Here is the number one rule with street performers; If they're good enough to hold you attention for several minutes, have enough class to donate a couple of bucks!
I still don't understand why these men aren't famous. I seen them in front of the Met a couple weeks ago. Everyone loves them and they are the definition of real soul. They have such a great sound and really got it together.
Amazing voices, ashamed so many people simply walked by and tried to ignore them. People need to take a moment and enjoy the beautiful art that is around them, and support their local performers.
I love the first part where the lead singer gets up checks if a train is coming and then takes a little walk around the pillar while smacking such high notes with his voice. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
This is what makes me miss NYC. Born and raised in the Bronx taking trains to work and school and I've always loved bumping into talent like this. I used to miss trains just to listen.
During Vietnam on the fantail of the ship most every night a group would Du-wap the night away "in the still of the night" but those were militant times for black folks and sometime they were offended by a young white boy hanging around to listen. I used to have to hide but there beautiful voices made a hot night on the South China go by a hell lot better.
Mike Gulbranson Mr., you could easily turn your story into a short novella. Combat missions by day, doo wop by night, and maybe a viet namsese love interest mixed in. Or maybe a Steven king style strange and mysterious happenings on the ship.
This song was a favorite of my late husband's and mine, too. Listening to this makes me happy with memories of more than 60 years together. Lots of talent here, better than in many theaters!
Marcus Cooper this was filmed over 10 years ago. Song was released in 1956. She was likely born mid to late 40s which would put her 8- 12 when this song came out. Stay positive;)
Man, everyday I think about the oldie days. Like what was it like ? The people,government,crime? Man I sure do wish I was their. Rocking it out and having a great time. They'll never be forgotten.
This is the music from MY generation. It will always last. I worked in the city and saw alot of street corner groups and always would make a contibution. They gave their time and talents and a little in return always helped. And it made the time pass. How I miss those days.
I wanna move to NY just so I can dwell in the subways, because thats what would happen, I would never make it to work, my time would be spent in the subway listening to all the wonderful talent that is there and i would never leave...I wish I had a subway here in St Louis, hell they do not even allow any kind of street buskers or anything...How people just walk on by not even stoppong for a damn milisecond and even acknowledge the awesome talent is beyond me, ive seen it a thousand times here on youtube and it just amazes me...i'd be droppin money and hangin out soakin in some wonderful, raw and beautiful talent, every day. every. damn. day.
love how the lil white lady in the blue coat tuned in immediately and enjoyed the show.. seems like it took her right 2 a beautiful time in life.. love it
This ladies and gentlemen is real music. This ladies and gentlemen is real talent. THANK YOU. GENTLEMAN, for the memories. in the still of the night, when they're needed to soothe the soul
These five young men can blow, what a good way to hustle using what The Good GOD gave you. I wish I had the talent. I would ask if I could join the group. But I don't have the voice I have two ears so i can enjoy twice as much.
oNLY IN NYC will you go to catch a train and think you are seeing the original line up of the 5 Satins live in concert. Do the damn thang, Accapella Soul
they came in my train once dun remember if 6 or 5, but they were amazing! was kind of hilarious because one with trench coat was arguing with another 1 pretty intensely but then out of nowhere one of the other ones (who was not involved in argument) started singing there argument ended as if it was not happening so damn fast and they both broke out singing, was pretty funny and great entertainment, was tired on my way home from work and they brightened up my day god bless i hope u get signed!
I’ve never been to NY, but if ever I do and see something like this sounding soooooo good. I would donate to their music. I love old school music. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 this is F I R E!!
real talent , real harmony , I love it . just like back in the day ,my dad and his 6 brothers singing acapella .Yes lets bring back the 50's and 60's .
He got the bench like he knew he was gonna kill it and he really really did 💯 meanwhile blonde to the right of the screen got hit with the nostalgia vapors
Wish i could have witnessed this happening.... one of those never forget moments that rarely happen if your lifetime. Brilliant, thanks for posting this video.
I am sitting here and browsing a capella and suddenly I stumble accross these lovely fellows. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY NIGHT by listening to you How do I get a copy of your Cd `
I'm the white lady in the back with the blonde hair who ain't budged since buddy started with the vocals, he big showing out and with good reason! Go ahead on then. This is one of my all time favorite songs ever. I would love to hear you guys do "tears on my pillow" with little anthony
+467sprite yeah, and they aren't dressed to impress.. probably aren't high society enough. The originals weren't either and look how far they went!!! Good luck guys. Go all the way. Don't stop till you get there.
I'm a grown ass man.... Having a drink a 1230 am. Combined my drink with this a'Capella, And all I can think about is the wife I have sleeping next to me. I'll be damned if I didn't feel a few tears under my eyes.
Shesh, this made me cry.......shesh!!!! I would buy a CD, or donate something. Haven't heard a beautiful and soul-singing voices in a long time. Thanx heaps for uploading this vid., really appreciated!!!!!
