Sha Na Na - I'll Never Stop Loving You

Sha Na Na - I'll Never Stop Loving You with Bowzer and Johnny on lead.

[@irenedoyon9459]

Sha na na all the guys did an extraordinary job on this song especially Johnny and Bowzer! Phenomenal band. Never missed watching them on TV!!!

[@LisaKoffler]

I'll NEVER stop loving Sha Na Na!

[@kangadillo]

Love it, love it, love it! Yay Bowzer and Johnny!

[@Tonithenightowl]

Bowser and Johnny are incredible together in this song. Johnny can hit the high notes and Bowser the low ones. Fantastic !!!!!!!

[@LisaKoffler]

Aren't you glad they're STILL singing together - especially on entertainment cruise ships?

[@phantomangel21]

Johnny's voice could melt the coldest heart...what an awesome talent!!

[@LisaKoffler]

That depends on the individual person, since not everyone has the same tastes!

[@p.a.paolino9505]

As a straight guy who saw them four times in concert in the 1970's, I agree with you 100%.

[@paulmiller9237]

I love this music!!!

[@njacapelladoowopenthusiast8449]

They did justice to this street corner classic! John has some voice I remember as a kid watching with my old man..

[@LisaKoffler]

He prefers "Johnny," and he has MORE than some voice!

[@gopherscout]

Sha Na Na is Awesome! I watched their TV show in the late 70's, I was in my very early 20's; I was born in 1957! These videos are bringing back a lot of great memories! Thanks Faerydancer for posting this & the other SNN videos!

[@LisaKoffler]

I was born in 1967, which makes me 10 years younger than you, but I still loved the show!

[@dinofalcone6645]

Unbelievable talent

[@HisbeautifulTruth-nl1ch]

I listened to the original version and while it was good for it's time, Shanana really bumped it up. The same for Lucky Old Sun. These talented men really had their own flair.

[@lindaquarters2491]

He should have been making records, hes fantastic

[@SpriJones]

this is amazing.

[@kellybaron1848]

I love bowsers singing

[@LisaKoffler]

His bass voice always stands out!

No one will have you Bowser I love you guys

[@ElvisKing]

Very good! Great video 5*stars!! Thanks for sharing, Ivson.

[@mariekarole1621]

Thanks!!! I miss these guys! I bumped into them 1979 .

[@LisaKoffler]

I saw them in 1982 when I was a teenager when my father took me to see one of their concerts! I loved it!

[@doowopp45]

frickin awesome I absolutely love doo wop

[@dmljm]

Boy do i remember these guys thanx for Posting! Thanx for the share Ivson! TCB Danny

[@Tonithenightowl]

Johnny makes me weak in the knees. How dare he? lol Can you imagine being given a voice like that?

[@LisaKoffler]

"How dare he makes you weak in the knees?" How about: "How dare he outdoes everyone with his outstanding singing voice?" Being given a voice like his is a God given gift, and he went to the Boston Conservatory to perfect what he already had!

[@tonithenightowl1836]

@@LisaKoffler Yes and he should have been a much bigger star. Management is everything and he didn't have the right kind.

[@LisaKoffler]

Tonithenightowl, I agree!

[@NYredwhiteandblue]

Wow, I remember them too, I was born in 68 and I remember I couldn't wait to see Bowzer lol I never missed a show....:)

[@LisaKoffler]

I couldn't wait to watch the show just to dance and laugh my head off!

[@kirkstmoritz5587]

I'll Nevers Stop Loving You is very similar to The Dambusters March in places. Great tune with faultless vocals by Johnny as usual.

[@FunkMasterRio]

Tommy Regan - "Ill never stop loving you" (1964) is the original version.

[@chrisallison7456]

This was great entertainment growing up

[@joseharmonies]

beuatiful song and great performance, especially what concerns to the bassman. Great!

[@LisaKoffler]

Bowzer is the Number 1 Bass Man!

[@MarkTimeNY103]

this one is the best of the best

[@caterinaciman8568]

I have goosies! :-D Incredible performance by all. # Johnny Contardo!

[@LisaKoffler]

Don't you mean "goosebumps?" You're NOT the only one who feels that way! Johnny had girls all over him!

[@bloodytears2006]

I'm 32 year's and I sit in my mom bedroom listen to my lp records of Sha Na Na's and when they had reruns of the show I watch them ty so much posting the video brings back great memories.Bowzer Rules!!!!!!

Don't forget Johnny!

[@LisaKoffler]

So does Johnny!

[@sirdaveo]

Bring back music, please?

[@walthamgirl]

OMG faerydancer, all I can say is THANK YOU I never heard this one before once again thank you!

[@sweetipie1965]

Johnny was born in 51, he joined Sha Na Na in 71 when he was 19

[@LisaKoffler]

That's right! I'm 16 years younger than Johnny, and I was in nursery school back then!

[@moonrayz4]

this is a great hybrid of the Corvairs "True True Love" and the Marcels' "I'll Never Stop Loving Your". I appreciated the way they didn't always stick to the mainstream overplayed songs and despite their outfits and humor, they kept the doo wop real...

