One of the most romantic songs of all time. I don’t understand why music can’t be like this today

The only thing more beautiful than hearing the song for the first time is getting to watch others fall in love with it the way I did. So beautiful

I've heard this song a zillion times and it still makes me melt.

Most romantic song ever written period.

My wife and I have been hypnotized by this song since it hit the radio in 1959. It has always sounded like something you heard in a dream you had. The song goes back before the Flamingoes had it. But their guitar player heard a new way to do it in his dream the night before the session. That's where that shoo-bop shoo-bop came from. He thought it would be cool to show people what his dream sounded like. He was right and the song became a monster hit. Showing folks a groovy thing and turning them on to it. It's the same thing groovy people do no matter what year it is. Come to think of it you guys are showing everybody groovy stuff and turning us on too. It is just the same now as it was then!

Truly one of the most hauntingly beautiful love songs ever written, and I'm certain that the Flamingo's performance will remain THE version listeners remember forever more ....

Great selection. The Flamingos’ harmonies are otherworldly.

Is this not one of the greatest, most beautiful, romantic, insightful songs you've ever heard? It's at the very top of my list of perfect recordings -- just incredible... Other commentators confirm that I'm neither alone nor out of my mind when I laud this song as one of the greatest ever! Everything about it is pure gold!

It seems like a whole new world is opening up for you two. Discovering all the great talent and class of the old Doo-wop groups and music from the past. This kind of music carried over into the 60's & 70's especially with some of the groups from Philadelphia- The Stylistics, The Intruders, The Originals, The Delfonics, and others.

This song will never become old.

One of my all time favorites. Definitely one of the classiest love songs ever.

Ain't nothing on the charts today that will ever compare to this song, or songs from this era.

The "shoo-wop shoo wop," is the heartbeat of the guy when he sings this to his girlfriend...🥰😍

I love when young people can realize parents and grandparents were listening to this music...YES...they were hip to good shit...thanks to you for understanding old songs are awesome and that this is where we get our songs from today ❤

That's when the brothers and sisters honed their vocal skills on the street corners , school yards and bathrooms and hallways for acoustics)and especially in church, that created the music that touches people around the world today.

Originally written in 1934, The Flamingos version went to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Simply Iconic Song.

This song came out before I was born. But this right here, has got to be the most powerful beautiful song. I mean, the harmonies on this song are perfect. I truly believe that Doo Wap groups were the best. Great choice. This one gives me goosebumps.

I remember being 13 years old, late hot summer night at a fair with amusement park rides, the lights, the smell of the cotton candy and this song being played over the loudspeakers. It was all like some crazy slow motion dream. It struck me as so beautiful and will stay with me forever. This is the ultimate song.

Still gives me chills all these years later. My wife and I chose this as our wedding song. To think that young people used to stand on the street corner and harmonize like this....just incredible. Sure wish that happened today

This, folks, is pure music at its finest. There isn’t a rapper in existence that could even be in the same universe talent-wise as these incredibly gifted musicians.

Lord have mercy! Played at my wedding as our first dance. It makes me smile and cry at the same time. Love y’all 💕

Mel's reaction is utterly sublime. The girl certainly knows her heart and feelings. Bless you, Mel.

If only today's music, lyrics and harmonies were even close to these amazing records, the world would be a happier place. ❤

An icon of popular music. A classic! Created in 1959, and it still stands neck-and-neck with other great ballads.

The Flamingos were one of the early 50's doo-wop groups. They were known for their great harmonies & choreography moves. They influenced other acts such as The Temptations later on. "I Only Have Eyes For You" is their biggest hit but they had quite a few good songs "If I Can't Have You", "That's My Desire", "Golden Teardrops", "I'll Be Home", "Lovers Never Say Goodbye" etc.

I was a little girl when this came out but I knew on some level that this is how I wanted to be treated when I grew up. I still get chills when I hear this song.

You'd probably love the Platters too. Only You, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, among others are all gold.

The movie "A BRONX TALE" comes to mind when i hear this song.

Over 60 years and I still love love this song. Makes me feel good that this generation enjoy our music!

I’m 82. When I was a teenager we had dates with girls. We listened to this kind of music on WLS AM Chicago from Southeast Missouri. This music put us in a romantic mood. Girls couldn’t resist us when this stuff was on the radio and we were parked in a secluded spot.

The greatest song and group of all time. These voices, their harmony is beyond compare. The Flamingos were the best!!!

I absolutely believe her reaction is sincere lol, i first saw this song on tv in an Amazon commercial with an elderly couple dancing to it. So when i came to youtube to listen to it; im a grown-ass man im 28 and the song got to me too, put me in a mood lol! Its timeless

I still cant believe this song exists. It's unreal how amazing it is.

I can't believe you had the Flamingos. I was 16 when I first heard them. I am 73 now and my new boyfriend introduced me to them. They were wonderful. Still love to Hear them.