Beautiful! ,A long lost art, now we have electronic tracks that repeat and could do anything, but there is one thing these new electric machines can make and that is what these men have, and that is SOUL!!!!
![Best Drummer Ever [HD]](/img/n.gif)
There's a lot more talent on street corners than in recording studios today.
keeturbo Right! Genial!
WOWWWWWW!
And that's so true. Kinda sad, if you think.
This comment was 4 years old but I still do agree. :(
I agree 100%. If you disagree you’re obviously from the new era of auto tune and non singers with dancing trends !!!
Here is the number one rule with street performers; If they're good enough to hold you attention for several minutes, have enough class to donate a couple of bucks!
Amen! And especially if you want to film them!
YES!! Id be ashamed of myself to just walk away.
that's as real as it gets
I agree
so you're telling me I can't just enjoy it? And a lot of people who take the subway struggle to make those couple of bucks
I still don't understand why these men aren't famous. I seen them in front of the Met a couple weeks ago. Everyone loves them and they are the definition of real soul. They have such a great sound and really got it together.
Their male organs are all too small to win the affection of women in the audience. Sorry, but male genital size truly matters to most women!
That's that old school voice right there, that's what what I'm talking about...
+ctapplin original is from the Five Satins....
the old doowop lead voice right there love it
Closest guy all the way on the left died a few years back in the hospital 😔 RIP brother. Been following these guys for about 7 years now
Wow i was about to comment and say I haven’t seen these guys perform for a while smh RIP NYC legends
@@jonatanmejia7825 they changed the name to cover story doo wop
Wow thats sad
Amazing voices, ashamed so many people simply walked by and tried to ignore them. People need to take a moment and enjoy the beautiful art that is around them, and support their local performers.
Lots of dicks roaming around that don't like anything
Matthew Hatch you said it
Although I enjoyed it, not everyone has the same tastes.
Matthew Hatch
busy schedule most likely.
if I saw them I would try to sit and watch but if I was in the subway I would most likely be in a rush.
its the subway, ppl are on their way places, you know, work and such.. the performers know, its street corner busking at its finest
My favorite song from the 50's and the first record I ever bought.
Me too- caught the do-wop bug and haven't let go!
Been watching this for 10'years
This is beautiful. They did a great job. That lead singer is a freaking STAR!
I love the first part where the lead singer gets up checks if a train is coming and then takes a little walk around the pillar while smacking such high notes with his voice. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
This is incredible. This should be recognized and not the crap that's out today in music.
These guys need to get hired, someone please.....pure talent
This is what makes me miss NYC. Born and raised in the Bronx taking trains to work and school and I've always loved bumping into talent like this. I used to miss trains just to listen.
Why are not these amazing singers recording/touring as we speak? Somebody give these guys a chance. They deserve stardom!!
Well done guys
During Vietnam on the fantail of the ship most every night a group would Du-wap the night away "in the still of the night" but those were militant times for black folks and sometime they were offended by a young white boy hanging around to listen. I used to have to hide but there beautiful voices made a hot night on the South China go by a hell lot better.
That's beautiful.
Mike Gulbranson awwwwww
Thanks to the five Satins
Mike Gulbranson Mr., you could easily turn your story into a short novella. Combat missions by day, doo wop by night, and maybe a viet namsese love interest mixed in. Or maybe a Steven king style strange and mysterious happenings on the ship.
This song was a favorite of my late husband's and mine, too. Listening to this makes me happy with memories of more than 60 years together. Lots of talent here, better than in many theaters!
put so much joy on the lady's face on the far right....she was smiling throughout the whole song. really warms my heart
GREAT VOICES AND HARMONY , TRUE 50'S SOUND, NO AUTOTUNE LIKE A LOT OF PROFESSIONAL SINGERS USE NOW DAYS . TWO THUMBS UP !!
keep your eyes on lady in back with silver purse mid 50s earlys 60s...brought her back to her prime
♥
Dude! I noticed her too! She looks completely entranced!
God bless these guys.... I hope the memories were good for the lady in black... God bless her too!
Considering these songs are from the 50s..... That would make her at least 70plus?
Marcus Cooper this was filmed over 10 years ago. Song was released in 1956. She was likely born mid to late 40s which would put her 8- 12 when this song came out. Stay positive;)
OMG THESE GUYS ARE GREAT !!!!! SOMEBODY GET THESE GUYS SIGNED UP WITH A RECORD CONTRACT ALREADY !!! ALL I CAN SAY IS "WOW" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you fr on that
Shuggie TheFaithful AMEN SHUGG !!
Tru tru
Man, everyday I think about the oldie days. Like what was it like ? The people,government,crime? Man I sure do wish I was their. Rocking it out and having a great time. They'll never be forgotten.
+David Fairbairn I see you everywhere
I'm everywhere :)
The oldie days :3
havent heard this song in a minute & im pleased to be reminded
I truly miss this about NYC subways. Best acoustics in the subways.
