THE VOGUES Turn around look at me Reaction - This is a big song in every sense! First time hearing

[@jmiltier-pu9dd]

I've always loved this song. There were so many of these groups in the 1960's.

[@karenj3611]

Me too, Loved the Vogues

[@kimberlymorrow8617]

I found this video by accident looking for another song by The Vogues and can’t help but comment. My dad, Don Miller, was the baritone in this group. Their harmonies are soothing and blend perfectly. They were childhood friends who were in touch all their lives. My dad passed away in 2021 but my mom still talks to Chuck and Huey. Thanks so much for the appreciation in your review - you made my day and warmed my heart. ❤

[@kimberlymorrow8617]

Note: Bill sadly passed away before my father. I failed to mention him but I loved all of them like family. ❤

[@stillstanding6031]

Some of the greatest harmonies---anywhere, anytime!

[@donnadubyak6504]

I'm from Pittsburgh, I could sing this song forward and backwards, that's how much I heard it growing up.

[@joshuagerthoffer2321]

Same. 😂

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

My daughter lives near Pittsburgh, though I can’t remember the exact city/town. And I also know this song by heart due to hearing it and singing it while growing up. Still love the song and The Vogues.

Try Vouges, "Five o'clock World!"

[@marybaillie8907]

Formed in high school in 1960 in Pennsylvania, their original name was The Val-Aires. This original was written by Jerry Capehart and Glen Campbell who wasn't credited for his part. The Vogues beautiful harmonies are mesmerizing, the orchestral backing just blends to perfection to make a great memory, a fantastic production.. It reached Number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100's. They had other great hits such as Five O'clock World and You're The One. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Daniel. I knew it was your pick.👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I was 13 when this was released. My 15 year old sis brought the 45 home one day and almost wore the needle out on her record player. Great song with the outstanding vocals and harmonies of The Vogues.

This would be called my jam some high school friends from Turtle Creek , Pennsylvania via my hometown of Pittsburgh. We used to listen to it on the radio and know they were locals. Only Chuck Blasko of the original 4 is alive and singing.

One if the most uplifting and melodic songs from the 60's. So beautiful.

[@joebell30]

My Mother loved this song and always said it reminded her of the Lord who was always walking behind her looking after her.

That big production was the legendary Wrecking Crew and Phil Spector's famous "Wall of Sound".

This is one of my favorite 60s pop songs, so lush, yet so much emphasizing the vocals and harmonies. Great song to sing to while driving in one's car.

[@ChuckHackney]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. It is because of the vocals, the harmony but also how it builds to such a stunning beautiful climax. And my friends all know how much I love a great climax!!!!!

Another great rock & roll group from the 60's. They are best known for their hits "Your The One", "Five O'Clock World", "Magic Town", "Turn Around, Look At Me" etc.

"You are My Special Angel" is another of their great songs.

I wouldn't categorize this group as R&R. They're Pop, definitely Easy Listening.

Glen didn't cover this song. Glen's was the original in 1961! The Vogues version is the COVER, lol.

[@lisademoss9308]

This was Glen Campbell's first hit reaching 60 in the top 100. Glen co-wrote this song in 1961 and he sounds much better singing it. I would love to hear his version. RIP Glen Campbell. ♥️🎶🎼🎵❤ He was so talented.

[@markos_vault]

A big hit in 1968. I dug it still do. I'm realizing how great their harmonies were listening on headphones. A great group from the great 60s.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Using an orchestra in a rock/R&B song is a fine art. For pop songs it's easily done and can produce a masterpiece such as "So Rare" by Jimmy Dorsey in 1957 or "Chanson d'Amour" by Dot and Artie Todd in 1959. With rock/R&B songs it was often used to make the record more palatable to the mainstream buying public but when used well it could elevate a rock/R&B song into a power ballad such as "Lonely Teardrops" and "She's So Fine" by Jackie Wilson which lost none of their soul but gained power by contrast and dynamic emphasis.

[@susanengland3919]

When I was a kid I played this song so much I nearly wore out the 45.

5: o'clock World is so cool, too! There is a video they did with workers doing robotic-style moves, symbolically showing their assembly line- type lives.

Glenn Campbell is listed as one of the writers of this song and it was his first recording.

[@johnparker8588]

They are like the Lettermen but in some ways even better. I loved their music because on dates we would take our girls to a drive in movie, turn the movie speaker off, slip music like this in the 8 track player or just turn the radio on WLS Chicago and get close and romance our date.

[@ApricotRse]

Several people here have correctly stated that Glen Campbell co-wrote this great song, but a few have incorrectly stated that Glen also covered this song. Glen recorded the ORIGINAL version in 1961 and released it as a single. This version by the Vogues is a COVER recorded in 1968.

[@tmr626]

Their hit songs "Magic Town" from '66 (Best post by: MusicMike's) and "Green Fields" from '69 are great tunes too. Speaking of doo wop, check out the awesome song "Denise" by Randy And The Rainbows.

[@beethechange4243]

This song was the original creation of African American Saxophonist, Clyde Dickerson. He wrote the song for my mother and vowed never to marry until she married him. Clyde also known as (Mr. Watergate), first sang this song to my mother when I was a little girl in Olean, NY. about 1958. Clyde died in 2003 and never received credit for the son.

[@johnparker8588]

Sorry Daniel, Harri, I much prefer the Glen Campbell version from 1961 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHnIo2idmr5_mpY I don't think the song is strong enough for the big production on this version. Glen's is more accessible. His voice is better too. Glen recorded another version in 1968 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH-3hXeFfM56eKM which may have inspired The Vogues version

[@danielvolk237]

As much as I like Glen's version to say he has a better voice is a bit of a reach. Glen's voice has a distinct twang that sounds kind of tinny. The Vogues are in the Vocalists Hall of Fame along with The Association who are also fantastic vocalists. People have their own opinions and I like both versions but Glen's version did not even crack the Top 40 so obviously more people liked the Vogues version which cracked the Top Ten. There is a song I like 3 versions of, "I heard it through the grapevine." I love Marvin Gaye's version, Gladys Knight, and finally CCR's. All great versions that I enjoy. Sorry for carrying on so long. Thanks for you comment. 😊
