasn't my taste. Johnny was!

1st Time that I heard Danny sing gr8 job.

[@LisaKoffler]

ALL of the members were outstanding singers! Otherwise, they wouldn't be in the group!

[@daintyWatch]

I want to travel back in time !!!

[@LisaKoffler]

You don't need to, because KZbin is a time machine all in itself!

[@crow672008]

better than the crap on tv today

[@joant1951]

excellent job Dirty Dan

[@jessiejames7492]

i like this version as much as I did Bobby Darin's.....shouldnt be , But I do !

[@Veggieman87]

This is the only song I've ever seen Danny as a featured singer, let alone lead.

[@LisaKoffler]

Really? I can't remember whether or not I've ever heard him sing anything else, but I know he did.

[@shelleyjackson4827]

I believe that Donny would also do this song righteous !

[@LisaKoffler]

There's no doubt about that!

[@Daeulla]

love love love!! I was hoping to see this one!

[@sportshistorybuff319]

I had forgotten that Dan left Sha Na Na before its last season. I believe it was a mutually happy parting in spite of some rumors.

[@Sally-lm1fd]

Hi Danny I love you miss you

[@noosmum]

[@LisaKoffler]

I went to Sha Na Na's website, and they're now down to 7 members. "Screamin" Scott, Donny, and Jocko are the only original members left.

@hrhlauradi after mention that I listened to it I went looking for it. I may have gotten it confused with another song I liked back then that Sha Na Na had on the album I liked. "Tell Laura I Love Her". After looking all over for Last Kiss I came up empty and blamed it on old age. :) Instead I had to listen to the Pearl Jam cover which was not a bad version.

[@Sally-lm1fd]

Hi Danny boy My name is Sally

[@Sally-lm1fd]

You are so sweet and Hot chili sauce and you have to be with you guys

[@jessiejames7492]

yes i just saw that...they were always kidding around. And since santini was smiling..i guess it was in fun. But it could have been bcause Johnny , the lead singer didnt like it in his face ! :)

[@LisaKoffler]

Johnny sang this song on another video.

[@user-tg1mi1qc6x]

from　okinawa　JapanThank　you　this.

[@hrhlauradi]

I found it but it's not by Sha Na Na..it is by the Cavaliers (original). I thought I had an album with Sha Na Na doing "Last Kiss" guess my memory failed on that one lol.

[@alfonsogreen2722]

Dirty Dan gone 2 soon

Does anyone know if they did Last Kiss? I thought I remember them doing it.

[@LisaKoffler]

Yes, they did.

[@noosmum]

@hrhlauradi another song i really really love if u find it let me know xxx

[@jessiejames7492]

i suppose they got along like any other famous band. there were good t imes and bad ...i ws shocked to read recently that Barry Gibb say that towards the end of his brothers'deaths , they were not talking and pretty much out of touch with each other ! The Beatles did that too....So its good and bad.

[@LisaKoffler]

It's always sad when groups break up. Thankfully, Sha Na Na is STILL around, despite the fact that only "Screamin'" Scott, Donny, and Jocko are the only original members left in the group.

[@LisaKoffler]