Fred Parris would have been so proud! (the lead singer from The 5 Satins)
this was one of their songs.👍
This is the music from MY generation. It will always last. I worked in the city and saw alot of street corner groups and always would make a contibution. They gave their time and talents and a little in return always helped. And it made the time pass. How I miss those days.
I was born about 50 years too late. Love this music. Beats modern music hands down.
I am glad that with today's technology we get great videos like this. This is talent.
I wanna move to NY just so I can dwell in the subways, because thats what would happen, I would never make it to work, my time would be spent in the subway listening to all the wonderful talent that is there and i would never leave...I wish I had a subway here in St Louis, hell they do not even allow any kind of street buskers or anything...How people just walk on by not even stoppong for a damn milisecond and even acknowledge the awesome talent is beyond me, ive seen it a thousand times here on youtube and it just amazes me...i'd be droppin money and hangin out soakin in some wonderful, raw and beautiful talent, every day. every. damn. day.
Without music, amazing! Rappers here's pure singing, not shouting or screaming!
Beautiful rendition 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
love how the lil white lady in the blue coat tuned in immediately and enjoyed the show.. seems like it took her right 2 a beautiful time in life.. love it
The guys are BEASTS!!! on those vocals.

OMG his voice is soooo Classic. This touched me.
Amazing?
This ladies and gentlemen is real music. This ladies and gentlemen is real talent.
THANK YOU. GENTLEMAN, for the memories. in the still of the night, when they're needed to soothe the soul
Still watching this on 2024
Why have I never seen this in Sweden, where I live.. This would fulfill my day if I saw something like this, This is entertainment on a high level.
It's just amazing how music brings us all together.
These five young men can blow, what a good way to hustle using what The Good GOD gave you. I wish I had the talent. I would ask if I could join the group. But I don't have the voice I have two ears so i can enjoy twice as much.
sounding mighty fine to me, awesome voices, well done guys
Well boys, you outdid yourselves on this one. Absolutely beautiful, Absolutely GOLDEN
oNLY IN NYC will you go to catch a train and think you are seeing the original line up of the 5 Satins live in concert. Do the damn thang, Accapella Soul
This music is way before my time. I was born in 1983. I like it a lot.
they came in my train once dun remember if 6 or 5, but they were amazing! was kind of hilarious because one with trench coat was arguing with another 1 pretty intensely but then out of nowhere one of the other ones (who was not involved in argument) started singing there argument ended as if it was not happening so damn fast and they both broke out singing, was pretty funny and great entertainment, was tired on my way home from work and they brightened up my day god bless i hope u get signed!
Gorgeous!!! This is true talent and the best music ever, their voices in harmony. ❤️❤️
This is what I love about New York, acapella groups
I’ve never been to NY, but if ever I do and see something like this sounding soooooo good. I would donate to their music. I love old school music. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 this is F I R E!!
I can't STOP watching this video ! You guys are HIGHLY TALENTED please SING gospel music next :)
That ending! These guys make me love songs that I didn't even like before.
I'm 16 years old and even I am intelligent enough to know that this music should be revived and modern music abandoned
real talent , real harmony , I love it . just like back in the day ,my dad and his 6 brothers singing acapella .Yes lets bring back the 50's and 60's .
Only in America would people just keep walking past talent like this.
Robert Sanders so true!😑
OH MY GOD! I DID KNOW THEM UNTILL A FEW DAYS AGO! FANTASTIC. I CRY! I LOVE YOU.
God Bless NYC and all that live there.
They sound so good, this is the music I grew up with, Gentlemen keep up the great work, I'm so loving this😊❤❤
Love this. I would've bought almost all of those CD's.
Prawdziwi Artyści , super wykonanie ,klasa panowie klasa pozdrawiam

He got the bench like he knew he was gonna kill it and he really really did 💯 meanwhile blonde to the right of the screen got hit with the nostalgia vapors
Wish i could have witnessed this happening.... one of those never forget moments that rarely happen if your lifetime. Brilliant, thanks for posting this video.
I would give them $100 and it still wouldn't be enough gratitude
I do agree with you, my future
Julianne Hannes
Thats nice! And you know. You look amazing :)
@ Pedro Sepulveda - what an ugly comment, shame on you!
@ Pedro Sepulveda What's wrong with you dude?
Love this song and the singing here is excellent.
it's a shame that talent like this is hidden away in some subway
+Dead City Rebel "Hidden"? Do you know the sheer volume of people passing through the subway? LOL!!
Dead City Rebel Exactly!!!
@odeerg So true. I'd like to quote that sometime.
PREACH.
Thats the sound of our street corners, it speaks to the middle class American experience, and history 🇺🇸
I always run into these awesome cats!!! Pure Talent!!!!!
ladies and gentlemen . . . this is the definition of music.
MAN!!! BRING BACK THE OLD SKOOL!! This Is What you Call REAL Music
Oh man I miss real music so much why I deserved to born in this era :(
