The Dubs - Could this be Magic

[@vitosanto3874]

No hats on sideway,no pants hanging off their buts, Just real Gentlemen with real Talent.

[@devogrant2817]

😂

[@gc4282]

Hear, hear! The best music ever!

[@trinimadrid3387]

Absolutely the finest of talent !❤ They made my life so beautiful ❤

[@conniewolf7300]

Absolutely right!!!

[@timstafford5079]

The Rock & Roll HOF is dirty. So many great performers have been snubbed. The Dubs along with so many other performers were incredible. I miss this era.

[@Tunes342]

Great point, black artists of the 50's and 60's never got the full respect and credit that they deserve.

[@gc4282]

My friend you're speaking the truth! I was just telling my son's how Sam Cooke was murdered by 2 White women he slept with in a motel off South Figueroa in LA. Plus they stole his $6000 dollars from him. Of course the police at the time believed the women and his murder was never investigated. What a tradegy to lose such a wonderful talent and awesome individual, worse yet, such a miscarriage of justice!

[@matador528]

This is one old man who remembers when ALL entertainers dressed, talked, and performed with respect for their fans and audience who paid good money (not always in great supply to you young people). Notice how the lyrics wouldn't embarrass your grandmother, the guys dressed as if they were there to perform as a group, not just a bunch of random homeless, the songs actually had a tune, and the singers practiced the old rule that you don't turn your back on your audience.

[@brooklynjazzdoc5611]

All I can do is totally agree with OldBoiler and Darryle! These men were professional entertainers with total class. They dressed for the concert, conducted themselves with decorum, and sang things they would sing in church or before their mothers. We just loved them. The church "sock hops" really gave dumb guys like me a chance to meet girls. Slow dances were the highlight! Thanks to the producer for affording us the opportunity to hear them again.

[@mikekaup5252]

I hated when the British music booted this music off the air. Danced to this in 63 and 64 as a freshman. Then the didn't play much of this after that. It was sad. Wonderful that we can still listen to it. Music should be to make you feel good not for politics.

[@ellenpearljackson5219]

Amen

[@minnowpd]

They were black! They never got the respect they deserved. One of the greatest songs of all time.

[@Trallalinda08]

OMG...the romance in those days...

[@justice2736]

The 50s had some of the greatest African American singers in the annals of history

[@vodkamarie]

And still do today...

[@angeliqueruss4076]

I think I'm the only 19 year old who actually listens to Doo wop and love it a lot. My grandfather got me hooked on doowop.

[@music-e5e]

You are one lucky girl. God bless your grandfather.

[@maryrawson4324]

This is when men looked so smart, and also they could sing, this is amazing..lovely words to the song also..................

[@joanhughes2881]

I was only 14 living in Southwest Phila. listening to Georgie Woods the man with the goods,when I first heard this song i'm 70 now, and I still can's get enough of this song, what a voice!

[@user-jn6bi7mn4m]

Don't Ask Me To Be Lonely, Be Sure My Love and Chapel Of Dreams!! The Dubs were Great!!!

[@LKSDOWOP2]

High school dance 1961. This was playing. Clumsy weasel me got up the courage to ask the prettiest girl in school to dance. She accepted! That night I died and went to heaven.

[@azbill54]

I had that magic for 47 years of Marriage, and together for 51 years, Music is the only way that I can still hold onto the memories.

[@philoliver8836]

Bill. Cherish those memories

[@Kukumamma]

juat amazing,so thankful that iam black women,to see our black brother back then having so much talent,very good clip.thanks so much for posting it.

[@robertcourtney7866]

U.S. Air Force Veteran Richard Blandon on lead vocals - the man could sing

[@gc4282]

As a 68 yr old from Brooklyn, I grew up with this music. "The Dubs" are one of the greatest & my favorite Oldie's group of all time. All Superb voices, elegant and very classy gentlemen. Definitely, not the crap you see and hear today. Unfortunately, "The Dubs" didn't receive the credit due. Should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for sure! I listen to them everyday.

