Great old tunes

[PinzaC55]

You're welcome. I have been exploring 1950s music lately and came across this one by Chuck Berry. His dance moves are something else !

 

[T_Bone]

Great song, great video. I can dream about you, Dan Hartman.

 

[maygo]

Two of the greatest tunes ever written, IMHO

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

Not entirely sure how I missed this thread.

Have some from me:

Something different from the Nat Cole version:

These two complement each perfectly

Much better after they got rid of "Miss Ross"

 

[luvulongtime]

1957 and many years before he became famous with Motown covers he wrote and sang doo wop

the saxophone is pure filth

 

[Floyd]

Two of the greatest tunes ever written, IMHO

Whiter Shade of Pale? do me a fcukin favor! That and 'Knights in Shite Satin' have to be two of the most pretentious and most overrated songs ever man. Absolute crapola

 

[Luca]

Let's have a bit of Doo-Wop

Brilliant shouts!

This song although lesser known is one of the greatest songs ever written and this cover is everything I ask for in music, the lyrics are immense on describing a one night love affair.

The lyrics were wrote by Andy Williams.

We don't exist
We are nothing but shadow and mist
In the mirror we look as we pass
Our reflections revealed in the glass

Don't you know that the blood in your veins
Is as lifeless as yesterday's rain
It's a game where we come and conceal
The confusion we feel
As long as we're nameless
Our bodies are blameless

You cried when we kissed
It was nothing but shadow and mist
Two illusion who touch in a trance
Making love not by choice, but by chance
To a theme we tore from their past
To a tango we swore was their last
We are shadows of dance

As long as we're nameless
Our bodies are blameless

You cried when we kissed
It was nothing but shadow and mist
Two illusions who touch in a trance
Making love not by choice, but by chance
To a theme that we tore from their past
To a tango we swore was their last
We are shadows of dance

The last tango...
The last tango...

The first time I heard this song it was like my Soul was reborn. It played a MASSIVE part of my life!

I used to get my hair cut in this little place in Houston, and there'd always be this old guy hanging out at the shop, he was a great character and I got to know him pretty well over the course of 3 years.

He was Huey Long, the last surviving member of the Ink Spots.

My fav Platters song

The first time I heard this song it was like my Soul was reborn. It played a MASSIVE part of my life!

Will always remember the first time I heard it.

 

[tunstall birdman]

Will always remember the first time I heard it.

An unreal moment mate for those that understood.

Hearing it the first time reminded me of the wonder and feelings I got when I heard this track years earlier.
