Love this song so much. The scenes are from American Graffiti, a movie y'all should watch. The scene you stopped on was Wolfman Jack, he was a DJ and hosted The Midnight Special.

Highly recommend “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” by The Platters, released in 1958. Powerhouse vocals by lead vocalist Tony Williams, and music that makes you feel, y’all would love it.

This song was recorded in a room, live, with ONE MICROPHONE. That's when talent was EVERYTHING

The video is showing scenes from the movie American Graffiti. Lots of stars and great music. A movie worth watching!

If y'all want a killer uptempo doo-wop tune, here's a great one: "I Wonder Why" by Dion & the Belmonts.

You would really like "Only You" by the Platters; amazing harmonies and, wow, the range on the lead singer!

Those pics are from a movie AMERICAN GRAFFITI, the songs and cars are all in there ,A MUST WATCH

This is my grandfather. I'm super happy you all appreciate his music! He was so happy that people loved his music and he loved his fans! Thank you for sharing this with the world!

Another wonderful song from the '50s is "I Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos. It's one of the most beautiful love songs ever. I know you'll love it! 🌞

It's a beautiful song. You haven't heard Stand by Me by Ben E. King (a few years later). It's an important song and later covered by John Lennon. :)

Used to sing this in the car with my daughter when she was about 5/6. She’s now in her 30’s. Boys to Men did a great cover.

Ronnie Spector died. She was in the Ronnetts and did that song “ take me home tonight” with Eddie Money. You did a great reaction video to that. RIP

I had a sister that was 12 years older than I, so I heard this music when I was very young. I remember her coming home from school and watching American Bandstand on television.

The Five Satins are an American doo-wop group, best known for their 1956 million-selling song, "In The Still Of The Night." They had some other songs such as "Pretty Baby (That's Why I Sing)", "A Night To Remember", "To The Aisle" etc.

Absolutely one of the best doo-wop songs ever

Amber, as a movie and music fan, you should watch the film "American Graffiti" (1973), starting Ron Howard as a young man. It's an excellent coming-of-age movie set in 1962. Excellent doo wop and early rock soundtrack, too.

This was recorded in a church basement St. Bernadette in New Haven Ct. 💜

Here in New York, the oldies station wcbs-fm 101.1 used to do a countdown of the all-time greatest Tunes every year back in the day. And this was always the number one song. Truly classic

Doo wop is always a great one to listen to. Other great doo wop hits: "Duke of Earl" - Gene Chandler "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" - Curtis Lee & The Halos "Those Oldies But Goodies" - Little Caesar & The Romans "Book Of Love" - The Monotones "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" - Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers

Soooo nice….the video scenes are from the movie , American Graffiti. Such good music throughout that movie..a must see. Big stars, Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, Suzanne Somers, and more… The radio disk jockey is the legendary Wolfman Jack ! It was the pre-quell to the tv show, Happy Days.

I'm only 36 years old but I had older generation parents and when I was growing up one of my favorite songs I always listened to as a teenager was Dion and the bellmonts "teenager in love". Absolutely love the voice

Ronnie Milsap incorporated this into his hit "Lost In The Fifties Tonight". Great song and video. Both songs have the classic tenor sax solo.

I had teenage sisters when this song came out, because of them as a very young person, I got to appreciate the music of the day through my teenage sisters.… This song brings back fond memories of them and the music

Most of the images are from “American Graffiti” also known as “the movie that paid for Star Wars.” This song is so very beautiful.

The video is showing stills from the movie "American Graffiti" which is filled with great music like this and great cars.

Two more great songs from the early 60s are "You Belong to Me" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the doo-wop group "The Tokens." Hope you can squeeze them in!

This, and 40's big band is the music my Dad loved.

Classic doo-wop from 1956. My parents were in high school! Boyz II Men did a great cover of this song in 1992. It was also in the movie Dirty Dancing. It was originally released as "In the Still of the Nite" so it wouldn't be confused with the Cole Porter song of the same name. As far as I know, it is the only non-Christmas song to have ever charted on the Billboard Hot 100 THREE different times! For more by this group, check out "To the Aisle" and "I'll Be Seeing You". You should also do "I Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos.

