Kind of strange and eerie watching a bright and happy video but only knowing that most or all of the people in this video have passed.

KZfaq is a blessing that allows us travelling through the music history.

Older people sometimes say that the Internet is a mistake, when in fact the era of the internet is the *only* era in human history where you can truly revisit the past.

Their voices are their own instruments🤩

I love the diversity of age in this comment section. A prime example of how music can bring people together.

Notice how the interviewer asks ALL of the group questions. Nowadays interviewers asks only the lead singer questions.

I was born in 45 and remember these songs as if yesterday. Mr. Sandman my favorite of all time, still hear it as I did in my youth, with goosebumps!

The Chordettes will never go out of fashion. Many of your comments prove that many people want the old spirit back. It’s a matter of us being bold enough to speak up about it.

when a camera from the 60s has better quality than most security cameras

KZfaq is really the closest thing we can ever get to a time machine

I used to sing Lollipop all the time, reminds of when My auntie was still alive

I still get fullbody chills when I hear the harmonies in ‘Mr. Sandman’. Incredibly talented ladies.

Imagine watching this in colour. It must have been so pretty!

“It’s only been out 2 weeks” It’s so crazy to think that it’s been out for 61 years now...

I am 73yrs old - I still have a collection of 78's (who can remember those!!) Unfortunately can't play them as I don't have a record player from the old days but I have their CD and I still pay this music - did a dance routine for the aged at their Xmas party with a group of "girls" and it went down an absolute treat! Lovely to see the looks on the older faces - sheer joy and joined in the singing - made my heart sing!

I listen to a lot of different genres of music. Black Sabbath, Boston, Mozart, Hoffman, Diane Krall, Winona Judd, The Scorpions, Epica, Alan Jackson etc.,... However, the music from the 50's and 60's always have a certain charm that I can not ignore and can not disregard. It is so innocent and pure. Thank you, NRRArchives for presenting this. It is very fulfilling to listen to the music that my Dad and Mom listened to and added to the people they became. I want to express a very sincere and heart felt, Thank you.

She said she hopes it's going to be a hit... lol Here we are in 2019

I can't imagine how beautiful those dresses must have looked in real life, whatever color they were.

Awww dear the last one at 95 bless her and the rest of these nice ladies they will never be forgotten 🙏 some of these tunes are more than good I like these and Northern soul

Feb 2024 and who's still listening.

Songs I listen to with friends: Ice cube, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac. Songs I listen to by myself:

1958: lollipop lollipop oh lolli lolli lolli 2019: *SHE TOLD ME PUT MY HEART IN THE BAG AND NOBODY GETS HURT*

I was born on 2003, but I still wish I was born earlier, those days were beautiful. 🥺✨❤️

Ever though these woman could actually perform and sing there was still a sound track in the back ground. Still they executed both songs well . Dick Clark doing the impromtu male voice over caught the girls off guard as you can clearly see. Spectacular ! 06/26/2022

I was born in 1955 this in 1958. My mom used to play it all the time. I’ll be 66 this year. My mom 91. Great songs like sandman never die.

It’s weird to think that there was actually probably a lot of colour around them but we only get to see it in black and white and grey Thanks for all the really cool feedback and facts! 👽

Dick Clark was absolutely wonderful! He had such a wonderful companionship style with the audience. He knew how to make you feel as if he knew you personally! RIP Mr. Clark!

Miss you Dick Clark and the American Bandstand. Great memories with lots of wonderful music. The show in the video was before my time but I love the songs in this video.

“Mr. Sandman...” “Yes~?” I GOT THE FEELS!

It's weird to think that they were color in real life.

I was only about 8 when Mr. Sandman came out, but I fell in love with the song and the Chordettes. My sister was 15 and she and the other teenagers knew all the songs and all the groups. Who would have ever thought that all that beauty and post-war peace would end. Thanks for posting this. And, Dick Clark looks the same in the 50s as he did in the 70s,

I did ushering for my highschool's production of James and the Giant Peach about two weeks ago. Our doors would open with Lollipop by the Chordettes, then end with Mr. Sandman. The other gentleman I was working with as an usher for the show learned to associate the opening notes of Lollipop as our que to start smiling and bopping our head along with the music as guests walked through the door. Then the opening notes of Mr. Sandman was our que to get ready, close the doors, and head inside for the show. I have to say, wearing my grandmother's "Sophisticated Ladies" stageolay production tophat from 1962 and listening to this as I ushered for a show I didn't win the audition for is the closest I've felt to stardom, and I think I'd prefer it this way. I loved ushering the show in my beautiful little dress & tophat. Always a good memory, and these songs will continue to remind me of that memory.

Sad to think that everyone in this video has probably passed on already.

a

I listen over and over and never get tired of hearing them sing!

Rest in peace chordettes, you will be loved, missed, and listened to.

Everyone is wearing a suit, everyone is stylish, well-groomed, gentle... I think we missed really good things.

mr. sandman gave me chills.its crazy to think that it wasn't autotuned at all.

Anyone else got chills and smiled when they started singing Mr. Sandman?

