Jamel, you need to take a look at Roy Orbison, "Pretty Woman" "Only the Lonely" "Crying" "Blue Angel" and many more. Roy had probably the greatest range of any singer. Please, check him out, you won't be disappointed.

[@mattmihall9913]

Check out anything from the Black and White Night concert video. It's a classic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGvomOVbNBkoM0

I remember when this came out, (b/w concert series) damn I'm old. I also had the fortunate luck of seeing Roy in concert in Austin Texas many many years ago. I think a year or so later, he passed away.

[@ResFantasyfan]

You beat me to it, lol. I came to suggest "Lightning Strikes". I love the nostalgia this channel brings. I'll be 49 next week, so many of these songs were played on the radio before I was born. But my mother helped me to appreciate great music. I love all kinds from many different eras. I would love to see more early Bee Gees reactions, like " Massachusetts", "I Started a Joke", and "New York Mining Disaster".

[@richardkeating3575]

@@glassontherocks The Bee Gees may have come to personify disco for a lot of people, but they were so much more than that. Disco lasted maybe four or five years, whereas the Bee Gees had a career that started in the early 60`s and went up yo the end of the last century, until they started to die one by one.

My dad was a Rock and roll man and a country man these songs were my childhood here in new Zealand ❤❤❤✌✌✌

[@mattcolson2297]

The Four Seasons caught grief about this song because a real man wouldn’t talk in a falsetto voice. I guess Frankie Valli walked to the bank in a falsetto voice just fine.😝

[@silversagerae6353]

hands down best Falsetto's ever Frankie Valli & Barry Gibb

[@silversagerae6353]

@AJB3 I can agree with that My apologies to Brian.

[@hillaryilinsky1009]

only jealous fools would knock frankie valli.

[@andydurazo5337]

Also have to realize that was advice from his father. So the singer could be playing the part of a young teenager whose voice was still high. Just guessing here.

[@barbarabutterfield2679]

In my neighbor "hood", singing falsetto and harmonizing was cool😉

[@andydurazo5337]

Back in those days songs longer than three minutes wouldn't get radio play.

[@bluesman3232]

Then along came In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and the rest is history!

[@vincerencher9128]

Agreed...also a 45 will hold maybe 5 minutes per side, so at that time there was a physical limit to what the media could hold. Btw... an LP will hold about 45 minutes, and a CD about 80 minutes. Innadoddadivida was probably one side of an LP.

[@alrivers2297]

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan came out in 1965 and was six minutes and thirteen seconds long. Columbia was reluctant to release it because of its length, but a leaked copy made it into the hands of some influential DJs, and their interest in it convinced Columbia to put out the single. It made it to number two on the Billboard charts.

Light My Fire had the 7 minute album version and the chopped up 3 minute 45 version.

[@Persephonie22]

This is one of my favorites♥songs of the Four Seasons🎶. It always amazes me that their songs weren't always long, but had such a great & enjoyable tune/beats and all pure singing. No wonder why all of their songs are still classic hits that people of all ages still listen and dance to. My late Mother love it so much too and the unforgettable message/moral that 'Walk Like A Man' meaning not to let any woman or man keep you down. Especially over a heart break that you will soon mend and continue on going forward. Remember that one in this world is worth crying or suffering for besides your family. If he or she left you & broke your heart than their love was never real to begin with. Thanks again @Jamel_AKA_Jamal for posting this one. I loved your little dance & groove to did in here.

The reason for the short songs was radio. The stations wouldn’t play long songs in the late 50s and 60s. If you wanted stations to play your records, you had a 2:30 window for your music. Even the early Beatles music had to fit in the strictures of the AM stations.