Back in the 50's they didn't have the technology they have today. This is pure talent, absolutely legendary. Great Channel by the way, keep up the good work!

This is my mom and dads song… been married 61 years! ❤️

I love 50's music and I'm only 44! My mom and dad raised me to love and appreciate music from our past. This song is one of my favorites along with "At Last", by Etta James!🎶

Great choice! It's definitely time for you to react to The Platters, also from the late '50s. Tony Williams, their lead singer, had a fantastic voice. I suggest "Only You," "My Prayer," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" or "The Great Pretender."

These are not photos but stills from an amazing movie called American Graffiti. Fantastic soundtrack! Made in 73 but takes place in the 50's.

IF you like this, you will definitely love "The Platters". They are the absolute smoothest sound of the 50's. "Only You", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "The Great Pretender" all so good.

From the 50s you've got to check out The Platters, everything they sang was beautiful: Only You, The Great Pretender, Smoke Gets in your eyes etc. A great pick for Female Friday would be Timi Yuro's "Hurt". She had one of the greatest voices, so powerful.

You guys are on fire this year. So many great songs!

You guys would LOVE the movie "American Grafitti"! Set in 1962, directed by George Lucas before Star Wars. The movie soundtrack was triple platinum & went to #15 on the charts. It also spawned the Happy Days TV show.

I love 50s music! I was probably first introduced to this song when I first watched Dirty Dancing! A few of my faves from the 50s: Teenager In Love by Dion and the Belmonts, Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly, Venus by Frankie Avalon and Dream Lover by Bobby Darin

Guys, this Masterpiece was voted the best song of the 20th Century by the CBS 101.1FM audience during a broadcast celebrating the greatest hits of all time. When this song played, the "two step" you danced with your sweetheart was a moment to never forget for the rest of your life. If you weren't on the dance floor, whatever you were doing when this song started to play, you stopped everything and focused completely on the song until it was over. It was like our musical National Anthem. Btw, finishing a close 2nd in the voting was The Penquins singing 'Earth Angel'. Give it a listen.

This is a true doowop song, said to be the greatest doowop song ever. Fantastic voice, I loved the beautiful song back then , still do. A perfect slow dance song. There's many great doowop songs Earth Angel by Penguins, There's a Moon out Tonight by Capris, Since I don't Have You by Skylines, Teardrops & Long Lonely Nights by Lee Andrews and more. Kudos to all making this song great and beautiful.

This 1956 ( "IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT") classic from the Five Satins .the group was formed 1954 out of New Haven,CT. The group is in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. Fred Parris( a member of the group)wrote this song.

The Satins recorded this in the basement of a school. I never found out why - maybe they couldn't afford studio time. No matter, it's one of the best loved doo wop songs ever.

Love these reactions to older music. One I love is the Mills Brothers doing 'Til Then. The group was around starting in the 1930's, and had many number one hits. Their harmony is fantastic. Their 1958 version of "Til Then, done as guests on, I think, the old Pat Boone show in 1958 is my favorite. They're older then, but still sing up a storm.

"I only have eyes for you" by The Flamingos is my favourite song within this genre.

They are showing scenes from the smash hit movie American Graffiti. The soundtrack is incredible, the best of the 50’s.

Amber you NEED to watch Dirty Dancing - or get ahold of the soundtrack. This song is on it - plus more like it. All of the music is fantastic. On the completely opposite end of the spectrum - I would like to put in a request for Josh Turner. Young country arist - but has the BEST country voice. I promise you'll love him. Why Don't We Just Dance, Long Black Train, and Would You Go with Me are three of his BEST songs.

This song was also in the movie Dirty Dancing. Great movie and great soundtrack 🎼 🎵

Please react to -1.The Clovers: Love Potion Number 9 -2.The Coasters: Poison Ivy -3.? and the Mysterians: 96 Tears -4.Jody Reynolds: Endless Sleep -5.Ray Peterson: Tell Laura I Love Her -Thanks!!!

