THE MOST ROMANATIC SONG EVER? ❤️..| The Penguins - Earth Angel (1956) REACTION

[@jacquieedwards8218]

"Earth Angel" was my wedding song when married in 1955, as well as "This is My Beloved" by Sammy Davis Jr. So long ago, so many fond memories. I am 86 yo, but he is no longer with us. Jesus is Love

[@surlechapeau]

J, The #1 song on oldies stations for many years was "In The Still Of The Night" by the Five Satins. Check it out!!

[@mikeharris468]

Excellent song!! I haven't heard that one in a long time either.

[@clarencerishworth3488]

You have to hear "Over The Mountain" by Johnny and Joe.

[@Scary__fun]

Another classic is You Send Me by Sam Cooke. His voice on the runs up high is heaven.

[@stephenthreadgill5065]

Being a massive 50’s fan myself, I can say you have really chose a gem here. One of my favourites from the era. Loved 50’s music since I was a teenager in the 90’s. You just don’t get pure talent like like that anymore.

[@lollylula6399]

Same I was a teenager in the 90s, my parents were teens in the late 50s so they had some records from then & they bought lots of tapes of 50s music. I remember absolutely loving Buddy Holly and Connie Francis.

[@davidwalker683]

Five satins- still of the night and the platters - smoke gets in you eyes. Will blow you away

[@JayveeTV]

I’ve done that platters song. The platters is perfection in my opinion

[@davidwalker683]

@@JayveeTVit's hard to keep up..😁 you are right. Perfection... trust me you will love Gene chandler and five satns...

[@Mark-iv7np]

Agree, it's perfection. It's the greatest Doowop song ever! His voice is incredible. In the Still of the Night by the 5 Satins is incredible also. More great Doowop songs. There's a Moon out Tonight by Capris.Since I don't Have You by Skyliners also did I Swear. Great timeless music?

[@ptournas]

"Since I Don't Have You" is on my top twenty list of the greatest songs released in my lifetime :)

[@sereneamani1713]

There's A Moon Out Tonight is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, doo-wop.

[@amandadhoward7134]

I think that honor goes to I Only Have Eyes for You by The Flamingos 😉

[@angier5775]

My #1 choice too! When those first chords start out, I melt!

[@lesleywarnock228]

Doo-wop is probably my favourite era of music besides the 80's. Beautiful song 🖤🖤🖤 I often think I was born in the wrong era. Men looked sharp, the fashion was on point, the music was incredible...

[@blackprix]

I was seven years old, and my older sister taught me how to slow dance to earth angel… And I’m smiling😊

[@dalebaker9109]

66 years old, and still a classic. These guys had almost too much talent. Sweet as a nut music. Two thumbs very much up.

[@BillGraper]

The song actually came out in late 1954. I have to do some research now. The picture in the video says 1956. I wonder if it was an updated version? The audio in this video is the exact version I'm used to hearing, and I'm sure it was 1954.

[@dalebaker9109]

@@BillGraper your right, it is 1954.

[@heatherspence3848]

I loved your comment, last week me and my husband and mother-in-law saw Frankie Valli here in Orlando Florida. I’m 38 and I may have been the youngest person there but I knew every word to every song and it was hard to keep my ass in the seat because I wanted to get up and dance so bad! Ha ha sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida

[@dalebaker9109]

@@heatherspence3848 that’s brilliant, great too hear. Very heartening.

[@alyzauch6435]

I’m 57 years old and this old time music is my favourite, even bought my sons up listening to all different sounds of music, we are a family that love listening to music from the 50s up to day love my music

[@themojoslide]

First heard this song in back to the future too! Great little song!

[@BelleDede01]

There were many a Capella groups back in the 50's, which is why Pentatonix is so great as they brought back a Capella groups and opened the door to other a Capella groups like Home Free. I love that era so I guess I was born in the wrong era ;) Thanks for the reaction. They don't make music like that in most genre.

[@sharonjarrett8953]

That type of music is Classic never ever die this is great music my mother and my Aunt played this type of music when I was child 🔥

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

I haven't heard this since I was a child and it's so well sung, what a wonderful group. I do love songs from my childhood that I heard on the radio many years ago. You shouldn't be surprised by the quality of the singers sweetheart, the audience's at that time knew great music when they heard it. My late Mum knew all the words to this song and would sing along with them. God bless you all, love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK

[@lollylula6399]

Who's Sorry Now by Connie Francis is one of my favourites from the 50s, she had lots of other great songs too. Definitely keep diving in the 50s, so many many gems.