What awesome voices and harmonies,they really on another level these classic oldies.

ohh the time when auto-tune didn't exist, just pure talent

Sadly, Lynn Evans Mand, the surviving member of The Chordettes died on February 6, 2020 at the age of 95

1954 Mr Sandman, it makes me cry, why? I wasn't even here yet!, it took me still a decade to arrive to this unique planet! full of music!

Hey look kids! This IS REAL music. No autotune, pitch correction or excessive processing. Just awesome REAL talent. Pay attention!

I was 17 years old. I didn't really care for it then, but was impressed with their harmony.

The Chordettes: Sing. Crowd: Normal cheering. The Chordettes: Start throwing lollipops during ‘Lolipop’ The Crowd: Loses their absolute shit.

Thr chordettes literaly made every trending song rn

Days are long but years are short.

Generation

The way they turned in shock when they asked for Mr.Sandman and he answered, "yes."

Still GREAT after 60Plus years!!! Love 'em

I'm NOW 70 but I have only liked the music of the 1940's, 1950's and up to 1963. Most people my age started liking music when the Beatles came out up to the current music. I think I was born too late and should have been part of the Greatest Generation like my Lucky Parent's were for sure!

"There are about 300 of us here. It may sound like an army, but there's only 300." *Laughs in Spartan*

I work at a 50's themed dinner in Sweden and hear this song often. 70 years later and the world is still loving them.

This is called talent. You work at it until it seems effortless. It takes time.

Beautifully blended voices and an enjoyable variety of personalities. Very enjoyable Sandman!

ugh i imagine myself listening to this in a cold christmas day inside a warm house with the chimney on and the smell of cinnamon or vanilla is going through my nostrils lol

My favorite part is the fact that grown-ups want lollipops that bad.

好きな歌なので聴けてよかったです！ありがとうございます

My brother ( Albert) favorite song from the four tops, he now rests at the national cemetery along with his band of brothers. RIP

I can't believe my grandparents had this and all I have is instant access to millions of albums on bandcamp and spotify.

The intro for Mr. Sandman is just such a unique and memorable bit. It's like a mesmerizing dream.

I loved Mr. Sandman was an amazing and dreamy song. Those days were so sweet

This footage 🎥🎞️🎞️📺 it's priceless , The music 🎼🎼 Takes me back to 8 tracks 🦅🇺🇲🦅❤️‼️

Me: *really enjoying this song* *looks at the comments* Y’all: most of the people are dead 😔✊🏽

60 years later and we're still listening. I guess you could say Jennie that your sneaky hunch was right.

David, I haven’t ever seen such a more beautiful tribute to our beautiful lat eQueen. Thank you. NL🇨🇦

Long before I was born but l love 💗 50s and 60s music 🎶

They truly had no idea how popular those two songs would be in the years to come.

The Chordettes are looking down at us from their afterlives and are proud of us for enjoying their music ☺️

Great music and it takes me back about forty years. Greet!

I am a barrio lass. I can't remember when I first heard this song until year 2022 and that now I'm already 78 yo, what I can say is that the Chordettes are great artists.

I wanna know what color their dresses were.

This Era is so dreamy!!!

You know how sometimes in life your fond memories are spoilt when you watch the video.... I had to shut my eyes so I could see again the singers I had imagined them to be as a kid. It's still the great tune I knew from my childhood

Mr. Sandman always puts me in a good mood. The harmonies are beautiful.

how they said “bum bum bum bum” in perfect harmony just wished they were still music like this 4:51

oh my god all the people in the theatre might be dead

Amazing voices 😊😊😊😊

I loved Mr Sandman. It was a popular song when I was a little girl in the 1950’s❤️

I've heard a lot of women groups, but the Chordettes harmony was pretty flawless.

"Do you think you have a hit?" and here I am watching it sixty years later.

One of my favorite childhood tap dance routines was done to Lollipop.

I feel Love on this music❤ Feelings so much deeper, love you!!

1958 wow!!

The key changes in Mr. Sandman are so flawless and they executed the whole song effortlessly

so charming, so magical, so innocently sweet 💕💕❤❤💕💕😍😍

😮I’m in such AWE!!! Without music 🎶 UNBELIEVABLE, amazing and such a wonderful, beautiful sound/s! How do they possess such talent…a true wonderous GIFT for Our World 💖 👏👏👏🤷‍♀️👏👏👏

when singers used to throw candy in the crowds, and not venereal disease. good times.

Surprisingly, we still like lollipops 62 years later.

Beautiful SONG TIMELESS CLASSIC ❤😍🥰🎶🎵🔥

Times of past bring us back to a sense of love and respect 🙏🏻 ❤️

It’s crazy to think that this is absolutely zero auto tune. They sound like angels 🥺💕

The innocence...

Lovely.....our nation misses this..God Bless

Какая прелесть! А эта запись- моя ровесница! Как интересно, спасибо!

When the dude said *YYYEEEESSS~?* They almost laughed.

These women were probably some of the most wholesome women to ever come out of Hollywood and just the music industry in general. Rest in peace to all 4 of them. I hope their lives were just as magical as their music. ❤

My sister and I and 2 friends, in the 3rd & 4th grade, sang this song together at our schools talent show...so much fun! Our audience loved it!! We are now 74 & 75 😅😄

So, so so lovely and wonderfully they were ❤ and now, now they are all gone.
