My mother wouldn't let me go to the "Patio en la Luz". She said there was too many pachucos! Not to worry, I would tell her we were going to a dance at Saint Frances and go instead to the Patio because I just loved the Royal Jesters and all those cute pachucos. LOL By the way, the Royal Jesters did play at St. Francis on Friday nights so I got to enjoy them. They could play any song and it always sounded like the original.
This song gets allot of playing time here in western Pennsylvania both on the radio and at Oldie's dances. A member of the Laura Lamar High School class of 1964 located in Homer City, PA.
I was only 5 yrs old and I used to fall asleep with this song cause my sisters (6) in all played it for me, after several years later in my teenage year I got hooked to the Royal Jesters. I read their story. Rest in Peace Mr. Lawson 😇, left a legacy with us.
I can honestly say even I heard this song on the radio in 62. I was only 5, and in the Chicago area, but it was played there. I'm sure my oldest brother heard it in San Antonio, he did his basic training at Fort Sam in 1966. Of course now I actually Live in San Antonio. Been here 19 years now and have found out over those years this has been a very 'musical' and celebrity oriented city! :)
Brings back precious memories of when I used to go to school in San Marcos tx and on weekends I would go to clubs in San Antonio tx to go dancing in the 1960s
I used to converse with Henry,Louie and Oscar. One time I went all the way to Austin to have louie sign my "We Go Together Album" I had all three of them sign it. I was offered $800.00 for it some twenty years ago and I asked him if he was crazy. You see it is about the music and the times these guys gave to us. Not any amount of money that someone can offer. I have albums and 45's of these guys and other local groups. When I die they go to my kids and grandchildren. U cant buy these memories.
THESE SONG IS PURE GOLDEN OLDIE I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID SEEING MY BROTHERS GOING TO THE DANCE AT ST FRANCIS ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF SAN ANTONIO IN THE 60S
Sorry to hear about Oscar passing away. Rest in peace my brother an thank you for your music. I really enjoyed it. God bless you an my sincere condolence to the Lawson family.
Man i was just a kid when this song came out but i still remember this great song i remember my older brothers going to the dance at St Francis in the southside of san antonio texas GREAT GREAT SONG
i ve heard this songs but not by the jesters Imoved out of San Anto around 64 or 65 by that time sunny and the sunliners were going strong, joe bravo, and little joe y la familia rudy and the reno bops were on fire but so was james brown. man its never to late I can still listen to the jesters its never to late.
I remember the patio on commerce, i use to be one of the go-go dancers for the royal jesters, with my friend mary-lou, boy if time could only change,our white boots remember those boots ? Great music to dance too, i do sure miss those times.
Here in S.A. tx in the late 60s we used to go to a place called patio andaluz n oh boy it was the greatest all our friends fr different schools would b there.
Amazing to find this. I bought Pittsburgh's Greatest hits back in 1966, this tune was on there. It was a double album. Don't know where it is today. Thanks for the great memories.
Went to a New Years Eve dance last night and I had the pleasure of listening to Louie Escalante sing this song live. He was a guest performer along with Jimmy Edward. I had never seen the Royal Jesters live so it was a treat watching Louie singing it live. He's family was there and they video taped it. Maybe they'll post it on YuTube.
Tk you (Vonwitzy), to this day I love the Royal Jesters, their songs are a touch to the heart. My 4 brothers are gone now but I still have my 6 sisters. Memories never fade, neither does Love.
This reminds me of the sock hops at St. Ann's gym...all of us guys from Holy Cross would hook up with the chicks from Providence...those were the days!
The best group of all the local bands.The Royal Jesters. You had Henry and the Kasuels, Little Jr.Jesse and the Teardrops, The Sunglows, Sunny and the Sunliners, Joe Bravo.
First heard this when I was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston ...San Antonio Texas...Dimas Garcia on lead? Around this time The Commands also came out with No Time For You
@@RoboLobster3000what a sad thing to say. Sampling is a great way to keep songs like this alive through time. Having been brought here by another song is great as well.

@mezskr4 The dance was held at Pueblo Dance Hall in San Antonio. It is located on a street behind Ingram Mall. It's a very nice place. It was basically an older crowd. On Christmas day they had Ruben Ramos. Louie and Jimmy Edward were backed up by Henry Lee and the Tribute band. Some of the musicians were guys that played with Sunny, Latin Breed and so forth. They have dances on some Fridays.
One of my favorite ballads. Not positive,but I think it's from 1962.The song was big in Pittsburgh,and is still played on the few oldies shows left in that area.
I've heard many many versions of this song , and although this is not the very best it has an easy listening sounbd with not bad harmony. Gets a 6 in my book with 10 being the best.
The battle was between Sunny and the Jesters, Who was best? The bigger the crowd the more girls. If one of them had the Commands, that was the dance to go to.
magoo7635 I used to be short Order Cook there you might Remember me I went to Burbank ,Lupita (LuLu) was my Girl friend, Mr.Flowers. was Teacher in woodshop President JFK was shot news came school PA, Walter Cronkite anoust it. If any you guys remember say Hello ROBERT and Peggy Lugo are my cousin, we volunteer and went to St.James during Father Joe era,
I remember red headed Gladys she was a baseball fanatic after the dances we used to stop there belonging to the Slicks Car Club majority of the guys were from Burbank I went to La Salle.
Picture it, The Lebanon Lodge, Pittsburgh, the year is 1967-68. Oh what memories. . . sigh
One of Pittsburgh Golden memories.
Ah to be 16 again. One of my favorite songs. Still takes me back to the most wonderful times.

THE ROYAL JESTERS ARE A GROOVY & OUTTA SIGHT CHICANO OLDIEZ BAND FROM THE 60'Z & 70'Z PUTTING IT DOWN BIG TIME
I wish I could go back in time my husband and I loved these good old songs! It reminds me of him. Passed away August 7, 2012

One of the greatest songs ever written! I get a knot in my stomach every time I hear this song.

I still get a knot too...still listening? How's my Aunt Jeannie?
@@paulburek7530I heard that she left the zoo during Covid.

If you're lucky enough to have someone who loves you
Then be glad that you've got someone who loves you
'Cause the lips that were warm can grow cool
Listen to the wisdom of a fool
When you take her poor heart and you do something to it
And you think to yourself, oh, why did I do it
You may find that the world can be cruel
Listen to the wisdom of a fool
Now I had a love just the same as you
And I was a fool not to see
But you still have time to say you love her
I'm afraid it's too late for me
So go back to the arms that you know will be waiting
Hold her close in your arms and be glad that she's waiting
You'll be happy, believe me, if you'll
Only listen to the wisdom of a fool
