[@andrewshaver5800]

One of my favorite Oldies. Thanks for posting.

[@Gloren50]

Loved this song from my youth! I can't think of anyone else who has reacted to it. So, thanks!

[@janicetilley5540]

Haven’t heard this one in a long time. I was a kid when this was played on the radio. Thanks for the memories ❤

[@judywelch1044]

OMG!! im 75 yrs old and this was a loved song in grade 7. THANKS for finding

[@HarriBestReactions]

Grade 7???? Thats incredible!!!

[@marybaillie8907]

The Jarmels were a doo wop R&B group who had a 1961 charting hit with this song. It made it to Number 12. In 1960, they got a break meeting Ben E. King, who invited the group to New York. They met with the Laurie Recording Company and became the first African American group signed to their record company. Just a great tune, with wonderful lyrics, instruments and vocals. Nice memories. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Romello.👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I love this song. ❤❤❤❤

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Love doo-wop. As a kid I listened to these records. one of the first concerts I went to was Sha-na-na in the 70's beck when they were at their peak and they had their own tv show. I had their 8 tracks in my old GTO.

[@brandonious7732]

One of the songs my kids don't mind me singing all the time

[@mimigina7439]

Wow! I believe you are the first one to react to this one! Thank you so much. I had forgotten about this song, and I never knew the artists until now.

[@jonnno243]

Yers Harri, this is fantastic. I was so glad that in the 70s, Showaddywaddy brought this song to the people then too,

[@sourisvoleur4854]

I Love This Song! They should have been bigger than they were. Doo-wop is so awesome.

[@alkholos]

Doo-Wop was a 50s phenomenon that had all but disappeared by 1961, when this song was released. Doo-Wop makes you happy like no other music can do.

[@dsusan17]

I haven't heard this song before thank you! Great reaction. When the baritone came in ! Heaven!

[@Steve52344]

I was at Laurie Records studio when they recorded it. I was 17. Where the hell did it all go? Very underrated vocal group, but never by me. Long live all the doo-wop groups we once had..

[@jobill8487]

Thank you! This has been a favorite of mine for over 60 years.

[@HarriBestReactions]

60 years??? Lordy!!!!

[@jobill8487]

yes, I'm old (71)

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

I was 14 when this little gem came out, loved it then love it today, thanks Harri.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Wow! That was a few years ago 😂

[@vrvaughn]

Omg I haven’t heard this in decades….

[@asteverino8569]

Sweet! Haven't heard this before. Thanks.

[@pwbreb]

Great to hear this again. Those guys look sooo young!!! Ha!

[@loveforpeople678]

love your show your awesome from southern ont canada

[@pathare3031]

I remember this. Good job

[@detroitpolak9904]

You don’t know HOW LONG I been waiting for a reaction to this. Detroit had the best Oldies stations in the 80s and 90s. Plus CKLW across the river in Windsor, Ontario.

[@anthonymussari8783]

Listen to their version of The Way You Look Tonight!!!

[@Cynthia...]

Great song Romello. I remember dancing to this one back in the day and I had it on one of my lists for Harri.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Wow!!! You danced to this?

[@themajicman745]

I love me some doo wop even though I'm more from the 70's and 80's and I was a little crumb snatcher in the 60's.

[@davebzen795]

Doo Wop!!! I am not familiar with The Jamals, and now I know another group I have overlooked. I'll be revisiting their tunes. Well done, Romello and Harri👋

From Richmond Virginia

[@CJJohnson-tt6xs]

Cj very fantastic👍👍👍👍

[@mocrg]

My favorite genre

[@nunulove8702]

You should React to there Song "One By One" it's a Very good song by them The Jarmels.🎤🎵🎶🎵🎼🎤

[@carollittle1059]

Please check out, The Ten Commandments of Live by The Moonglows released in 1953.

[@glendoraolaf3999]

Great tune. There is an amazing live version on YT.

[@marxlover100]

Good choice here, Harri, on a sort of one-hit wonder group. A great classic that no one has reacted to is "Sea of Love" by Phil Phillips. Was his only hit. You've got to find that one and give it a try. Another good one is Ron Holden's "Love You So". And lastly, you absolutely must react to a great song called "Those Oldies But Goodies" by Little Caesar and the Romans.

[@cameronmurray1354]

I got a rare song for you from 1958 by the videos called love or infatuation. I'm a new subscriber

[@jimmypadgett1106]

There was a cover did in the 70's by Nigel Olson it made a hit then as well

[@MikeCoggan]

Paul Davis did this about 1970 and I think Brian Hyland had a hit with it too

[@mildredpierce4506]

For decades I thought the word was solar and not soap. So I thought they were saying a little bit of soul.

[@alkholos]

Except for Ray Smith (now 82), all the rest of these singers are gone. And this was their only hit song.

[@dagmar.6954]

The Jarmels were a doo wop R&B group formed in 1959. "A Little Bit of Soap" was their only big hit in 1961.

[@sharonsnail2954]

Great stuff!! One of the very first 45s I ever bought 😀 It was 1961. It was on Top Rank. I still have it somewhere. Unbeknownst to me it was my introduction to a that fantastic writer/producer Bert Berns who wrote this song (as Bert Russell). Bert would feature very strongly in my vinyl purchases. Next up was "Cry To Me" by Solomon Burke followed by "Twist And Shout" by The Isley Brothers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Berns
