This is an example of the group knowing their vocal strengths of who can do whatever the song they choose to perfrom the song extremely well. It's not only just Johnny, although he is remarkable, the others can do very well when the song calls for it. As I have said, they know who can do the song the best.

Johnny was outstandingly gifted, and you need to be that way to be part of the group, and ALL the members were just that!

I had the privilege of meeting “Bowser” on a cruise my wife and I took in 1999. He was very gracious and fun to talk to. I always looked forward to their TV show, and was disappointed when it was canned!
@LisaKoffler2 жыл бұрын
I was disappointed, too, and Johnny Contardo often sings with Bowzer on cruise ships. Did you and your wife meet him, too?

Takes me back to 1967 when my 17 YO bride and I were stationed in San Angelo, TX. Still together and been around the world thanks to the USAF. Sha Na Na were one of the most talented groups ever. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Faerydancer for posting this & other SNN videos! I discovered SNN back in 1969/1970 when I was a teenager. I loved their TV show in the late 70's. These guys ROCK!!!! I wish their TV was back on as there's not much on TV anymore; too many "reality" shows that are so unreal it's not funny!

That was one magnificent cover. I prefer the Jamies vocals, brother and sister with two backups for the quartet, but this was friggin outstanding.

Couldn’t find this song on their albums on iTunes, so I’m glad to see it here. Last time was 50 years ago on TV. Question: did they perform this live, or lip-sync to an earlier recording? Anyone, anyone?
@dhy53423 жыл бұрын
There were a few instances where lip movements didn't seem to match the vocal sound. I originally thought they were lip-synching the Jamies but I think they were doing their own pre-recording.
@LisaKoffler2 жыл бұрын
Lip-synching was rare with Sha Na Na. They mostly sang live.
@Buttermilkjug Жыл бұрын
@@LisaKoffler There wasn't a single episode of Sha Na Na that they weren't lip synching~ Only the person singing the lead part of the song had a live mic~ Saying it was rare of them to lip sync (especially when on television) is highly inaccurate~
