The Kalin Twins - When (1959)

When, when you smile, when you smile at me
Well, well, I know our love will always be
When, when you kiss, when you kiss me right
I, I don't want to ever say good night
I need you
I want you near me
I love you, yes, I do
And I hope you hear me
When, when I say, when I say, "Be mine"
If, if you will, I know all will be fine
When will you be mine?
Oh, baby, I need you
I want you near me
I love you, yes, I do
And I hope you hear me
When, when, when you smile, when you smile at me
Well, well, I know our love will always be
When, when you kiss, when you kiss me right
I, I don't want to ever say good night
I need you
I want you near me
I love you, yes, I do
And I hope you hear me
When, when I say, when I say, "Be mine"
If, if you will I know all will be fine
When will you be mine?

I'm from the same area in NY. Their mother was a good friend of my Nana. I spent a lot of time with her when I was young, and though I was only around 6-7 years old,, I remember them stopping by to see her. They said Nana was like a second mom to them. She owned a tavern and always kept her autographed picture of the boys behind the bar. "To our second Mom, Love Hal and Herbie" .

[@tonyrobichaud]

I was in a bar about 15 years ago when I heard two guys naming old songs and who sang them. They seemed to be in a contest of who could name the oldest song to win. I mentioned this song of "When" by the Kalin Twins and neither of them had heard of it or the singers. I moved to this country when I was 8 years old and 4 years later, this song came out and it will always remind me of that scene at the bar.

So music like When, Little Darlin', There's a Moon Out Tonite, Silohettes, Tonite, Tonite.... that whole genre, came to be know as "Beach Music" to me. Why? because we were on the Long Island sound and picked up NY radio stations like 10-10 WINS and WABC.... who played the best doo-wop in the years when they weren't oldies!!!