Such a great 50s tune. The times were so much simpler.

The drive-ins used to have a pole with a speaker on it that you would hang inside your car from the window, because not everyone had radios in their cars back then…. And there wasn’t the ability of the drive in to broadcast it onto your radio

Really nothing better. So smooth. Again, see the music we grew up with. Lovely. Singing along with the background guys here. Doo wop.

LAST KISS by The Cavaliers , Anything by The Platters, Runaround Sue by Dion, are all FIRE!!!

Awesome Freddie Parris and the Satins

For Female Friday: At Last, by Etta James.

This is a good slow dance tune, but for that frenetic Doo-Wap energy, the best examples for first time reaction: 1) *At The Hop* by *Danny & The Juniors* 2) *Little Darlin'* by *The Diamonds* 3) *Book Of Love* by *The Monotones* 4) *Run Around Sue* by *Dion*

Growing up with this song and never gets old! Classic.. its nice to see how this generations appreciate our music!

Groups like the Satins, the Platters, the Chantells, Flamingos, and Temptations, all of whom were guests on American Bandstand back in the '50s, brought young people, both black and white together. There was still more to do in regard to racial equality but the music became that of that whole generation. We loved it!

Picture a high school gym, dark, with a mirror ball. Check out Silhouettes by the Rays or Those Oldies But Goodies by Little Ceaser.

A fitting tribute FRED PARIS lead singer with the Five Satins passed away 13/01/2022 the day before you have highlighted his fine voice RIP and Thank you for bringing him to a new generation of music lovers

This was the #1 song on oldies stations in the 70s and beyond!!! Those are 'fins" in the back of the cars of the 50s.

I love the music from this time. If u like this watch a movie called” American Grafitti”. I used to listen to this music in the 70’’s as a kid.❤️

You need to react to the movie”American Graffiti”. Nothing but great songs.

Hey it's the 79 year old grandma, this is my favorite song of all time, I remember at about the age of 14 or so sitting with my best friend on her porch singing this, such a great song. By the way on this video the pictures you are seeing are from the movie American Graffiti, and absolutely awesome movie, that truly depicts the times and life of us back in those days. With some very famous stars in there very early roles in movies, I know you would love it,.

Oh my gosh this song is awesome

Possibly the greatest of the Doo-Wop songs. Great choice. You have probably heard that another great singer of the early 1960s Ronnie Spector passed away yesterday. You might find the time to react to The Ronettes and "Be My Baby." Iconic voice and song. Cheers.

One of the best Doo-Wop songs of all time. Blue Moon by the Marcels

This is way back. So many great R&B Soul musicians in the 50's and 60's

The Andrews Sisters were a generation ahead of rock and rollers and when Doo Wop hit the 50's, it became a very popular style in slow music. Dances were hugely popular and these were the songs we would "slow dance" to. Great Doo Wop groups from that era: The Moonglows with "Sincerely", The Cadillacs with "Gloria" or "Zoom" (this one has a fast beat), and The Diamonds with so many major hits like "Little Darlin" and "The Stroll". The Stroll actually became one of those popular dances in the 50's. It was a fun, double line dance that you should watch. The song is great and the dance was some of the best times!

One of the best slow doo-wop songs ever. Another one you should check out is "Tears on my Pillow" by Little Anthony & The Imperials

Speaking of Five, you should react to The Five Stairsteps singing "OO-oh Child"!

Boyz II Men did a great a cappella version of this in 1993. Did it a full stop lower so it's got quite a different vibe. Worth checking out as it really shows off how well they harmonise. You won't believe that the sound in that version is only their voices. I actually think it's better than the original.

Oldie but Goodie

A CLASSIC from 1956...one of THE best "Doo Wop" songs of all time!

This is a beautiful song back when people could sing and harmonize together. A really good song from the 60’s is by Wayne Fontana and the mindbendars the game of love I think you would love it

I love that you’re going back to the 50’s I lost my dad in November and these all bring back memories of him. He and I would play pool for hours listening to these songs.

