The Impalas - Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home)

[@deewilton7461]

wow. look what happens when people get along and work together regardless of there differences, they create awe inspiring works of loving art, dont take my word ask the family stone, the crests, the del vikings, the pyramids, Booker T and the MGS etc etc

[@renascencewoman]

i miss seeing musicians dressed in suits and ties. we're fortunate they wear any kind of semblance of clothes. ty for this.

[@waynewhoever]

I used to listen to this song on radio in the 1950's as a teenager when living in New Zealand. There is only one way to describe the Impalas singing this song and that is BLOODY GOOD! Yay yay yay!

[@Spaseebo]

ROCK'N'ROLL FOREVER! Another of the all-time greats. Praise the Lord we have KZbin as our time machine, huh?

[@smasica]

Love this kind of music. I remember as a kid listening to the radio trying to figure out what the background singers were saying. Sometimes you could, sometimes not.

[@UberAnalog]

Ohh wah wah Ohh wah way chop chop chop chop gumba gumba gumba sorrrrrrry best background lyrics ever

[@harryschaefer5887]

Uh Oh, I'm glad I ran all the way here to hear this great old tune again.

[@DetroitLives313]

A great memory here! Thank you very much.

[@deaves1000]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS FROM THE 1950S!

[@robinmansfield914]

Excellent song! One of my Favs! Loved the Impalas!

[@Classicrocker6119]

It's absolutely amazing to see an integrated act perform back then. Good on them and a great song as Well!

[@5sandio]

Liked this from years and years ago and still do!

[@greatmanbrown9588]

back in day the when performing men wear suits and ladies wear nice dresses no under garments showing.very respectable

[@larrykrauth970]

greatman Brown those were the days

[@kayree2673]

Brilliant song of the late '50s

[@rogreen54]

So true Kerry! This is some fantastic tune and it'll never grow old, not as long as I'm around 'cause I will keep it going.

[@Terryman1960]

Gotta love the fancy footwork. Great song, great group

[@denisjl100]

pastor t. yeah the only problem if the group went on tour, the lead singer couldn't stay in the same hotel as the rest of the group. this is one of the reasons the group didn't last long.

[@ezerlenewatkins9644]

​@@denisjl100 yeah you are right. That was so sad back in those days.

[@jamesframpton8120]

I have always loved this song, it has got to be one of classics of the Rock 'n' roll era, and before I saw the video of it I imagined The Impalas were an all black group, so surprised to find they are a racially integrated group much like the The Crests except the other way around. I really love all these Doo-Wop groups, from this golden era, so sad the teenagers of today haven't great music like this to listen too, and we owe so much thanks to late Dick Clark for exposure of these wonderful groups on his Bandstand show. Out of interest another song that I mistakenly thought was a black group until I saw the video was "I'm a Girl Watcher" by The Okaysons

[@Johnsunsetjamaica]

AGREED AGREED , except I alwasys imagined then White Kidz So nice to see and like your comments

Loved this back in H.S. and still do.

[@imbees2]

Nice. I remember this one.

[@coyotesong]

[@4djkora]

love this song!!!!! never get tired of hearing it

[@frank61ism]

WHAT AN ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE ! BOY , THINGS SURE DID CHANGE.

[@frendoman4327]

great '50s group, I used to play this 45 on my sisters phonograph... loved this songgreat to see blacks and whites together... guess we never learned from it though

[@manospetridis1935]

The very unreverend race baiters Sharpton, Jackson and White definitely didn't learn.

[@denisjl100]

redfinger pitta. we learned some, but it comes slow. a part of the population learned and that was progress but like all change it always seems to take time. i hope with all my heart that i see a big change in my life time.

[@thejackandtomshow2776]

Whoa !... I ran all the way from my house- gordie + chris+ teddy singing I ran all the way home just to say I'm sorry Verne : aww screw !

[@JoniD4709]

Thats from stand by me

[@RDK860]

This Brooklyn Quartet Charted 3/16/59 with Sorry (I Ran all The Way Home) It Peaked at No.2, for 2 weeks and had an 18 Week Run!

[@ricksmith6686]

Love the Impalas! Great song!

[@chrismccormick6371]

I was born in 1966! I love this song! OLD IS GOLD! I remember it from the movie " STAND BY ME"! At the beginning in the treehouse! From Loudoun County, Virginia! 😎😎

[@twoodruff01]

One of all time favorite songs.

[@johndonabie5150]

I was sitting on the couch watching this show live that night.

[@hebneh]

Split-second precision choreography throughout.

[@spideraxis]

Pretty cool. I miss this music, those glorious days, and all doo-wop. Radio stations seldom play these songs. Sure beats today's music.

[@harrisgillian8808]

Love this group & song thanks!xx

[@debdessaso]

Thanks for the info.

[@Tonithenightowl]

This is the opposite of the Crests. Freaking fabulous !!!