[@otisdylan9532]

This is one of the most classic doo wop ballads. Another doo wop ballad in the same league with it is "In the Still of the Nite" by The Five Satins. Also, keep checking out The Platters. "My Prayer" would be a good choice for next song from them.

[@STLFentonmom]

Pure talent. Sooooo beautiful 🥰

[@starfire6122]

Please react to Duke of Earl by Gene Chandler!! 50's and 60's were the best!💞✌

[@VelinCali]

I love The Masked Marauders’ Duke of Earl.

[@edithmaxim2041]

Al;l great songs.

[@4Topwood]

More romantic than The Platters singing "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"?

[@janethernandez724]

LOL! I remember my mother saying many years ago that one of my uncles would stand in front of the mirror with his brush pretending to sing this song! It was one of his favorite songs to sing to! Yes, the 50s and 60s had some really great music back then! It was a different time too,. If one can imagine how much of music of this era made an impact on many people's lives much like the music of our time does today just different. Enjoyed your reaction! Peace.

[@cazcarr2002]

This is beautiful and I know you already listened to the Bee Gees but I believe they created the most romantic song ever in 'Too Much Heaven.' They sang it live on the video and donated all profits to Unicef for Children. To this day I believe they have received 11 mil in royalties from it.

[@sheilathailand1903]

love the 50s tunes! great reaction! thx!

[@jacqueinebuss5514]

The 50's had some great singers and great songs.

[@kennykarlsson6691]

I have a request. The crests with Jonny maestro singing lead . Well everything he sings is amazing. Trouble in paradise is Great. He was one of the best doo wopp singers. And lets never forget frankie lymon and the teenagers. He was definetly up there with the greatest, but died to yong at the age of 25. Check out creation of love. Beautiful song. His voice is amazing. This music era is definetly my favorite. So much Great music from this time period. 💖

[@willnevada1]

Certainly one of the most important Doo Wop songs ever, and harmonically beautiful. It was covered by so many other great musicians. It’s sad that the artists that wrote and sung the original tune saw virtually no royalties from this classic master piece. Nice reaction, man.

[@janetwhite3373]

Yes! Earth Angel is definitely a classic! I remember falling asleep listening to the guys singing acapella down in the street! It was beautiful! Check out SO IN LOVE BY THE TYMES! 👍🎶 Duke of Earl also a classic!

[@janetwhite3373]

Duke of Earl! Another classic!

[@Cynthia...]

Now this one brings back memories. A great song to dance to with someone you really like.

[@NinaLove2008]

There’s seriously something to love beyond the talent and sound of the oldies like this group, Ella Fitzgerald and many others.

[@brookehornback1896]

Just had an experience!! I'm talking the heavens almost opened ,think I got a glimpse of an angeI.I Channeled some boogie woogie from 1962. Growing up my mom talked about seeing chubby checker live in New Orleans after her and dad married and before having the 5of us. How amazing he was singing playing piano looked towards the audience the entire show never at the keys.. I look up fats domino live 1962 in New Orleans..There it was! Footage of fats domino's concert in 1962 in New Orleans.. I understand now why she talked about that all the time . Not gonna spoil it ,gotta watch it.❤

[@realemiele.franco736]

Yes.. the FABULOUS 50's. I was born 20 years later and these "Doo Wop" street corner songs and singers are highly underrated and also recommended for understanding love songs. Playful romance is how my parents described it. Wow...all these years and I still remember the lyrics. Cool‼️😎

[@Alex-bl6oi]

There are so many great oldies. Every generation has its masterpieces.

[@amb6899]

Definitely perfection!!!! I believe this was known as the greatest Doowop song ever, i totally agree. Great lead singer Cleveland Duncan had a heavenly voice.

[@angelahall332]

My parents were married in 1959. So this was the music they listened to while dating. I got the pleasure of hearing this music when they pulled out their old records. So good.

[@Scorpion-Gamer82]

This is before my parents time (1957 and 1959). It is a beauty of a song. It was also heard in Back to the Future.

[@dagmar.6954]

The Penguins were an American doo-wop group from the 50's-60's. "Earth Angel" is their biggest hit & was used in the "Back To The Future" movies.

[@BeeWhistler]

You should definitely check out The Platters if you haven’t. They have the definitive cover of “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” which always reminds me of the movie “Always.” And you can very often find old appearances of these groups on video. I know The Platters were filmed singing “The Great Pretender” which is another biggie. Also, I’m not sure whether they’re doowop or not but The Drifters were outstanding. Check out “Up on the Roof” and “Under the Boardwalk” for them. Great set of pipes on the lead Penguin here, though. What a magical voice he had! This song does remind me of “Back to the Future” but also an episode of an 80s tv show where a couple who had been murdered during the 50s are haunting a place and a detective has to figure out the events that happened. A jealous would be lover killed them both and in the black and white flashback this song was playing on the car radio at the time. Very eerie combo.

