It's so darned cool seeing a young couple appreciate the music I grew up on. You 2 are perfect together

[@Haziesmom2023]

AMEN!! You can sure say that again!!!

[@carollittle1059]

They were huge!!

[@delorespetree3243]

Love the diamonds little darling

[@joannevincent2035]

Dave Somerville was the lead singer - he co-founded the group in Canada in the 50s. He died of cancer in 2015.

[@markwilliams5606]

These young people have been listening to garbage long enough! 🤠🐎🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🥩✌️

[@Mark-iv7np]

LOVED IT,. Listening to this great song over 60 years still love it. Tom Jones and Englebert in their early 80s still sound great. This gentleman sounds fantastic!!

[@donaldwhite1928]

Are they amazing or WHAT!!!

[@9284vr]

The Diamonds were one of Canada's best exports....after all, the country is known for hard rocks/precious minerals/stones.

[@waynebratton9813]

The Diamonds are from Canada, Great music and thank you two so much for playing this classic song

[@carollittle1059]

This song brought back the cha cha to teens on Bandstand.

[@joevoshalike7114]

That was a PBS special for Doo Wop music of the 50's You should watch the show

[@karensegner4505]

Loved that show.

[@markthoele1808]

It’s great to see your appreciation for the music of the 50’s and 60’s

[@barrywood7322]

As you love this group/song there are two British groups from the 70s called The Rubetts and Showaddywaddy who sound so similar I loved them as a young kid.

[@ajruther67]

*I gave you the link. I am SO glad you did it! I told you that this video is a must watch because they sound amazing after all these years!*

[@markwilliams5606]

Thanks Canada! Dig it. Detroit

[@christinalikoski4937]

Good on you young lady really enjoyed it THANK YOU Australia 💕 Christina

[@ginny5937]

Yes, and so CLASSY! ❤ 👏👏👏

[@carolgranados4892]

Love you guys, best reactors!

[@peterhudgens8817]

Folks, check them out when they performed on American Bandstand

[@mamaasaiz]

They haven't lost a step!

[@discus1713]

I just bought this 45rpm vinyl last week!!!

[@johngiovine8792]

I love your reaction channel, especially these oldies! Dave Summerville is the lead singer of the Diamonds, Fantastic group indeed!

[@josephvanchierijr.2486]

Absolutely amazing!

[@tammynelson9343]

When singers have true talent if their voices only, it doesn't matter how much time passes, it will always be there

[@Polyphemus47]

It just warms my heart to see you youngsters rockin' out to my first favorite vocal group. I was 10 years old in '57. The Diamonds lifted me right off the planet. You gotta hear the original versions of "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)" and "Walkin' Along" - pure pop to bop yer top off. LOVE this!

[@Polyphemus47]

PS - the original record was recorded by The Gladiolas, with Maurice Williams ("Stay"), who wrote this one. Gotta check it out! Not as slick, but still very nice version.

[@jaleesaheath2746]

I love when they still have fun singing songs they’ve sang for years and they can still sing

[@MrsMillwall]

Had this on 78rpm when I was little, loved it, used to sing my lungs out along with it lol Eddie Holman live Hey There lonely Girl is delicious, was the song in the early 70's that would be the last dance in whatever club our disco you was in, happy days ⭐

[@rosemariediamond7855]

The original “boy bands”!!!!! Never gets old

[@lisatonzi9728]

Please react to The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes for You"..... you will take each other and dance in your living room.....

[@jad4680]

"the flamingos i only have eyes for you" the greatest doo wop song and one of the best love songs of any generation for reaction PLEASE!! ; )

[@Concetta20]

That song was actually a popular 1940’s crooner song, but the Flamingos took it to a whole ‘mother level with their cover. ❤

[@traceyraffle6675]

They still sound fantastic!!!

[@Rockaria23]

The Diamonds continue to tour to this day with the line-up of Gary Owens (baritone), Adam David Marino (tenor), Michael Lawrence (lead) and Jeff Dolan (bass), although none of the members are from the original group. 3 of the 4 original members died in 2004, 2010 & 2015.

[@carollittle1059]

Saw them live at a Doo Wop concert.

[@kentclark6420]

They do a good job of sounding like the original.

[@oldermusiclover]

loved the lead singer he was so good looking

[@MJTheDJ1964]

I met Lead singer Dave Somerville just before he passed. He kept going nearly till the very end!

[@willowb1527]

YESSSSSSS (screaming) so glad to see you they're still around and they're still singing all of them bring their own neatness. But my favorite is the la la la guy. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@carolespinoza8469]

They are on fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Oldie but goodies. 💞💞💞💞

[@davisworth5114]

Great all time classic, please check out THE INK SPOTS "We Three", "The Gypsy", "If I Didn't Care", you can't miss these guys!!!!!

[@carollittle1059]

Please play, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, The Tokens. Another great Doo Wop icons still doing shows today.

[@bertusvanhal8855]

💖💖 it's good to hear good old songs, THANK YOU

[@827dusty]

PBS actually had a 3-hour special called "My Music," and it had a lot of those old "Doo-Wop" singing groups from the 1950s. Of course, some of them have passed away, being in their 80s and even 90s by now. If you can get a hold of this video, (You tube) it's so good.

