As a kid I wore out three 45-RPM records because I love the son so much that I played it till I wore them out. Thank you ROSIE for the beautiful song to this day at the age of 75 I still love the song!!

An enduring Classic Song that will always be a part of our memories for those of us that were young when this famous song first came out. There are many Covers of this song out there but none can quite equal Her original sound. Thank you Mr. Editor for all the research it took to gather all this information about Rosie's Life and the song She is famous for.

This song brings back the old "greaser" days for me whenever I hear it, more than any other song. A time of Brylcreem in your hair and your date to the prom on your arm, in your '57 Chevy.

Love Rosie forever❤

[@thelakeman5207]

Her song "Angel Baby" is one of those songs that brings you back right in the middle of the Doo Wop era.

[@richardplante9846]

Just the best forever

[@keithorr6878]

I like her music.

[@4everfree]

"Oh Rosie oh Girl"..... Robert Plant and Pagey loved Rosie. So did AC/DC..... Hence "Whole Lotta Rosie."

[@louierivera7512]

Is this the same Rosie as the one from the duet Rosie and Ron ?

[@essbo53]

No, "Rosie" of Rosie and Ron was a young lady named Lucy Duran.

[@user-fy6sy6eb7f]

HELLO, IS ANGEL BABY THE ONLY SONG SHE WROTE .... ROSIE HAMLIN ? OR DID SHE WRITE OTHER SONGS ? PLEASE REPLY, JOHN FROM NORTH CAROLINA .

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Yes she did! She wrote' Lonely Blue Nights' for the album of the same name in 1961 with the band Rosie and the Originals. Thanks for watching John! 😁👍

[@agegroot5666]

Beautiful song, although the band isn't the song has the air of girlgroups of the 60s and they were great.

[@reynaldoalvaradojr5673]
