Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home)

[@carobertson60]

I am a baby boomer. This was the era for great music. I still listen to all genres of music. I actually am a country music fan, but when I listen to this music that I grew up with, I wish all generations could have enjoyed it when it was available.

[@doowoplvr]

I was in a Woolworths in the Bronx, NY when I heard this song playing, bought it that day. The music of the 50's 60's was and always will be the best. I'm glad I grew up with all these great groups.

[@dhoxha3441]

the beauty of the 50's. the talent, the innocence, it can never be replaced.

[@billythedoggie]

this song came out back in the days when you could be coming home from school and hear this song blasting outside to the public coming from one of those record shops...who played the music loud outside....loved it!!!

[@Tonithenightowl]

I love this song. Just something about it. Very upbeat yet romantic. When music was music. Oh God, I'm old lol

[@geefarano]

Saw the Impalas live in 1958 at an Allan Freed Rock-N-Roll show, they were really good. Damn I miss those times it was a lot of fun growing up then I was thirteen years old.

[@RockLives4u]

Loved it when it first came out, and feel the same today..Thanks for the post... Bayside NY guy, late 50s and 60s

[@SLB161991]

This band is an excellent example that people of differen colors can come together during the 50s and 60s.

[@grandmasusie49]

I remember as a kid my daddy playing this song and singing to it.. i love this ERA of music !!!

I am 16 years old and I want to go back to 1950's America, The music, The fashion, The cars.

[@gabbyg7315]

I have the most amazingly intricate, detailed and exciting dreams - and they all have soundtracks, so I wake up with songs running through my head. Some I may not have heard for years. This is one such song. I woke up to it spinning in my head this morning and hoped it might be here on YT. So great to hear it again; when I first used to sing along with it on the radio, I was in love for the very first time. Those experiences (and accompanying songs) stay with us, stored up there in that mysterious place that's our subconscious. What a great era it was.

[@bennyjazzful]

Wonderful tune by a great group. i'm 69yo & can remember this played on the radio---great memories

[@JamesBanfield1]

Nov 1959 I got my first phonograph, no records, just a phonograph. So that very next afternoon my brother and I rode our bikes to the local record store, He bought 3 Records and I bought 3.. the only record I remember from the 6 that we got is the Impalas and "Sorry, I ran all the way home"... wow brings back great memories....!

[@TisEyerish1]

I'll second that, Ray...we of that generation grew up with the best music ever written and recorded!

[@gerridean869]

Wow!!! I have been looking for this jewel for years. It sounds even better than I remember. I love doo-wop melodies and harmony. Thanks KZbin!!

[@reyknudson7091]

I STILL LOVE THIS GREAT SONG!! THANKS FOR SHARING! R.K. 3/17/2021.

[@malcolmburns4]

Stand by me reminded me of my childhood...I must have watched it 1000 times..and still so sometimes...realistic movie..great acting..good music..RIP River..

[@josephkane2148]

Just One of these songs that really stand out as it was a major hit single in 1959 as it was out the year I was born and it does still sounds so good even now a days

[@williamhenry9609]

Takes me back to my childhood. No television back then only the radio to listen to those wonderful songs of the era.

[@ftjax]

This was one of the hits playing on the juke box at my 1959 CHS graduation party waaaaay back then !

[@fredtom9506]

thanks one of the thousand great songs of the 50's n 60's. None of the garbage being sung n played today. We had the best years n wish we had it back.

[@FastForwardVideoINC]

You have that right. I don't know what happened to the music industry but seems like it took at big dive in the 70's

[@jacka123100]

Late 50's and early 60's was the best. I know, because I was 16 years old in 1959.

[@lynns1243]

+Jack A I agree that was the best time....and I was 13 in 1959 and was into music big time.

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

+Lynn Stormes i agree with both of you, i was 12, and living in kingston , jamaica.

[@denisjl100]

+Jack A yeah i was 13 in 59 and music was all we had. no techno toys not even tv. am radio was all there was. wkbw in buffalo, chum in toronto, wbz. wabc and many more. it was a more innocent time. sometimes i wonder if all this electronics is such a good thing.