[@jacquelineford9765]

You're so right. That's my favorite part of pledge break. Thank you TJ Lubinsky for your love of old school music.

[@Pixiesmom]

This was my brother's favorite! He walked around the house singing it ALL the time.

[@helenmalina799]

You two make my day...so much love e happiness your sharing ❤

[@dianaperry1929]

Loved it, thanx guys…❤️🦘🇦🇺

[@melindaatha2665]

I just love watching you two!

[@chetpietras8402]

Wow guys....Congrats for someone FINALLY reacting to the Golden Era of Doo Wop from the 50's...Thank You!! Absolutely LOVED THIS!! Do MORE!!

[@suzanneprock7286]

This song reminds me of my parents when we were young, they used to dance to this song in the living room entertaining us three girls. There's really not much difference at all in their sound 60 years later, so awesome!

[@jvsmith7888]

It's so much fun watching you guys enjoy yourselves. The Diamonds were Dave Sommerville (lead singer), Ted Kolwalski (la la guy), Phil Levitt (deep voice guy), and Bill Reed. After "Little Darlin' their biggest hit was a song called "The Stroll" which was also a popular dance in the 1950's.

[@debratroeak77]

They still got it! This was very impressive. I love that you both are reacting to these oldies, these songs are gems 💎

[@REDHORSE5541]

I LOVE your enthusiasm! I had tears just watching ya'll.

[@purcie0001]

brilliant reaction guys , you are old souls in young bodies , keep it up

[@osocool1too]

I was a child of the 1950s, and music like this was on the radio all the time...I loved this golden era. 👍

[@56music64]

lovely gentlemen, how can you not smile. So polished after so long. I wonder how many times they have sung this song. Great

[@fannyprice7529]

It was a beautiful production. By PBS that my late Mother - an original doo wop teen of the 50s- loved so much. It brought back so many memories for so many. A few passed away after this performance- their beautiful last moments of stage glory. Thank you ❤️❤️

[@kathifielder1110]

Awesome!! Please react to Elvis singing "Little Darlin' " just for fun in a 1975 concert.

[@jehovahs1]

You need to watch Johnnie Ray sing cry....BTW you guys are so awesome to watch

[@BelleDede01]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing the 50's oldies and keeping this music alive. Love that you enjoyed it as much as many of us still do. this was a special PBS Magic Moments Hits from the 50's production and the man responsible for getting all the singers back together on stage after all these years worked hard to bring them back to life. I can't provide the link, but there are many links to each of the singers. Love from Canada

[@WyldPinky]

I'm so happy that I grew up listening to oldies with my aunts and uncles! There aren't many current singers that can sound that good naturally.

[@Juan08135]

This song makes me so happy I cry tears of joy to this classic. Just can't explain why I love this song so much 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@jeffharry9675]

What an uplifting sound! Now, how about Junior Walker and the All-stars singing What Does It Take To Win Your Love? It is fantastic.

[@SQUATCHY614]

Always loved this group. The vocals from the 50’s doowap are timeless. Early rock is great. Makes you wanna dance and puts a smile on your face.

[@micheledash7269]

It was a great great moment in music history when they were together again. I have binge watched the original and this one many many times. Just pure joy to hear and to watch!

[@HoniMama]

Hey Fam great reaction as always and Thanks for sharing 💗💙

[@GaryDouglas-lj5bz]

I was just as excited about this song back in 1957 as an 11-year-old as you are today!! I have never, ever tired of it. So nice to see you two reacting to it.

[@jessileerichy]

This was amazing!! Thank you for sharing this! They sound perfectly!! This was great

[@willieb3765]

The Diamonds were a Canadian group who "crossed" the border with their music. This song was written by Maurice Williams in '57. Williams later was lead singer for the Zodiacs

[@rosyv9436]

Oh yesssss It’s incredible how great they still sound 👍👍👍👍👍👍 They sound just the same That is amazing 😁😁👍👍 💙❤️💚💜💙❤️💚💜💙💚

[@The1958Rocker]

Glad you saw the difference. This is the perfect example of the difference between old school singers, and people today. 👍

[@chrisclose7793]

these classic songs will never get old me and my wife were born in the 80s and we love these classic 50s tracks just so catchy and can never tire of hearing them

[@robertclarke8456]

TALENT PURE TALENT PLUS A LITTLE STAR QUALITY GOES A LONG WAY. FANTASTIC MUSIC.👑👑👑👑

[@starababa1985]

Even the piano player looked like he was having a great time!

[@josephstanton4872]

This song, a DOO WOP classic, has endured for over 60 yrs! Is on the soundtrack of American Graffiti!

[@RockinJohnny]

Thanks for this guys its great to see these cats are still rockin after all these years. They sound the same 100 per cent spot on like it was the 50s. Like Dion (Dion and the Belmonts) he still sounds great in his 80s too and still plays well and sings extremely well, long live Rock and Roll and the 50s sound

[@opaulamorgan4265]

In 1957- I loved this song as much as Mel! Iplayed it over and over on my little 45 rpm record player.🎥🎥📼

[@FUBAR1986]

Love you two....