The Flamingos was and is one of the Best Doo wop Groups or Harmonies of all time Lovers never say good buy is one of my all time favorite and Dream of life time great

Fantastic reaction to a great song. We can see that Shawn was floored by it and it speaks to his love for Mel... LOVE IT !!!

I was told by my grandmother that when she saw them live when they performed this song they made them girls nearly wet themselves they were blown away by this performance

73 years old This 50's musictakes me back to a simpler time and place. Still remember slow dancing with Gail to this song Haven't seen her for over 50 years but when i hear this song I'm right back there.

These songs are best appreciated when you’re slow dancing with the lights dimmed.

The talent of these guys is beyond anything today. Just amazing.

One of my top 10 all time love songs

You two are so sweet! Shawn, I loved it when you took her hand. These songs are written and sung to get a certain response and yours was genuine. There were so many beautiful love songs written and performed during the doo-wop era. And I love that you two are exposing yourselves to so much different music. This kind of music is rapidly being forgotten.

I love how you guys appreciate my Grandmother's and Mother's music. They introduced me to it and I never forgot these musicians talent. 🤩😍

"Sh-bop, sh-bop" Sweet! That piano and that guitar with the slight reverb and the sh-bop sh-bops give this song a mystery feeling that persists to this day. Credit The Flamingos with adding those parts to the song, which was written twenty five years before they made the song theirs with their 1959 recording of it.

This song was from my parents generation, so when I danced with my wife to it at our wedding, people’s jaws dropped at the first notes. It’s a magical tune.

The word "masterpiece" falls 'way short of describing this song. it's like walking along with your love on your arm, minding your own business, and then stumbling, never minding that you have left everything and everyone you knew behind, and discovering at some point that you have fallen completely into heaven.

I’m a 50-something-year-old guy who listens to mostly jazz, classical and folk music but suddenly had the urge to seek out this song, which I used to hear on the radio every once in a while as a “golden oldie” when I was younger. I listened to it and then saw this video in the feed and checked it out because I was curious. Let me just say, I really loved that the two of you were just getting into the sheer beauty of the song. The chord changes and harmonies have a magic to them. Sometime I’d like to see a video explanation of what musically makes this song so unique, but for now, just seeing you younger folks just bask in its beauty was rewarding in itself. We need more beauty in the world and more people who are not afraid to unashamedly be moved by beauty when they come across it. Bless you two.

Hey guys - if you want to stop for a few and take care of things, it's ok - we can wait... Been listening to this song for 65 years - very used to this reaction - LOL!

Nice reaction. I was born in 1959 and this song was our wedding song. I still feel this way toward my wife after 28 years. Thanks for the reaction, I feel it all. :)

Seriously, there is nothing like dancing with the one you love to this song! :)

One of my favorite top 5 LOVE SONGS ❤❤❤. Gorgeous melody, smooth lyrics, the harmonizing. Perfection. Through the decades when other performers covered the song....they all nailed it, because its just a magnificent song.

I loved how lovey you and your wife became during the song! It was just beautiful to see how much you love each other! This song made and makes many women melt. Yes this is dwowhop . Mel’s hair looks beautiful and fantastic!

A GREAT Doo Wop song by a GREAT group. A song you’ll never get tired of listening to (I first heard it in 1959 and still want to hear it ).

I’ve always loved this song. Besides the voices and harmony, it has a great example of one of the hallmarks of 50s and 60s music-the BACKBEAT! You hear the slow downbeat, but also the faster beat in the background, usually made by a piano or keyboard. This song is such classic! One of so many great songs from “my era”.

Peaches and Herb.... "Reunited" is just what the Doctor ordered....a perfect song for such a perfect couple...

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! My husband and I danced our first dance to this song in July 2002. Light some candles, have a glass of wine and dance in your living room.

So glad you guys are discovering these great tunes. The Doo Wop era was the most magical in all of rock history. So many amazing groups, so many amazing songs. Gotta dive into more too, like The Platters, Maurice Williams, etc. Nothing will ever be like this era, if course the 50s hold a special place in my heart. This song is the most dreamier, most romantic of that era, and one of the most in history. I've always loved I Only Have Eyes for You. Read up a bit on how Terry arranged it. Thanks for the vid, great stuff!

This song is timeless...good Lord!

I just love your reactions to a Doo Wop song it is pure classical...Doo Wop music is classic and will never be undone...

Truly one of the most beautiful songs of all time. It has an entire feeling that takes you away to a different, wonderful place.

Doo Wop!!! That's a rabbit hole you could go down for years! Not hard to see why this music is still being played. Awesome guys! Try A Kiss From Your Lips by them. Heavenly harmonies.

REAL ROMANTIC MUSIC, a true heart can only feel That Song!

I’m so glad to see this reaction. This song is in an adorable commercial that is out now.

Linda Jones...."YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE" is a song for loving couples such as Shawn and Mel... this song will easily be in your top 10 reactions for the 2021 yr.