[@LesSmith45]

This is just pure classic music all the way!! You cannot tell me today's music is better than this. I was was not even born yet when this was recorded, close but not quite.

[@bodensick]

Hey dude, sorrry those teen years were so sad...but this music is kick-ass! I wasn't the most popular guy in school but I found solace and relief in my small Japanese transister radio.

[@rogerhuff9556]

because it was real no auto tune and bullshit just talent

[@kerrygibb]

Another of my favorites. Funny how you see alot of the same people commenting on these thru the evening. I guess we know good music.

[@ezerlenewatkins9644]

Kerry gibb we do!!!

[@billdescoteaux]

Actually, it's 1959, and yes, integrated groups were the exception at the time, not the norm!

[@dan51556]

I used to think of this tune when we were being forced marched in the Service. Kept up morale and had about the right pace

[@ImaCaMan]

Love this song. I remember one performance of this song on the Saturday Night Beech Nut show it was "dress up" night and they wore baseball uniforms and sang this.

[@ezerlenewatkins9644]

Me too ImaCaMan, I remember😅 that performance on that saturday night show. That was in 1959 wasn't it?

[@weatherboi]

Wonder how a singing group like this would do in 2017? Love their music.

[@T-W-M]

"Stand by me" brought me here.

[@marvinrodriguez7971]

Same here

[@paytonb8926]

Best movie

[@vernonbrowne6127]

Like Wise with me.

[@maliksafi2937]

same

[@williamhighfill539]

I'll Stand By You was one of the best..

[@gorgonique]

Stunning song! Fascinating video -- those 50s teenybopper girls uncertain about who they should scream about, NOT the owner of the voice they expected, after hearing the song on the radio. A charming break-through group, buddies doing their thing and pushing things ahead, out of that uptight era.

[@G8GT364CI]

Those guys could really dance! haha!

[@kelly14171]

Im not a 50s, 60s, 70s ,80s, or 90s kid but I like old songs then now.

[@jharimiahharris4847]

this is the best song I ever heard

[@sterry2141]

some nice dance steps

[@ladyinabag1]

....and, once again, the audience claps on the 1-3!!

[@kevinjconroy]

+Kris Peterson i just noticed that, you're right...

[@brickpaver1]

Totally agree, they clap on the ON beat and that drives me nuts.

[@drziman]

And cracking their gum on the 3-4

[@ghostrider-ek8gu]

Another great group from Brooklyn.

[@ronlewis1265]

thanks eliezer for the information. interesting how so many got their start back then.

[@debdessaso]

So I've been told. Thanks.

[@claireflippin6771]

love this band! and song!

[@gnturbo6]

luv doowop... awesome..

[@madbob5a]

You will never see this these days smart well dressed shining shoed performer. What a miss.

[@thecountofbasie]

The performance is even more charmingly amateurish and sincere than the record...fun treat...thanks

[@alanhfrank]

Not the '60s..but close....'58-'59..Cub Records. Integrated groups took off in the late '50s...Del Vikings, Crests, and more.

[@jgordainc]

The Dance Steps were definitely " Old School ", but timing was pretty good, liked the Song and the Dance Show!

[@charlotteholmes3305]

Stand By Me 💕

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

This was Mussolini's favorite version. Everything but the fascist salute. 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.

[@redsplash22]

Eliezer Pennywhistler Tony (Anthony) Carlucci is my father. I am impressed that you know so much about this group.

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

Mariann Langley So am I.

[@larrytominberg768]

+Mariann Langley Hi from New Mexico. I grew up in Canarsie, Brooklyn on 89th street. When we were kids we use to listen to the Impalas who lived a few blocks away and drove a Chevy Impala. They were celebrities in our neighborhood. Very cool. Take care. Larry Tominberg,

[@Impulse_Photography]

Same Year (1959) The Trio Died in the plane crash ... Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, & Big Bopper ... A time when happier music was needed - - this is a great example ...

Sigo pensando cuales de 40 de esos grupos serian los mejores.

[@fromthesidelines]

From "THE SATURDAY NIGHT BEECH-NUT SHOW", April 11, 1959. The audience is sporting the sponsor's "IFIC" buttons {as in "Beech-Nut Flavor-IFIC Gum"}.

[@joesouza1147]

I F In Chew..... crap I was only 8 yrs old when this was made.

[@mrob75]

Thank you GNRSlashLover for this wonderful "Saturday Night Beechnut Show" clip from New York's "Little Studio"! Would have loved to see the Skyliners clip right after! This video is so totally "Flavor- IFIC"! :-)

[@fosterglantz6682]

[@markpippin5437]

There were more integrated groups in the 50s than there are now.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Sad but true.

[@fenderHM]

That dance number during the solo reminds me of The Three Stooges

[@alyssabeach7483]

Fun song!

[@EstebanSanbora]
