I was born in 1955, and I remember hearing this song a lot as a kid in Michigan.

Zseniális!

So these are proper, purpose-made music videos, like the "Soundies" produced by William Forest Crouch that documented the Jubalaires. What I want to know is, how were these films distributed and seen? Who were their audiences? Did anyone make any money? Why do we know about the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots yet the Deep River Boys and the Jubalaires, not so much?

really enjoyed this - thanks! Why am I thinking of Boney M...

[@L1V2P9]

I dunno, I'm thinking of Brook Benton whose version was big when I was a kid.

I love this... when you play The song you can hear on Modern beat that could be modified to this song

Its almost hard to take them seriously in those costumes. Great performance though.