[@promyomy]

This was so innocent and pure. You could actually understand the words, and feel the emotions. How I long for the words and sounds of moving music. Frank Sisti

[@sunlandleaonard]

I remmemer my older brother johnny back in 1965 listening to this song over and over.he died in 1993, this song makes me cry ,takes me back to high school days and my parents were alive and me and my friends dancing every friday night at rosevelt high in east los angeles. becky gusman it has been 47 years ago and i still think of you.I went by flaco . to all my hoomize that are no longer with us.I just want to thank you for all the memories, they are tatoo to my memory. never to be erase

[@matternest1717]

Back when music was deep meaningful and had actual talent

[@bimborc]

Those harmonies cut to the heart. A timeless classic

[@katiewong112]

You are so right!😊

[@ellenpearljackson5219]

Amen

[@johnnyweep59]

it was a terrible injustice that a lot of the bands/groups from this era didnt get the big bucks they rightly deserved,but what a fantastic legacy to leave behind.These classic songs will last forever and be loved by all generations.most if not all artists would love to leave behind such a legacy.

[@williambucasas4472]

These guys and singers are the people who should be in The Rock ans Roll Hall Of Fame.

[@denisjl100]

a lot are. check out the list under r and r hall of fame.

[@mikedrummy1852]

William, you are absolutely correct. This is true R&B,Rock & Roll not the stuff they've elected to call Rock & Roll .

[@susanandresen8212]

I agree

[@chrisha1595]

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Why aren't they?????

[@edwardsosa1588]

The Dubs and the Five Satins...best do wop groups ever...Such love songs that are so heart felt. My number #1 song of all time!! with In The Still Of The Night ...they're in my Hall Of FAME.!!! . And in my Collection CD's and some on 45"s and albums.. Ed ins SA,Tx.

[@bellbonne]

You know--I think it's really important to recognize the huge contribution black artists made to opening the minds of people growing up in the 50's and 60's. As a white teenager in that time-- doo-wop and r and b music changed the way I looked at life and taught me to support and respect the talents others regardless of race. Genius is genius!

[@beatgaragela]

This is so fantastic. Well said.

[@cynthia6637]

Too Beautiful... Couldn't ask for a better Doo-Wop song than this... What a way to grow up... with all this Doo-Wop music... like I did...

[@stephenpiazza5938]

Never ever get tired of hearing this song. THAT WAS MUSIC!!

[@MrJamieMurph4141969]

Agreed 💯!!!

[@2KRW]

me too...over and over again

[@CeliaMitchell-ot5ir]

Chirping like beautiful birds.

[@moniquestanley479]

Thinking about my husband when I hear this song. It was magic to meet him 🥰

[@octaviohoyos6737]

Richard Blandon's smooth, soulful voice is so touching and to have the other Dubs back up only makes themusic even more perfect. How could this music from the heart ever go out of style? Such a tragedy.

[@seldenkid48]

Candidate for number one song of the fifties and beyond. Such a wonderful song. There voices are out of this world. Thank you for downloading this favorite

[@juan58102]

Harmony, ritmo, quality, magic voices that today you will find only in the 45 rpm..no in anyplace . What a lovely period of time 1955-1960!

[@OldBoiler62]

I grew up in the 50's and 60's to this music. We didn't see the groups and singers we listened to very much, (Remember 3 TV channels?) so we didn't know or care what color they were, just what we danced to and fell in love to. On that note, how can people fall in love to most of the crap that passes for music today?

[@stevenford727]

Their will never be music like this again.The 50s and 60s were to great era's for music with wonderfully arranged songs like this.Thank god we have youtube for these golden oldies.

[@jodiegilbert9554]

What happens to beautiful songs to fall in love with........so beautiful!!!!!

[@hollywoodjoe123]

GOD BLESS THESE 5 MEN - THE DUBS - THEY BROUGHT LOVE TO THE WORLD !

[@theresachiorazzi4571]

This song is what epitomizes" Love Songs"--it'll NEVER DIE..

[@Florida45Gal]

this was a real love song when men were real men and real gentlemen....ahhh for the good old days.