[@rosekween1]

+Ferdinand Francis wow - just at the advent of ska & then reggae. what a great time for music for you. in US we didn't really get reggae then, mostly doowop; in my opinion, reggae is the best music of all time. JAH Love (sincerely, I'm a Rasta)

[@sandsoftime1954]

+Denis Lessard I just caught your post as the songs was about to change up. I was 11 in 59 and way addicted to this stuff. WBZ was hometown radio back then. but I listened to WKBW and WPTR, Albany as well Yep today, they're what what I call Techno- Zombies. everybody's hard wired to their handhelds 24,7. What would life be without them. Talk about addictions, if I didn't know better I'd almost believe it was conspiracy, A real mind- jack !

[@fbenenati]

I was about 11 years old when this came out. It still sounds great and brings back some "Mom, apple pie and Sunday drives" type memories. Thanks for posting it.

[@foxteen8721]

Screw you guys. Forget it.

[@rvictor64]

This song was the groups biggest hit in a relatively short career. In the latter years of the 50's there was a ton of recording groups and I quess the Impala's, even with this hit, got caught in the shuffle. A number of years ago I watched them perfom at the Valley Forge Music Center in Pennsylvania and this song brought back some great memories, it is also a featured song in the movie "Stand by me." Ron

[@hedaman1000]

Impalas were Brooklyn group. Recorded this in 1958 & sold over a million records. They had one other record, "Oh what a fool" that fell flat. Pretty much one hit wonders, but anyone around in 58 knows all the words to this song!

[@Trumpster71]

One of my favorite songs of all time

[@tomkelley2175]

One of my favorites from the 1959/1960 academic year [who thought about "academics" then?] - Love the lyrics on the screen - class job - thanx, T.K.

[@williamhenry9609]

Takes me back to the sixties. Such a wonderful era of wonderful songs. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

[@tomk1tl]

Sure glad that the "younger generation" is finally finding this "good music" instead of all the junk they are playing now-a-days. Can't understand why the musicians now cannot take any "hints" about this type of music played back "when". Long live rock 'n roll and doo-wop!

[@TheConsumerman]

Love this tune!! Im here cause I was there when this song was on thev radio, loved it the love it now.

[@nadezhdawall-rossi2211]

My friends and I danced to these great hits back in the 50's. We heard them on American bandstand, Detroit Bandstand and the radio. So much fun!

[@williamhenry9609]

Long forgotten hit of the 60's. Thank you Utube for reviving this song.

[@bobmurphy8091]

This was a happy time in my life. Among other things, frankly, lost in the music. I saw so many concerts, had fun. It was a time I so enjoyed before...well 68 wasn't fun...I wasn;t here...another place far away....

[@claytontamm5894]

had some junior high "sock hops" in the basement and played this song. Brings back memories........James Bowie Jr. High. Amarillo, Tx. Damn, what thoughts this brings back!

[@tomkelley2175]

Sock Hops = '60s = fantastic. And a '57 Chevy IMPALA [google and review] was the hot cat in 1960.

[@josephkane4753]

Such a real feel good song from 1959 as it is from Stand By Me Soundtrack and the song in this movie is so good as I do love listening to them all of the time

[@scdevon]

Nice early stereo recording. (1960) It has a distinctive warm vacuum tube sound from the analog tape recorders and vacuum tube mixing equipment.

[@daviddriggers8516]

Even though I wasn't born in the 50s i love doo wop. Many of my records were hand me downs but i cherished them as if they were my own. Some in my collection were drip drop, by the Drifters, willpower by Jackie moore and I get the sweetest feeling by Jackie Wilson. Thanks mom for your records.

[@mickeymousebiker1]

The scene from Stand By Me where the boys are walking through the open fields brings a few tears to my eyes. I recall going camping with my boyhood buds - so long ago. I had a good pal who was so much like Chris Chambers. Poor Vern! Thanks, Rob Reiner!

[@richardfazakas2470]

Good old Rock/Roll (Y) and the Good Od Days, gone forever now, But still in our memories !

[@B0SSNINE]

Im only 16 and i've been listening to this kind of music since I was 2 years old going to car shows with my family (we have a 1966 Ford Mustang). Some new music is good - but only about .1% of it. '50s - '80s FOREVER!!! =D

[@TisEyerish1]

Who needs the words printed to sing along? I remember them all...I also remember seeing The Impalas on a Saturday night show...I think Dick Clark was the host, but I could be wrong about that...they were dressed as baseball players and the backdrop was a baseball field. Great song!

[@claudettepreisinger]

I remember my step sister was always singing this song around the house! Thanks for posting this memory...

