Debbie, I’m now a 22 year old Gen Zer and this type of music is all I’ve loved to listen to for a decade now. I never grew up hearing it but fell into it as a history guy. Your dad and uncle have been played in my car and on my player more times than I can count. Thank you for being able to pass down a great legacy!
Originally called The Mellotones, they were a quintet formed in 1956 in Mount Vernon, New York . A wonderful American doo-wop group, this song resignates the beautiful tones of the era, the harmonies and the orchestral backing. I'm with you, Harri. From the first note of the song I can feel the emotions in my chest that this era brings forth. Such a time of musical perfection. ❤ Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Romelo. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi again Harri! I was just listening to one of my online radio stations, which are community and college radio stations. They have some amazing shows of little heard music, as they bring in their own 45s, full albums, etc. so this is pretty rare stuff. A lot of these shows have ORIGINAL rock and roll, blues, rhythm and blues, and the real foundations to our current music, and PRE appropriation. I think you'd get a kick out of it while puttering around the house or hanging with the family. And one of the good things is that they list a playlist so you can find it, and one of the stations archives the shows for some amount of time to be played fully. Anyway, I highly recommend a couple shows from WOMR of Provincetown, Massachusetts and WUSB from Stonybrook, Long Island, NY. If you're interested, I'll link them somehow with the specific shows. Just since you were talking about how much you were enjoying the doo wop, I thought I'd tell you about this. Take care!
Holy cow! I remember a lot of old songs but I haven't heard this one since I was a little kid! Probably heard at summer camp at the counselors' dance. 😊
You want another like this? "Over The Mountain" Johnny & Joe ua-cam.com/video/7TZIB6rSoJc/v-deo.html a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l song live version! And for something bouncy to dance to "Church Bells May Ring" ua-cam.com/video/cHCINuGmBdg/v-deo.html. There was no auto-tune, no messing around to make singers sound good. Those sining artists HAD to have talent. I grew up w-all of these & it's just too bad young people don't know the joy & fun these songs had.
I would love to see you react to current a cappella group Home Free cover of Keith Urban’s “Blue Ain’t Your Color” in a R&B doo wop style. It’s so smooth. Home Free’s bassist Tim Foust even has a whole solo album of doo wop songs.
Somehow I thought this was going to be the Tonight Tonight of the Smashing Pumpkins. Amazing song, amazing video, but should not be heard for the first time with the video because it is DISTRACTING! But very happy to hear The Mello Kings and some gorgeous doo wop!
Heya harri thanks for all that you do, and yes there are very few footage of live groups while in their prime performing. But luckily there's decent footage of the mellow kings doing tonight tonight. If you harri or any of you guys are interested here you go ua-cam.com/video/18ne0geuiQY/v-deo.html
This was one of the ones i suggested 2 mos. ago -- you might also consider the 2nd suggestion "Church Bells May Ring" ua-cam.com/video/cHCINuGmBdg/v-deo.html -- a great bouncy dance song.
Jerry is my Dad and Bobby is my Uncle. Thank you for the kind words and for posting this reaction. Wish they were here to see this ❤❤
Debbie this music is timeless and will bring joy for years to come.

So beautiful and melodious song. It touches me deeply.

Thank you for the much needed closer look on the golden groups of the past
@@romellobnkrollThanks for your great suggestions. ✌️👍🎶🇨🇦
These guys were 1 of 3 mello tone groups. This was the group that came from a Broadway show 1 hit wonder mellotone aka mello kings
When music was real music bring back doo wop😂❤
So glad I was born in time to be old enough to enjoy and appreciate 50's music, esp. doo-wop and all the Sun Records boys.
I love DOO WOP BECAUSE THEIR HARMONY IS GREAT¡
They formed their group the year I was born. My older siblings had this music playing as I was growing up. It is part of my precious memories.
I met them at the state theater in hartford conn. And i took him to get his hair done on windsor street. Henry hawk hall of the5 bell aiers.
Very cool Mr Hall, Me and my father used to listen to "house of love" by you and the 5 bell aiers everyday 247
Thanks for keeping the past alive, Hari!
There is truly nothing better than some late night Doo-Wop. 🎶♥️
Doo Wop makes the soul smile
THANK YOU HARRI Beachcombers - What Good Is Dreaming - Rare Doo Wop Ballad
One of the greatest doowop songs to hit the charts
So beautiful. There's a Moon out Tonight by the Capris is another great doowop song.
Man, did we ever slow dance to this back then.......
I played this 45 so many times I may have worn out the grooves. Thank you.
You truly know how to bring it back! (Along with those memories)
Keep em coming!Their not called oldies but goodies for nothing!
I knew by the title that this was one of yours Romello. You pick such great doo wop songs and thanks to Harri too.
Thanks once again Cynthia. Looking forward to your next picks
You need to do the ultimate oldies song -- "Those Oldies But Goodies" by Little Caesar & the Romans. Marvelous song.
Romelo - Yes! Bring on more doo-wop. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I have a few coming in the pipeline. Harri, your review was superb as well.