This song is amazing!!!! What great thing to have your loved one play this for you. It makes me miss my guy so much. He died feb 29 2020. He was the romantic one in our relationship.

Another great one.This is a beautiful song.Check out Tommy Edwards "Its All in the Game",and Smokey Robinson and Linda Rondstadt "Ooo Baby Baby."

So romantic!

The ULTIMATE slow dance song!

Evergreen - Barbra Streisand. The love song from the movie A Star is Born from my generation. The Way We Were - Barbra Streisand) (The Three Fates - ELP Take a pebble Knife edge live from The Beat Club) (Wishing You Were here - Chicago & the Beach boys Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon - Chicago live Tanglewood and be sure it is 14 minutes and not the cut up version)

There were so many of these wonderful groups in the 60's that were masters of love songs, just makes you melt like butter.

I still listen to all the Oldies ...has meaning and can be related to so deeply.

Real music right here! Brings back so many sweet memories of my teen years at the hop. The brothers had some sweet harmonies and baby making music back then. How I wish this type of music would make a comeback.

Be well! The Flamingos look good on both of you. Love you kissed your wife's hand. This song I hope will be a keeper for you. Peace and Love

This song sets fire to the soul and melts you like a candle! Truly beautiful.

The Flamingos sang a truly magnificent version of "Where or when" from 1962. Lush, deep and gentle...it always reminds me of a dance floor filled with slow dancing couples and a mirror ball filling the room with sparkles. I loved to watch you deeply enjoying this ballad...especially when he gently kissed her hand. Beautiful!

This is one of if not the most beautiful song ever written ....live your reaction , it's mine too

Great reactions to this classic. I grew up with this music. They were one of my favorite groups. I'm so happy you are enjoying it, and thanks for bringing back some great memories. Next I will listen to your reactions to The Duprees. You can't go wrong with Doo-Wop. Keep smiling and stay safe.

I was 8 years old when this came out and has always been one of my favorites! I will ALWAYS love this version!! STILL makes me melt, too!!❤

Real Love ❤️ song. A wonderful choice.

I loved this first version, later I think Simon and Garfunkel recorded their version. The song is so sweet 🥰

One of my top favorite song of all times. This also reminds off the movie, " A Bronx Tale" from 1993. The part with C and Jane. He's Italian and she's African American. I remember hearing it from American Graffiti too. Yall need to add this timeless classic on your Playlist. I can see in my mind when everyone either out crusing, or out parking over looking the city, hills or ocean.

Yeah. I'm 71 - that song still gets me every time.

I can't say to much about this song by The Flamingos except that words can't explain how I feel listening to this song and those groups from the past which were outstanding and all about love. ❤👍

Shalom family.... Man o...man.. see how smooth our grandparents were...😱😱😱🙏🏾🙏🏾🧐🧐🎯 Smooth love songs with pinpoint accuracy no wonder they stay together forever 😱👍🏾👍🏾🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞💞🌹💞💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞💞🌹💞

This romantic love song goes way back to 1934, where it was introduced in the film Dames.

Timeless music!🙂❤ My dad LOVED this type of doo-wop soul music! Legendary group. RIP to those no longer with us.💐

I was 7 when the Flamingos released their cover of this song in 1959, during the height of the doo-wop era. In my mind, I can picture my 20-something parents dancing to this song. Romantic to the nth degree; that's how you let someone know how wonderful, how special they are. As an adult, I have shared this song with my spouse. Your reactions warm my heart! Shawn and Mel, you are appreciated, and I look forward to checking out more of your content!

This was recently featured in a commercial......I don't even remember what the product was........I was so caught up in this song which I have loved my whole life. It was an elderly married couple slow dancing to this and it would flash back to them in their youth..dancing to this. One of the most beautiful commercials ever. No idea what they were selling..lol

I have been waiting for this one!

Haunting. I feel as if I'll dream about this song tonight. The unforgettable Flamingos.

I'm so happy to have you back. I missed you but you deserve your Christmas weekend off.

Turn on the fans and Ac in the room to help Mel, Yes they were the Kings of Doh Wop.😊

It's called harmony. It doesn't get any better than this. Shame it no longer exists with any of todays music.

I absolutely loved this song as a child listening to the radio while I fell asleep. This song and the Duprees You Belong To Me, so lovely and romantic. 👍👍👍

Doo-Wop heaven.

Back then they had a special way of telling someone that they loved someone.

I saw the FLAMINGOS back in the live and they were fabulous. They are still my favorite group of all time

The Cadillac of DooWop groups! One of my Mom’s favorites. ❤️❤️❤️

Before social media and cell phones, the way things used to be., I'm a 6'4" white man from WV born in 1959, and this gorgeous song brings tears to my eyes. True love was a REAL thing that lasted a lifetime....It's all gone now and so is the beautiful music black people used to sing. RAP= songs of death and destruction! Get it yet?

This is one of the all time greats, thanks for sharing. In my 70 years I must have sung this a million times.
