The Superbs "Baby Baby All the Time"

American Bandstand. September 19, 1964. The sound is definitely 60's, but I like how they retain the classic moves of the 50's.

[@MusicandDancing4Ever]

What a beautiful group, three handsome men and a beautiful lady who had class and innocence, we'll never see an era like this again.

[@michaelhughes432]

You're right, unfortunately!

[@ksmcouncilspear4757]

Man those back up singers could harmonize! Such a beautiful classy lead singer.

[@HatianHurricane]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ERA FOR OUR PEOPLE! WE STILL LOVED OURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to watch this 100 times and I will never be tired of it

[@nydiaswayne4235]

This song was written by my daddy (Bobby Swayne Sr)

[@richardcline3148]

I loved your dad's work for Dore Records. The Superbs records were huge hits in Pittsburgh and still get play today. Thanks to our beloved Terry Lee who played them all !!

[@jaaess2]

This song was written by Bobby Troup who was a multi-talented guy. He sang and performed, had his own trio, acted and wrote many songs, among them Route 66, Tenderly and The Girl Can't Help It. He was also an actor and played in lots of movies and TV shows among which are Emergency and Mannix.

Indeed! I heard Superbs being broadcast on KFOX-FM, Chuck Johnson's R & B radio show in 1965 while living in Venice, Ca. DJ Chuck played tunes that nobody else would give airplay. He had a top 40 list...lots of Whispers 45's and other Dore label artists!

The superb are bad ass, especially cruising Saturday night in my 63 Impala blasting the oldies like this one, social media I'm going crazy finding all these oldies, and the videos, instead of the same oldies from Motown, there was a lot more music that got lost in time, but u tube is off tha chain,

[@ksmcouncilspear4757]

My dad had a '64 gold metalflake paint...had those "curb feelers" would cruise around San Fernando valley with him...my mom called his car the "gold toilet"!

I agree, but I am from Detroit!! Hitsville USA was an innovator in the 50's and 60's for sure!!!! The Philly Sound was equally as good !!!

[@libertyone5853]

All I can say is SUPERB. This is music, not the rap crap today!

[@munchiesmartinez8901]

This song holds very special memories for me. I went to one of my very first house parties in the early '80s with some great friends of mine. Oldies were playing in the living room and I remember slow dancing to this song. Such fun times. I love it.

[@fasx56]

So many of the Groups from the 1960s were great singers. History will not bring us another decade like that one, a unique decade of revolutionary changes in our culture which produced the hundreds of singing groups and many single artists and the love for dancing that was going on every weekend, many great memories for sure.

[@wandajones-wilson1871]

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WHILE THE NEWER GENERATIONS THE 80'S & 90'S BABIES THINK THEY'VE DISCOVERED THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, THEY WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHT IT WAS LIKE GROWING UP IN THE 60'S & 70'S. WE R OUR OWN DYNASTY. THEY WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE THE NOSTALGIA WE HV FELT ON THE INSIDE . SOMETIMES I FEEL AS THOUGH IVE TRANSCENDED ANOTHER DIMENSION. U R RITE HISTORY SHALL NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS FEAT EVER AGAIN. LONG GONE R THO DAYS. GOD BLESS ✝️ MS WANDA

[@Idelia412]

I remember this song so well that I bought it back then and still have it. I cannot understand how it only got to 83 on Billboards 100 top hits.

[@cynthiapickett7403]

Probably due to dominance of the Beatles; this was 1964.

[@richardsoffice9176]

This was sort of a, "regional hit," good in Los Angeles, perhaps in some other areas, but not particularly on a National basis. We Oldies Collectors enjoy this; it will live, forever!

This song is absolutely beautiful.... I know I was born in the wrong era.I would of loved to of been a teenager when songs like this were around, I was only 9 when this song was out and only learned about music like this from my late hubby . He loved music like this....

[@nycsongman9758]

I'd only discovered this gem of a record *this year,* and I couldn't get enough of their sweet harmonies, and particularly that angelic soprano of Ms. Green. *Then,* this great clip popped up in my YT feed, and I've never clicked on a vid so quickly: Their record here, but hinted at the class, and grace that the group displayed here on AB; so-o good to see; and Ms. Green is beautiful, and it's clear why she was snatched up by, and married to an NFL star.

[@lajas46]

She's a cutie pie. Great song

[@leonardlumbers]

Thank heck for old-time record stores! Walked into my local shop today while the Miss Toni Fisher cover (The Big Hurt) was playing and asked about the singer. The clerk had put The Superbs on because another regular customer had just come in and he figured they'd like it. The charm worked! The store sold two copies of the Kent label Superbs compilation in under five minutes! I see that a couple of Superbs family relations are commenting here and just wanted to note the group made a few new fans here in good ol' 2016. Good music lasts forever.

The B-Side on the 45 rpm record was “I was born when you kissed me” it was played briefly in early 1965 after Baby Baby All The Time, beautiful song. I think The Whispers recorded it first. These songs were played here in ELA & Boyle Htgs. Great Music & I love this clip. I never wore leather during that time. Not until the 80’s. When I was in my 30’s.

Beautiful song, but too short and the ending not long enough. Great backing vocals!! Great looking guys! (especially the middle one!) Her voice is PERFECT for this song. I love their performance. The sound and backing vocals is definitely 60's and even 50's sound and style. My kind of music! Great job SUPERBS!!

[@jamesalford3734]

In this era of music, songs could not extend beyond 3 minutes and most were two and a half minutes in length in order to fit radio formats and television tape times, but longer versions could sometimes be found on an album.

Congratulations to a superb group with Elenore Green. I remember them well in Los Angeles. We did performances for Hunter Hancock at schools like Jordan High, Fremont and usually each week. I remember Bobby Swain as the member of the group. I am and was on the show circuit too for Hunter Handcock. Ricardo King with "At the Harlem Center" "Won'tca Come On Home" and "On A Hot Summer Day In The Big City" on Joker Records my recorded songs & regional hits back then. produced by Hal Davis of Motown Records.