[@hall230]

Love your reaction to one of my favorite songs! I first heard Little Darlin' back in 1990 when I was 10 years old when my mom bought me a cassette of 1950s music. The lead singer is David Somerville & the bassman is Bill Reed. The guy with the high voice is Ted Kowalski & Phil Levitt is the 4th member. Sadly, Phil is the last surviving original member. Their music will always live on! They were from Toronto Canada, my hometown. Check out the original studio recording of Little Darlin'.

[@christineobrien7707]

I saw these guys at a fair in Massachusetts when i was a teenager (80s) It was pretty cool watching people dancing to their song The Stroll. It obviously brought back great memories for those folks. 😎👍

[@stefandaes3066]

This is still the greatest 1950's Rock N Roll songs...its sweet,comical and upbeat

[@publicclammer]

I grew up with these guys!!! !Thank you so much for giving them the love!!

[@markwilliams5606]

Thanks again Canada! Something by the Guess Who.🤠🇺🇸🐎🥞✌️ CKLW radio Detroit

[@aec9174]

I love this song! It was released in February 1957 - a month before I was born!

[@taragreenetarotastro]

wow this was a hit in 1957 and my dad played it on the record player. He would sing along and dance with me and he called me his "Llttle Darlin" The Diamonds were form Toronto where my parents and i was born. Wow they were still great after all those years.

[@alex_harnar_618]

I grew up listening to this song along with tons of mid to late 1950’s songs at my grandparents house ever since I was a toddler. Sadly my grandfather is no longer alive, he passed away back in September unexpectedly to a stoke, but he introduced me to some great catchy timeless tunes. :’) (This was one of his top favorite songs.)

[@brasschuckles3138]

This is literally one of my all time favorite songs! Your first video of this made me cry when y’all reacted the way you did. It was amazing to see someone react and feel the way I do about music. I was the kid when all my friends listen to Rap or Metal or whatever, I was rocking this. I would skateboard to oldies for hours. Thank you for these amazing videos, many blessings!❤

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

Back then you needed true talent. No autotune. So good.

[@markliebermann7147]

Thank you!!!!!

[@anitawright7169]

This is so amazing! They do sound like they did back then! Love your reactions!

[@harrietetter9321]

1956 -- freshman in college -- riding thru the rockies at night-- in the snow -- we all knew every word

[@barnowl5774]

Don't you just love Doo-Wop?!. The Tokens also did "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in their senior years. Please checkout more of the MANY Doo-Wop groups, a number who have still performed into their later years.

[@wifeoftim]

You two are so cute and I love that you young folks like music from my younger days!

[@sandralorenz1796]

I've always loved this song. Thank you for doing this.

[@carolcjh8938]

You both make me smile from ear to ear. Thank you!

[@geraldstorseth8902]

This was from a PBS pledge drive special. Many, many original stars!!!😁

[@carolreynolds3650]

Loved this when it came out, still love it today!! Thanks for the memories children!!!

[@frankmartinez4856]

Since getting into Rockabilly 😅get to still see lots of these groups 🎉that are still around 😢

[@melissagerber7231]

So great that they still sounded the same.

[@lovcymaribeth4081]

PBS did some great shows on Doo Wop bringing old groups together to sing again. You should react to Jerry Butler, The Ice Man, and Your Precious Love. He actually hosted one of these specials.

[@daphnefrench5517]

Shawn And Mel - You Have Great Reactions , You Two Are Awesome , God Bless

[@cindyp1033]

Amazing! I was only 7 when this came out but I remember every word!🤩

[@lawelldecker1967]

I THINK I WAS HEADED INTO MY TEENAGE YEARS WHEN THAT SONG CAME OUT__WE SANG UNDER THE STREET LIGHTS ON THE CORNERS___EVERY STREET CORNER GROUP SANG THAT SONG___WE HAD FUN BACK THEN___WISH THOSE DAYS WOULD RETURN

[@Nefarioso]

Back in the early 1970's, used to see David Sommerville perform with Bruce Belland of the 4 Preps as Belland & Sommerville at the Ice House in Pasadena, CA. Those were the days.

[@oldermusiclover]

you two crack me up watching this always fun to see someone like the oldies

[@Zebred2001]

Shawn and Mel! You guys did this to me with your reaction to Average White Band's - A Love Of Your Own! I've been playing your reaction over and over! Now it's one of my all-time favorite songs (and reactions)!

[@banjo8704]

I've just spent the entire evening with you enjoying some great music. Your reactions made it so much fun..THANK YOU.

[@donaldduck2139]

that concert had all the old groups singing their hits... but that concert was even a quite a few years back now

[@charlesklein1224]

Still sound the same, and it looks like their still having fun.

[@guygrip9634]

THOSE GUYS BRING TEARS IN MY EYES I MISS THEM. MY DAD BOUGHT ME THAT 45.