[@aaronrecordsgomez6636]

Love them vocal harmonies groups of these eras 1940s 50s 60s. I wish todays kis would bring doo wop back

[@nancysmith9452]

Met on a bus in 1963 Both felt the magic it's lasted for the past 55 years still fell the magic my prayer is that everyone could feal that magic best music in the world from the 50s & 60s

[@myrnagroger132]

One of the Best from One of the Best Du-Wop groups. Memories.

[@stancano814]

I'm so fortunate to have seen all the great singers in the 50s and 60s thank you to all you gifted singers

[@davidweiner5468]

Loved it in 1957 and still love hearing it.

[@janadogan302]

Such talent. I love this song so much. There will never be music and great groups like this again. It is so good to be able to listen to this music.

[@gregcoates4305]

Such a beautiful song and performed with class by the Dubs.

[@carllashley8073]

My pop, Cleveland Still is 89 and still going strong. His voice is still crystal clear.

[@jamesmcginn2986]

Richard Blandon was one of the best lead singers ever! RIP Richard, you did the doo wop world proud! Keep the music alive in Paradise!....

[@timsbxwife]

Thank you. Thank you.

[@waltperry5781]

I was in 5th grade when this came out. It was wonderful and knocked us all flat. It was a chance to dance slow with girls. I will always love this song. Thank you for posting it.

[@emilsabatini4038]

This takes us back 2 a very special place and time in our lives. This music dissected and transcended everything we faced as a society. Prejudice? What prejudice? We didn't know what prejudice was in the 50's and 60's! And it was this thing called Doowop this music and groups like the Dubs that changed everything!

[@clydemclaughlin3022]

I couldn't have been no older than five when l first heard this song and standing in the mirror trying to sing along..That was 1959..Today l celebrate 67 yrs on this planet..Could This Be Magic..Truly love this song.

[@harmonytunes3949]

The Dubs could do it all. Unmatched harmony. From love songs like Chapel Of Dreams to rockin' piano pounders like Such Lovin' - to story telling that hits home, like Don't Laugh At Me. Thanks for the tunes, Dubs.

[@joycedenman9196]

Isn't one of them Tinys dad.l she's married to TI

[@juana.gonzalez7654]

I saw these guys in Chicago way back in the 60's. I used to dance real slow with the most beautiful girl in town at the Katherine House. ( dance place in Indiana ) Every time I put on my oldies it reminds me of those days. WOW... Those Doo Wop days.....unforgettable.

[@jacoblara4820]

Wonder how many young couples fell in love while hearing this song

[@chlorismcgahee1366]

One of my favorite songs from teenage years. ❤

[@kevinkolakowski4477]

this song makes my mom cry when ever it is played, it was the song my dad would play before he would take her out for the night, now he is gone , love you pop and so does mom.

[@joycedenman9196]

I love the songs of the fifties especially 56 and 57

[@georgellaoakry8051]

Oh boy. I remember this song from the days of my marriage, ex always had a comment because I simply loved the oldies, never tire of them, music was music back then🎶

[@ProudKansan08]

OF COURSE, there will never be music like this EVER again!!

FANTASTIC! 02/17/12 2ND TIME I HAVE COMMENTED ON THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO , LOVE THIS SONG!

[@coffeeicecream1]

Finer than fine. Thank you for keeping real music alive.

[@kathyhurry4688]

My hubby introduced me to this kind of music when we met. I grew to love the music and him. We were together 46 great years, til 6 years ago. Always think of us dancing when I hear it.

[@coffeeicecream1]

You are so right. I adore the way these gentlemen dressed. Thanks for telling it like it should be. Sincerely,

This just pulls at my heart. Makes my eyes tear. sounds almost sacred.

Richard had so many other great songs. Get the CD and note some of the great songs that never get any air time. We all miss you Richard. But we have your music. Thank You Rich M.

[@WOLF10307]

I was born in 70 and grew up listing to the 50's and 60's music thanks to my mom who passed away last year.But still listen to it as the music had meaning which today's music lacks.

[@earthangel6480]

EARTH ANGEL. SUCH A GREAT 50'S TUNE!!! SO GLAD I WAS SOMEWHAT PART OF THAT ERA!!!THIS YOUNG MAN CAN SING? SUCH A WONDERFUL, SMOOTH VOICE! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THIS YOUNG GROUP??? I AM ONLY FAMILIAR WITH THIS SONG FROM THEM!? THANK YOU

So natural & timeless .

