This song has a special place in my life. When I was a kid this song came out and at that time I had a dog, a boxer. His name was Duke and every time this song came on the radio or Gene was on TV singing it my dog would run around the house trying to find who was calling him.

My parents used to listen to the "oldies but goodies" and I didn't HATE it, but I definitely didn't appreciate it like I do now. I've lived through enough garbage pop music now to really see what we are missing out on. A) This music is pure talent, no tech tricks involved. If they had to perform a surprise concert, they could without skipping a beat. Nobody would have to scramble for laptops and tablets. And B) they had the good sense to hit you within seconds of the start, and finish like 2 minutes later. None of these songs ever wear out their welcome.

Gene Chandler isn't his real name. He was part of the group "The Earls". When they auditioned for a record company. They presented this song as a B side to their first 45. The record company knew it was a hit just as the other song was. They didn't want them to release 2 hit songs at the same time. So they released "Duke of Earl" as a separate solo act. Just to get them both out there right away. The "Earls" had some damn good Doo Wop hits.

As a little kid, this was a favorite. We would get together with two other families after church and all of us kids would do skits for the parents. We would dress up and act out the songs or lip sync them. We would do Carol Burnett skits too. We did a skit for 'Leader of the Pack'. My little brother had a leather jacket and he rode his tricycle and we used our Barbie van to run into him so he could crash his bike like in the song. No iphones, no video games, no tablets, just pure, good old imagination.

I'm about to hit 60 in March so this came out before I was born but, music has always been part of my family life and as usual all people relate to the songs they hear at certain time of their lives. When I was about 10 and beyond I loved to listen to everything from the 50's to my time period. Then later in the 90's when I was in my 30's I worked midnight shift with a man in his 50's and out of respect of my elders we listened to "HIS" music which was oldies. I love that phrase because now oldies is the stuff from the 90's or later. He was totally shocked that I could "Name That Tune" in 3 notes or less every time, lol. I love all the songs you have listened to and figure you will eventually run out unless you really go back in time and glad you did this one. Even though your channel is called Rob Squad I call it Amber and Robs Squad because Ambers my girl. Okay Rob, you're my boy too as we love you both in our home.

I raised my son (now age 29) to know music from my generation and years before (including big band). We have to teach our children!! Expose them to ALL genres and styles! I love when I hear him grooving to the music of my generation and my parents’ generation!

It was a musically wonderful time to grow up. It's really nice to see how you both appreciate the "oldies" of my time.

This is one of my favorite songs from that era, and it came out the year I was born. You simply must watch the film "American Graffiti," which features an entire soundtrack of hits from the late '50s and early '60s. And it features several actors who became big stars later in their careers.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I graduated HS in’66 so, Ahhhhhhhh! The music then was just that, music, pure and unmanufactured.

Have been listening to this great song 60 yrs. Love it so much I can hear it every day. He made a comeback in 1970 with Groovy Situation, very good and groovy 😀 in my opinion

"Get A Job" by the Silhouettes hit the Number 1 spot on the Billboard pop and the R&B singles charts in February of 1958. Do-woppish fun that showed up in movies like "Stand By Me", "Trading Places", "American Graffiti", and "Good Morning, Vietnam". You need to hear all of it someday....

My dad was born in 1950 he danced in elementary to this song and Little Eva with the Loca Motion. He told me so many stories when he grew up in Connecticut.

I was born in 1964. And I remember hearing these songs on the radio. When I was really young and it lasted a lot longer than that? And yeah, if I had been born 10 years earlier. I would have gave them all a rest for their money. Cause I'm a hell of 50s and 60s at musician. But I always have fun listening to these. And it's wonderful to see you guys reacting these, thank you.
