Sha Na Na ~Little Darlin

[@ericdunn7352]

These guys need to be inducted into the rock-'n'-roll hall of fame and museum.

This one blew me away. Perfect in every way. So sorry we have lost four of them, may they rest in peace knowing the joy they brought to us.

I used to watch the show all the time never would miss it.

[@AlfredoEClark]

I wish I could hit the like button on this 1,000 times, it's that good. You can tell the professionalism and dedication to their craft, as well as the respect they had for the songs and the artists they were covering. You don't get to this level of musicianship unless you've worked on it to perfect it. I also remember watching an interview in which Jocko said that artists forget they're on a stage and that they're there to entertain, so they must use the whole stage and not just stand there. That's what was so awesome about Sha Na Na, the fact that they all backed each other up no matter whose turn it was to be the lead singer and they did the choreographies perfectly. Just great entertainers and performers. A truly talented group that I wish would have kept on doing this show for another 10 years. Love Sha Na Na from Panamá City, Panamá.

[@alissamariani5776]

So many good childhood memories of watching this show with my mom!