[@katiewong112]

What talents, wish they recorded more… I am 77 and remember every school dance that played this song, what magic!

[@RICJOYTRAVEL]

The DooWop harmony of this song is the best Brings back so many memories of my teenage years in Southwestern Pennsylvania

[@ellenpearljackson5219]

The harmony of these people is simply out of this world only God could give somebody voices like th thank I appreciate your beautiful music thank you

[@lyndathain1853]

I;ve written before on this one...''Could This Be Magic''''is TOTAL MAGIC,,can;t get enough of this beautiful totally romantic Masterpiece,,Thank You & love to ''The Dubs'' Lynda xo

[@toddkray391]

The Dubs were so great. And as much as I love this song, "Please Don't Ask Me to Be Lonely" gets to me even more. Perfect, perfect records.

[@ellenmondale4849]

You are so right, it is sad that romance is something they never experienced. And their imaginations have been stolen from them, I so agree with what you said. Those years were the best ever and I'm so happy I had them, they made me what I am today.

[@moonnewbillmusic6970]

I love watching this and blessed to have this footage. The lead singer Richard Blandon is my grandfather. I was a child too young to remember him in person but he is my mom's dad. Music has run through the blood line of all of his grandchildren from my mom. and his great grandchildren.

[@joanhughes9660]

[@youngmindedman]

I know what you mean, as I grew up back then too, I'm 75. love that time, music, and autos.

[@Florida45Gal]

Of all the great doowop songs...I think this is my favorite one. Love these guys..when singers could actually sing and the lyrics and sounds were awesome. BRING DOO WOP BACK

[@loricruz3027]

This song is absolutely beautiful! I can close my eyes and envision slow dancing in the school auditorium under the mirrored ball with a first date. It was so romantic! I don't know if the kids today get to experience this type of romance or not, I sure do hope so.

[@Brembelia]

I doubt the kids of today, or tomorrow, will ever get to experience the romance that we knew back then. Kids of today don't have this kind of music and they have been brought up on a steady diet of commercialism and violence. We have the industrial plutocrats to thank for the destruction of everything good that our grandparents worked so hard to give to us that we wanted to be able to pass on.

[@ThiagoLima-jb4yl]

I'm Brazilian and this song marked my childhood... I saw an American film called "Cadilac Azul".... this is the name they translated into Portuguese... even Patrick Dampsey is in this film... the film tells the story of a father who is about to die and asks his children to get a Blue Cadillac for their mother... but in reality the father wanted to bring the brothers closer... to make them spend time together.... anyway....among so many situations that happened in the film, one of the brothers falls in love with a girl....and precisely in a certain love scene....this song starts playing....this scene has never left my memory head!....

[@ellenmondale4849]

Yes and many people don't have them. Wonderful memories are what makes us good human beings. Good, happy and generous people.

[@gina72916]

[@mortsudeck1200]

Nothing has matched the magic of doowop in 60 years

[@doc2skate]

My dad was a big fan of 50's and 60's music. That passion was passed on to me. I was born during the mid 50's so I've enjoyed all music from the 50's, to the mid 90's. From there smooth jazz caught my ears. Today, more young folks are getting into this music through sampling. They're now seeking out the songs the samples originated from. It's always pleasant to read the post of a 15 year old kid that says "I truly enjoy doo wop, jazz, R&B and soul." Makes the sacrifices worth it.

[@jimaiwo6938]

The greatest sounding music to one's ear.

[@Highlander031]

I am so glad I lived in these times. Now 65 and still loving every day with these wonderful songs. Glad, too to see allot of younger people are appreciating these songs.

[@countrypaul]

Yes, it could be - and was - magic. Richard Blandon had one of the greatest voices in rock & roll. Period. The group was outstanding as well, and the Richard Barrett-George Goldner production and arrangement are wonderful. I love how they group the bass & lead and the three harmony singers together on stage. Thank you for posting this - and for the racists in the crew, just close your eyes and let the music carry you. Please. Thank you.