[@LisaKoffler]

Yes! Keeping Doo-wop real is NOT easy!

[@doowop4eva]

Great The Fist Song With Bowzer On Lead Is True True Love By The Corvaires

[@tommyoz777]

Wow everyone below is getting it either all wrong or half right. This is a medley of two different songs. The first one is "True True Love" - The Corvairs 1962. Look it up. Now the second song is an old standard written in the 50's. The version Sha Na Na is doing here is a doo wop version that Tommy Regan recorded and released in 1964. Look that up as well. The backup group to Tommy Regan's version is said to be The Marcels. However, there are a lot of people who are saying it was not them and that it was The Halos who also backed up Curtis Lee on Pretty Little Angel Eyes. Until I hear Tommy Regan, The Marcels or The Halos say it from their own mouths (not written somewhere), I'm not sure which one to believe.

[@rocknroll1955]

GREAT STUFF !!!!!!!!!!! ERIK VON

[@lorjokr]

Wow, faerydanceer, you know we can't thank you enough for addin all these great vids. I doubt Sony knows what a gold mine (no pun intended, LOL) they're standing on, if only they would release all these on DVD.

[@kinbigbird]

Today bowser is a dude in a game. This is the Bowser and sha na na at their best,BRING BACK DooWop I can still watch this though Thanks for the upload.Grease for Peace

[@alexanderanthony]

This is wonderful... And Gangnam Style has already almost 2 million views!!! This world is getting bored...

[@papawof4wv]

Gangnam was nothing more than a copy of "The Pony " dance style from the 60's.

[@mr.vintage4889]

3 billion views now...holy smokes.

[@Catsmeowonderful]

I wrote True True Love in 1962... The Dop Wop version of "I'll Never Stop Loving You" was not done until1964. Perhaps the name should be "True True Love Never Stops Loving You (A Medley)"

[@RugajRozoj]

Wait, what did I just read? YOU are the writer???

[@benedettogee]

The writer? The same song as the corvairs?

[@benedettogee]

Just did some research, it’s an honor to see your comment on here

[@LisaKoffler]

A medley is a wonderful idea!

You guys want me back please me feel let out I love you johnny

[@kinbigbird]

Grease for Peace!

[@jessicaallen901]

I just realized after all this time this is actually a combination of two doo wop songs. The corvairs actually sings Bowzer's part and a different group ( which I can't think of off the top of my head) sings Johnny's part

[@mcsina]

That's when music was *fun* not lyrics that beat up on women/girls or making everything so darn serious! Plus has fun upbeat dancing music wayyyyy back then!

[@LisaKoffler]

I always HATED music with violent lyrics, excessive profanity, sex, and drugs, because they have NO place in music!

[@faerydancer]

OMG I know! lol Makes me crack up.

[@VinelandNJ]

@robertacatholic... Doris Day had an "adult contemporary" hit with "I'll Never Stop Loving You" back in 1955, but in 1964, Tommy Reagan and The Halos "Doo-Wopped" it and enjoyed significant success... obviously the version Sha Na Na is covering is Tommy Reagan's.

[@p.a.paolino9505]

Would have loved to see Johnny Contardo sing, "Love Me With All Your Heart".

[@noosmum]

@ContardoholicFan Johnny is still the sexiest man alive, and the nicest too(sorry hubby) and I love him loads sixty is but a number, his voice is the same as ever, and i would sell my soul to be able to meet him , but distance is a problem , not to mention several hours of flying time!! But J. can rest assured that he is very much loved xx

[@LisaKoffler]

He'll always be loved by his fans!

[@PJDooWop]

Interesting.. Someone in Sha Na Na (or one of their producers) was really hardcore into doo wop. They start off with True True Love by The Corvairs and then I'll Never Stop Loving You by Tommy Reagan.. Sha Na Na does a great job on both records too

[@Tonithenightowl]

@999YORK I agree, they would have killed for the voices of Bowser and Johnny. How wonderful that they were able to recreate that era as Sha na na.

[@LisaKoffler]

Killing is NEVER a solution to anything, except self-defense if someone is trying to kill you! I'm sure some of the original singers of these songs had to be jealous of Sha Na Na singing their songs better!

[@tonithenightowl1836]

@@LisaKoffler Killed is an expression. It means something is outstanding which is envied ...but in a good way. I'd kill for hair like that. I'd kill for a voice like that. That meal was so good somebody just kill me, I ate too much. I just killed that test, I got a hundred on it. When I make a great dessert, hubby will say are you trying to kill me? It's a regional thing, not literal. It's a compliment.

Tonithenightowl, I understand. People say all kinds of crazy things when they really want something badly enough!

No it is actually "I'll Never Stop Loving you". Don't know if this is the original but here's an earlier version anyway - watch?v=iowbOWhv3Qc

Two questions. Will the Sha Na Na ever come on DVD and does Denny still sing now? I know that the rest of them are still involved with singing.

Denny Greene, Danny McBride, Chico Ryan, and Lennie Baker died. They're STILL not available on DVD because of licensing issues!