[@JayveeTV]

I’ve done quite a bit of platters I’ve also done that suggestion search platters followed by JayveeTv on KZbin and it should pop up

Hi from the UK, I was only 2 when this was released , have heard it many times over the years, my nan loved them , so great .

[@Cashcrop54]

The songs of this era and type are what most of my early music memories are made of. Other strong memories are "Sad Movies Always Make Me Cry" by Sue Thompson and "Where The Boys are" by Connie Francis. They would be great choices to do next. What great music. Thanks for this reaction video.

[@lollylula6399]

I love Connie Francis

[@garyprue2030]

One of the first R. and B. songs to crack the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100. Before this, black artists rose to the top of the R & B charts, but not the Billboard Top 100...this broke open that discriminatory trend.

[@katg6325]

Love your reactions. I remember, Saturday mornings, waking up to this song (and many others) from this era as my mother played her reel-to-reel while cleaning house. Great memories.

You put a large smile on my face.

I agree this is a very romantic song. I remember it well. There is another similar song from the doo wop era that is also a romantic song. Would love to see your reaction to Goodnight My Love by Jesse Belvin. There were a lot of covers but Jesse’s is the original. It’s a song they would always play as the last song at our high school dances. Please give it a listen. It’s as good as Earth Angel.

[@nicholasferrara9227]

We love how you enjoy music from so many genres and eras! You are great,!

[@jasminehill6312]

I've always loved this song! I first heard the version by The Temptations

[@ujimajame4601]

As you said, this is a prime example of the Doo Wop sound so prominent in the '50's that laid the groundwork for the harmony of R & B in the '60's. (This is an audio version of them singing it live in 1956: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3e9gJ6sh6mFrJo) The earliest visual video of them singing it is from 1973 on The Midnight Special: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opbHpXefbN17itE. There is a clear similarity with this and "Tears On My Pillow" kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6nNgmaDlNtqrsU because when The Imperials had difficulty grasping the complex background vocals originally outlined for the song, Little Anthony suggested they just use the harmony from "Earth Angel." New Edition covered both songs on their Cd "Under the Blue Moon", which featured a surprise visit from Little Anthony during :Tears On My Pillow": kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZucaotrjal7qrM. As quiet as it's kept, the doo wop sound was even present in the early work of The Spinners, such as "In My Diary" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmSnnZdoeMuIfpY, (led by G.C. Cameron, the same guy that led them on "It's A Shame"), the work of the Dells and Barry White's production of Love Unlimited's "I Belong To You": kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpOck2Vph5qklaM.

Hi, Do yourself and us a real favor, react to Jackie Wilson’s “Danny Boy” His vocal range was absolutely incredible! A mind blower for sure. Elvis said he wouldn’t follow Jackie at a RR show, Michael Jackson also adored him. I got to see him live at the Bklyn Fox Allen Fred show in 1959. I never forgot it.

This is the oldest song I listen to in my MASSIVE top 40 collection. I listen to ALL hit music from 1955 & beyond. It doesn't matter who it is, or the style. I love it all! From rock to disco to girl bands to boy bands to easy listening to dance to rap to hip hop....... Streisand, Backstreet Boys, Aerosmith, La Bouche, John Denver, Connie Francis, all of the one hit wonders (and there are PLENTY!)........ It's all "Top 40" to me. Then there are the great songs that never hit the top 40, or the charts at all! I'm just a mainstream & album rock person. This song came out in December 1954. Fun fact: THREE different artists hit the top 40 with "Earth Angel" in 1955. The Penguins were the first. :)

If you enjoy music like this, try: The Five Stars - Atom Bomb Baby The Ink Spots - I Don't want to set the world on fire. Rocket 69 - Connee Allan Both songs were from the time things were fearful from nuclear war. The other one I find in a dark way funny is: Crawl Out Through The Fallout - Sheldon Allman and Some have featured in 'Fallout' on the xbox games. I love it when they put great music to gaming.

[@Johnny96ri]

The most romantic song ever was It's All Coming Back To Me Now, inspired by Wuthering Heights and written by Jim Steinman-versions by Pandora's Box, Celene Dion, and Meat Loaf with Marion Raven.