[@robbaca9959]

My favorite movie of all time, Stand By Me, brought me here. I've watched that movie and read the short storie about a million times, but I never thought of looking this song up until now. I love it!

[@josephkane2148]

Just One of the very Best singles of 1959 as it is by the Impalas and the name of this single is Sorry I Ran All The Way Home One of the top tunes of 1959 as it was the year I was born

[@kencurry7224]

I decided to recruit 3 friends Bobby Hauser Dave Guizdon and Bobby Carpenter to back me up for the pantomime classic of the Lowry elementary 6th grade talent show. Sorry Sorry I Ran All the way home in 1960. We won first place, We were awesom, won first place. Fame faded fast but didn't disappear, 56 years later at our 50th year high school reunion all I was ever remembered for was that great song. Fame is so addictive! Thank you The Impalas!

[@jamesgatto8441]

Top notch do whop! Just an all around great tune.

[@EVIEHEARS]

This brings back memories of being a little kid, riding the in car with my parents and hearing this on the radio. Now, to find out years later, that this group contained one black singer makes my heart sing even more so.....Thank God someone had their head screwed on correctly. Wish there were more groups like this to show brotherly love and tolerance.....Hello Deep South....................>>>>

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

Coopa coopa coopa chop chop chop chop.! The group was formed in 1958 by Tony Carlucci (first tenor), Richard Wagner (baritone) and Lenny Renda (second tenor). They began practicing in the back room of a candy store and on local street corners, where they were heard by Joe Frazier, who called himself Speedo. His offer to help their harmonies turned into a full-fledged frontrunning spot with the group. They recorded for Hamilton record label, they were found by songwriters Artie Zwirn and Aristides "Gino" Giosasi, who wrote the song "Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home)". In 1959 disc jockey Alan Freed heard the group, added his name as a writer of the song, and got them a deal with MGM Records subsidiary label Cub. The record reached #2 on the U.S. pop chart, #14 on the R&B chart, and #28 in the UK Singles Chart. The song sold over one million copies earning gold disc status. The famous "uh-oh" at the beginning of the record was not intended, but a knee-jerk utterance by Speedo acknowledging that he had missed the cue given by Leroy Holmes, the arranger and conductor of the session. The A&R man said to leave it in there, so the "uh-oh" was repeated on the next take. The group recorded follow-ups including "Oh What A Fool," and an album for Cub, and one further single for the 20th Century label, before disbanding in 1961. Frazier went on to sing with Love's Own in 1973, and in 1980 resurrected the Impalas as a touring act. Joe "Speedo" Frazier died on April 1, 2014.

[@josephkane2148]

Has to be One of My Favourite songs from 1959 as it was out in the year I was born so I do love the Music that came out in 1959 as most of the songs that came out in this year was so pretty good for me

[@laotzuandpooh]

My 21 son and his cousin say they wish they had lived back then in the doo wop days. I'm 65 and I like all kinds of music including hip hop and rap, but there is nothing I like quite as much as this type. This song can stay stuck in my head for days!

[@Timepassages]

Remember this well. I was 15, hoodsey hop dances, portable radios, DA's,Nantasket Beach etc etc. Great Days!!!

[@TheWizardofRandR]

I saw them at either Alan Freed's or Murray the K's R&R Revue in the 50's or early 60s ,hard to remember these days! LoL

[@bartrosenberg]

In real stereo too! Great production too.

[@kittyangelove]

i wish i lived back then those were the good times

[@steveinbelgium]

In the 60's, I remember a music video of this song. The singers were dressed in baseball uniforms and performed it while pretending to play baseball. The connection was "I ran all the way home" (to home plate). I think of that video everytime I hear this song. What a riot!

[@georgeloyie9025]

The '59 Impala... what a cruiser in any trim, my 1st was a 59 salmon/creme coupe with a straight 6 engine, I still felt like a king cruising around haha!! I want one with the 348 6 pack... I know, dream on!

[@justtalk5970]

I love seeing groups like this who had both black and white members. In this time, that was not a common thing at all. It's like they were giving a big middle finger to society and saying "Black, white, it doesn't matter. This is the way it should be."

[@georgeloyie9025]

Yeah me too. In my opinion only weak people are haters of anyone different, be it color or religion but I think they hate themselves probably just as much as the ones they themselves hate.