I used to sit on the couch with my brothers and listen to my dad in the early 80s play his older records! I got my love of music from him one of The best things , you could ever get !

My vote for the best do-wop song of the 5o's is by the Flamingos, I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU. A beautifully romantic song to dance with the love of your life. Whatever age you find each other.

One of the great songs from the 50s. All the scenes shown in this video were from the movie 'American Graffiti' (which you should react to on your upcoming movie reactions video). Other songs from that movie soundtrack & that era that you should check out : 1. "Rock Around the Clock" Bill Haley & His Comets 1954 2. "16 Candles" The Crests 1958 3. "Runaway" Del Shannon 1961 4.

Love this. Try "Sixteen Candles" by The Crests.

Billy Joel did a fantastic tribute to doo-wop with his Innocent Man album. One of my favorite albums of all time. Whole album is great but some standout to cover are: Innocent Man, Longest Time, This Night, and Keeping the Faith. I think you already did Uptown Girl.

American graffiti soundtrack 😋👍 One great movie 🤠✌👍💛💙💚

Each of you was tuned in to a different layer, a different beat. It was cool to watch, and cool to catch both of your waves.

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER!!! This IS the one you slow danced to with your sweetheart... What memories... Keep on keepin' on. BCNU...

That layered background that you mentioned way back there was called a "wall of sound". It was invented early on to add flesh to the bones of a solo singer or singers. Gave songs a fullness. I came of age during this era. Used to listen to radio on a primitive crystal set "radio" and an earphone. Was a great way to go to sleep. The Earth Angel song broke through with the never before form of singing style and music. Was electrifying back then while escaping from the waltzes and fox trots and crooning left over from the 1940s and early 1950s. This new stuff was OUR music, our generation, energetic, dynamically romantic, told stories in song, matched our teenage energy and dreams for our future.

I was 15 when I first heard this song on the radio..I'm 77 now..we all loved this song back then

All talent, no computer assistance

Now you're ready for the Ronnie Milsap song LOST IN THE 50's. He sang about his younger years with his wife and samples this song, more beautifully than the original. Some may disagree, but it's so much more clearly recorded, no one can argue that.

I have good memories of my papa dancing with me to this song when I was very little. He would pick me up. ❤

Omg. The Flamingos another great 50's doo wop.this song , (I only have eyes for you,) widely considered one of thee best love songs written and sung. Amber you will be slow dancing with Rob to this one.

AMBER, as someone else stated in the comments these photos that they showed during this video or scenes from the movie American Graffiti!! The movie starred a very young Ron Howard of Happy Days Fame and also a very young Harrison Ford!! It's a very good film which I believe Amber would enjoy very much!!!

Mel's Drive In with the music playing and dancing in the parking lot, I grew up in the 50s and 60s and the music was fantastic

First song I ever sang lead to with a group in 1958,when I was 15,probably the greatest doo-wop song ever written by Freddie Paris and the 5 satins!

Thank you so much for keeping the music alive! This is my parent's music and i heard it almost every day growing up!

When I was young, they would have a top 300 golden oldies night countdown starting with number 300 and all the way to #1. This song came in at #1 every year. We had stamina back then staying up listening to every song.

So glad to hear that again. Something about the harmony made me think of the Beatles. Good Harmony. I could almost hear the Beatles doing a cover of this tune. True classic.

One thing I always think about when listening to oldies is what it would have been like to hear this kind of music when it was brand new.

Tim Foust from Home Free just released a doo-wop album of all these classics. The only difference ~~~ he sings every part himself. It is mind blowing. The album name is “PIECES OF ME”

I love this song. I actually love the Sha Na Na cover even more - Johnny Contardo, voice of an angel.

One of the all time great doo wop, lights down low, basement party songs. Sadly the lead singer, Fred Parris, passed away at 85 yesterday.

Fun fact - this was not recorded in a studio. It was done in a church basement in New Haven, Connecticut. The man who wrote the song said he thought it was blessed because of that. :)
