Wow! This is my Dad, William Franklin Horton, the man in the middle in the black suit, white shirt and red tie. Awesome and fantastic. I never saw this before. I visited my Dad in Philly in 1994. Has died of a Heart attack. He was a great man.
My Uncle Raymond Edwards was definitely original. Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip boom boom boom boom boom boom get a job. That deeeeeeep voice was my Uncle Raymond!!!!Rip Unc!!!!!!
@@MsElaineLewis The brother in law was my grandfather. Many nieces and nephews. He was not only a singer. He was also a carpenter by trade!!!! He was awesome to us!!!!!!
Sorry for your loss ❤ he was very talented for sure. I was born in the early 70s but LOVE the 50s. ( born too late as they as they say) my thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏
1:35 I think the chord they hit there sounds even better than the one on the original recording. Impressive how they were still experimenting with new sounds 30 years later!
Man I'm 40 years old and I listened to these guys on Time Life cassettes of the sixties back in the day... Silhouettes and this song stand up in my opinion as one of the best songs ever performed and it is without a doubt my top 20 greatest songs of all time. Stand out ensemble, & such a good song
This is pure magic. I first heard this song after a night of partying and capping it off with watching "Trading Places". Well, of course we didn't make it through the movie, but I remember waking up during the credits and being like "...ah shit, that's a good tune!". I've been in love since.
Adoro essa música. E claro que a descobri pelo filme "Trocando as Bolas" ou em inglês "Trading Places". Cantaram no gogó. Sem truques musicais de hoje! Essa gravação é uma relíquia. Parabéns!
Holy Hell! This is F'ing Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this. I can't believe how they sound just like the record so many decades down the line. Wonderful!
They were in a Paralegal's office. His name was Chuck Rubin, he got their royalties back for them. It was a big day and they sang "Get A Job" to celebrate.
Christopher, the tenor Richard Lewis is my father. I wish he was still alive too. My dad died three days before I turned 13 in 2005 and I've been uploading these videos as a sort of tribute to him and the group. Anyway, this was from a home video that my mom recorded before I was born when traveling with them. She also used to play bass on stage at some of their shows.
@@PaperbackWriter92 God and Jesus Christ bless you and your family they are national treasures I wish I was old enough back then to meet them but I was in kindergarten at the time 🙏❤
30 years and many smokes later...and still sounding sharp!!!

I don't know how many nieces Raymond had, but, he talked about his niece all the time, and his brother-in-law.

He sounds as great here as he did in 1958! ❤️
Sorry for your loss ❤ he was very talented for sure. I was born in the early 70s but LOVE the 50s. ( born too late as they as they say) my thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏
The song still sounds as good as when they sang it in the 50's. 😎👍
True and pure talent. No autotune with that generation of artists.
I am willing to bet you would find great difficulty trying to use autotune.
What a treasure this is!
Yup .
Literally watching and listening to this and thought, "WHAT A TREASURE THIS IS!" LOL
Excellent is an understatement! Love it!!
Man!! The Silhouettes Still sound Good!!!
1:35 I think the chord they hit there sounds even better than the one on the original recording. Impressive how they were still experimenting with new sounds 30 years later!
Sounds amazing.
yep, thanks for making me go back and re-listen for that specifically. Sublime.

Wow, just found this. Amazing talent & chemistry. Better than most musicians today, no autotune, literally a reunion and still got it.
Christ, 30 years later in an office and it's not too far off from the original recording. Awesome.
Great voices.
How wonderful is this!!!! Timeless!
Same . Lyrics work in 2024 too . Get on with it . Get a job
I’m 76 brings back beautiful times. Never thought of it as black music just American. Better times.
Well said . Americans need jobs .
Outstanding! I played this because it's my husband's ear worm at the moment. I didn't expect this live version. These guys still rock.

They still had it there . . . amazing . . .

I can't believe how they sound just like the record so many decades down the line.
Wonderful!

Found a picture of him from 1958 with many black stars including Sam Cooke
Sam Cooke was one of my dad's favorites .
Thank you Shana,those times are definitely missed,,👍
Been wanting to see live recordings of old music like this. Amazing
Wow I loved this song. Seeing this in color/clear is amazing. This just made my day.
I had my own version of the song. That’s what it sounded like to me as a child. Just got corrected when I looked up lyrics
They sounded amazing still!
This NEVER gets old
Right . And it probably never will .
Just incredible !!! I was clapping when it was over, after all those years the still sounded AMAZING !!!
So glad random songs pop in my head and instead of digging through my collection,i put on UA-cam...This scratched my itch
first time i heard this song was in american graffiti and i was hooked. bought the album the next day. and i was 11 years old
I loved this song since I was a child this is amazing
Same . I loved it even during the times I was unemployed .
I MISSED IT ALL BEING ADOPTED AND RICHARD BEING MY UNCLE I WISH I KNEW HIM DAMN!!!!

Beautiful singing 🎶
Que preciosidad a capela son aún mejores, me ecanta esta canciòn de siempre, eran únicos e irrepetibles.😍😘
I moved into my very first apartment a few months before this was recorded .
What a musical gem ! Big thanks for sharing .
I love how they are all smoking. And they are inside. Wow times really have changed quite a lot.
Used to be ashtrays in just about every business when I was a kid.
When people could actually sing without tech. Great sound
Absolute talent, one of my favourite songs growing up. This clip....no mixing desks, mics, filters, hi tech studios, just beautiful singing
Wow, Hell yes. Five Stars ☆☆☆☆☆
Pure magic and talent.
Best office meeting ever!
Man I wish I could've been in that room!!!!!! Just wow

@@PaperbackWriter92 Awesome! Thanks for replying!!
Great rendition.
These people sang it first but the Deltones nailed it with the bass singer ❤🍀

I like to hear the Doo wop groups sing they're all good
How did you guys get the silhouettes performance? I wish these guys were still alive

@@PaperbackWriter92 I appreciate it. Keep putting them up. I loved this song when I was a kid in the 70's, and it never gets old.
William Horton was my grandpa. I never got the chance to meet him but through clips like this he lives on.
@@ELGordo-xg6zr oh, I am so jealous. My friend Diane just bought me one of his records.
5 seconds in and I'm 5 yrs old again and I'm 52 now
Holy Moly! Better than the original!
the Silhouettes' cure for homelessness !
FYI, they start singing at 0:29
Still sound class
Haven't lost it a bit!
Ineffable
Sing
Shhh
❤🎉
👍👌👍👌👍👌
Real cool vid :)
Where are they? And is that the fast talking guy with them?
The IMPORTANCE OF A JOB!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Any context to this?
Yeah, they were in their lawyer's office, 1987, to accept a settlement payment on royalties that were never paid by the publisher.
Alright
Real music, not this rap trash that we’ve got today
So true, could not agree more.
Or Heavy Metal and Techno 👈
These guys are wonderful!
Great stuff top of the line.
So cool....and Canada Dry is represented!!!!
Awesome
