If Anka wasn't worried... he should have been. Don't get me wrong I love Anka's original but Johnny KILLED this one. When G-d blesses you with a voice like this YOU have to know you were meant to SING. He was BORN to do this.
@@cag758 yes!! I’ve said this before, all due respect to Mr. Anka (a favorite of mine) - Johnny blows the roof off of this song. So much passion and perfect pitch, he was/is phenomenal! But I’m preaching to the choir, right? 😛😄👍
I could listen to this man for hours! What a tremendous voice! He should have had a solo career! Most of the songs he sung, he did better than the original artist! Amazing! Thank you so much Johnny Contardo!!
I think they did this when Anka was on the show but the ending was cut off on the videos I saw. Nice to see it completed. Anka couldn't have dissed Johnny no how no way on this song. Contardo out did himself.
pops whippersnapper, when I tried learning to drive, I couldn't coordinate the wheel because I have a problem with balance. I was so upset, I tore up my drivers permit and said: "Forget it! I'm taking the bus!" I do understand your point about Johnny and Paul. Johnny is like an upscale restaurant while Paul is like a fast food restaurant!
@@LisaKoffler Paul Anka was on the show for this episode if I'm correct. I'm pretty sure that's the reason. To sound as good or better than your guest... wasn't going to happen.
I don't mean to be mean, but I HATE it when little girls act like "zombies" in situations like this! It doesn't matter whether or not they were born and raised in the '50s, but they still could have at least smiled when Johnny came up to them! If it was me, I'd have my hand ready for him to hold while he's singing to me!

You’re 1000000000 % correct

Absolutely! Johnny is STILL singing today!
I could listen to this man for hours!
What a tremendous voice!
He should have had a solo career!
Most of the songs he sung, he did better than the original artist!
Amazing!
Thank you so much Johnny Contardo!!
I cannot agree with you more. Johnny Contardo is in a league of his own.
He does have a solo career, along with his own Facebook and UA-cam websites!
How in the world did this man not blow up as a solo artist filling arenas around the world? That voice is gorgeous!
Agree totally. Beautiful voice.
He has a. Huge catalogue of music from back then to now. He’s on FB and records songs weekly now. You should check it out.
Johnny DOES perform solo, just like Bowzer!
Johnny Contardo awesome voice and very handsome
He was the handsomest member of the group!
Holy mackerel! That song was made for him!!!!!
Johnny was BORN with his outstanding singing voice, but he didn't know it until he was 6 years old!
Love all ShaNaNa music
Johnny is still fantastic. What a beautiful voice.
Nobody does it better or with such emotion. ❤️
Johnny's an emotional guy, with a personality to match!
I think he does this song better than Paul Anka! He’s amazing.
Awesome Johnny..that voice is amazing!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡
What a voice!!!!
What an entertainer!
Just beautiful
Classic Doo Wop/Rock-n-Roll forever.
you sing that so heavenly. Lord Lord Lord
Bravissimo Johnny! I always loved this > No one sings it better than you!!!!
Thank you so much for this. those of us who are old enough to actually remember these songs and Sha na na thank you!
This man is Scrumptiously delectable!!!
Yep.
I don't think Johnny would be "edible," but he would be huggable!
Beautiful voice!
He was BORN with it!
thanks for the wonderful johnny (shanana) video he's fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I were 15 again I'd look to those beautiful eyes of his so he'd sing thiis to me.
You don't need to be a teenager again to enjoy Johnny Contardo!
Majestic performance here by Sha Na Na 💔 💔 + Hammer Horror star Yutte Stensgaard sitting in the audience 💜 💜
I love the way he says "reverie", it sounds so sexy ...
Everything about this man is sexy!! Lol To this day.
Johnny always had his own magic touch!
I think they did this when Anka was on the show but the ending was cut off on the videos I saw. Nice to see it completed. Anka couldn't have dissed Johnny no how no way on this song. Contardo out did himself.
Johnny ALWAYS outdoes himself when he sings!
Great Great johnny
This was from a 1978 airing of Sha Na Na TV Show..Remember ? Of Course we all do...
Oh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny! You are my dream and you are my punishment. I adore you, baby
WOW! That's quite a compliment for a dreamy, Italian Prince Charming!
THERE'S ONLY ONE JOHNNY HIGHTONE!!!
There's only one Johnny Contardo!
Johnny's such a sweetiepie!
Yes he is!
This 1 was kinda what began Johnny bringing a girl onstage to sing to !!
It's either that or he goes to girls directly while they're sitting in the front row of the audience!
I love this song from Johnny C.❤❤❤❤
SNN is one of my favs too and if there are more in my archives I'll certainly upload it.
Miss these guys
They're still around! Just go to their website.
@@LisaKoffler wow! I had no idea, thanks
they are awesome always loved them
Always Johnny. XXXXX
Absolutely!
REAL good
Guys are so cool
THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT. WISH THE QUALITY WAS A LITTLE BETTER BUT CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY TO HAVE THIS.
Johnny is the pro.
..
Still is! You should check out his new YT channel!
He also has his own Facebook website, but I like UA-cam better!
awesome....
Wow love this song !!!!💖💖💖😘
Always to hear this version - comparing Contardo to Anka is like comparing beer to champagne.
Comparing beer to champagne? Since I don't drink, it would be hard for me to really know the difference!
@@LisaKoffler If you drive then Contardo is like a Mercedes and Anka is like a used Ford Escort

Whilst I like both voices Johnny's is like liquid gold.
"Liquid Milk?" I never heard of that before, but Johnny's voice is what dreams are made of!
Be still my heart!!!
Amen!!! He's hot hot hot!!!!
He's been always hot.
You mean like the song Buster Poindexter sings?
Paul is great. Johnny is great.
Paul is good, but Johnny is better!
@@LisaKoffler And that's why the ending was cut short.
Tonithenightowl, I don't know what to think, except that different people have different opinions.
That's what I thought about something else about you every day off 💕 you baby boy so sweet 🎂
Oh my God
True detectives!
NO detectives necessary here!
Johnny did not cover a song. He made it his own.
I always thought he did both!
@@LisaKoffler he did.
How long did thier show last?
Finns dom inte längre som Shanana? Dom var ju helt underbara! Precis min musik! Vad har hänt med dom efter Shanana?
This is all live...not lip synch, right???
PungiFungi the lead was live. Backgrounds and music prerecorded.
I'm can't believe he didnt end that on a high note. We know damn well he could have done it.
It doesn't matter - he's STILL wonderful to listen to!
@@LisaKoffler Paul Anka was on the show for this episode if I'm correct. I'm pretty sure that's the reason. To sound as good or better than your guest... wasn't going to happen.
Tonithenightowl, I thought they were both good, but Johnny's voice is stronger!
@@LisaKoffler I love Paul Anka but Johnny nailed this song to the wall.
Det var inte Annie Alexis som skrev nyss! Det var Thina Alexis!
Always has to be someone negative. Probably because their lives are less than zero
Yes, that's always a possibility.
