The Rocky Fellers - Little Darlin' (1957)
https://ok.ru/video/68016338053922-1
Wiki: Little Darlin' (song)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Darlin%27
LITTLE DARLIN'
Cindyork HongKong
A song from the movie - American Graffiti
The Diamonds' version followed a month later. The Diamonds were soon covering Little Darlin' successfully.[2] The Diamonds were a Canadian pop group
that evolved into a Doo-Wop group. The Diamonds' version reached number two in sales for eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard ranked this
version as the No. 3 song for 1957.[3]
The Diamonds' version is generally considered a superior version (though some die hard R&B purists disdain it since it is a cover).[citation needed] Allmusic
critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine argues that the Diamonds Little Darlin' is an unusual example of a cover being better than the original:
[T]he Diamonds' take remained the bigger hit, and over the years, the better-known version. Normally, this would have been an outrage, but there's a reason
why the Diamonds' version has sustained its popularity over the years: it's a better, fiercer recording. Both versions are good, even if they're a little silly,
because it's a good doo wop song, giving each member of the quartet a lot to do. At times, the vocal phrases verge on self-parody -- the "ai-ya-yi-yai-yai-ya"'s or
the "wella-wella"'s -- which may be why The Diamonds' version is superior.[4]
On the Pop Chronicles, host John Gilliland claimed that their version was in fact a parody of the genre.[2] Nonetheless, Little Darlin' (primarily the Diamonds' version,
but to some extent the Gladiolas' version) remains an all-time Rock 'n Roll R&B classic.[2]
American Graffiti is a 1973 American coming of age comedy-drama film directed and co-written by George Lucas starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat,
Harrison Ford, Charles Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips and Wolfman Jack. Suzanne Somers has a cameo. Set in Modesto, California in 1962,
the film is a study of the cruising and rock and roll cultures popular among the post–World War II baby boom generation. The film is told in a series of vignettes,
telling the story of a group of teenagers and their adventures over a single evening.
The genesis of American Graffiti was in Lucas' own teenage years in early 1960s Modesto. He was unsuccessful in pitching the concept to financiers and distributors
but found favor at Universal Pictures after United Artists, 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures turned
him down. Filming was initially set to take place in San Rafael, California, but the production crew was denied permission to shoot beyond a second day.
American Graffiti premiered on August 2, 1973 at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland and was released on August 11, 1973 in the United States.
It received widespread critical acclaim and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Produced on a $777,000 budget,[1] it has become one of the
most profitable films of all time. Since its initial release, American Graffiti has garnered an estimated return of well over $200 million in box office gross
and home video sales, not including merchandising. In 1995, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally, historically, or aesthetically
significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. |

Johnny Mathis - What Will My Mary Say (1963) HQ
MUNROWS RETRO
This song has always haunted me from the misty landscape of childhood, usually in the form of a 19th Century western or frontier romance.
The harmonica helps create a sense of timelessness and dreamlike quality that makes it possible to set this lovely song dramatically to almost
any time period from 1863 to 1963. It was an interesting departure for Johnny Mathis from more traditional pop ballads like "Chances Are" and
"It's Not For Me To Say" (I made music videos for both those hits).
The featured actress, Charlotte Stewart, is the same one from the short film, Summer of '63, who appears in my videos of "Theme from A Summer Place,"
"Elenore," and "You're Only Lonely." She went on to appear in TV westerns, like this one (Bonanaza), Little House On The Prairie, The Virginian,
and later in David Lynch's Eraserhead and the series Twin Peaks.
Originally recorded by Mark Dinning in 1961 as "What Will Mary Say," the cover by Johnny Mathis proved to be a smash hit in 1963. And your eyes
don't deceive you: the song was first released in January as "What Will Mary Say" on 45 singles but by April as "What Will My Mary Say" on both singles
and the LP, Johnny's Newest Hits. It reached #9 on Billboard and Cash Box on March 16, 1963.

Jack Jones - Wives And Lovers (1963) HQ
MUNROWS RETRO
During the early 1960s, "traditional pop" was anything but traditional. The success of rock and roll love ballads, for one, had given pop singers and
orchestras a new medium to replace the influence 40's and early 50's swing had had on pop during the 1950s. Newer pop jazz forms and newer swing
forms had also been created in the late 50's to give pop music a more upbeat and modern feel. Among the giants of the new medium were Johnny Mathis,
Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Steve Lawrence & Edie Gormé, Shirley Bassey, Barbra Streisand, Nancy Wilson, and Bobby Darin. Singer Jack Jones, who
shot to fame in 1962 with his version of "Lollipops And Roses," released this song, "Wives And Lovers," written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, in October 1963.
It debuted on Billboard November 2, 1963 and peaked at #14 on January 11, 1964. On Cash Box it debuted on November 9, 1963, peaking at #12 on
December 28, 1963 and holding the position for two weeks. Jack Jones received the 1964 Grammy Award for Best Male Vocal Performance for "Wives And Lovers"
later the following year. This, like so many other retro videos I have done, is a portrait of what was ... and will likely never be again.

Yusuf Islam - The Wind
Yusuf Islam - Peace Train - OUTSTANDING!
Yusuf Islam, formerly known by his stage name Cat Stevens (born Steven Demetre Georgiou on 21 July 1948 in London, UK), is an English musician,
singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, educator, philanthropist and prominent convert to Islam.
As "Cat Stevens," Islam has sold over 60 million albums around the world since the late 1960s. His albums Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat
were both certified by the RIAA as having achieved Triple Platinum status in the United States (three million sales each); his album Catch Bull at Four sold
half a million copies in the first two
weeks of release and was Billboard's number-one LP for three consecutive weeks. His songwriting has also earned him two ASCAP songwriting awards
(for "The First Cut Is the Deepest," which has been a hit single for four different artists.)
Stevens converted to Islam at the height of his fame in 1977. The following year, he adopted his Islamic name Yusuf Islam and left his music career to devote
himself to educational and philanthropic causes in the Muslim community. In 2006, he returned to pop music, with his first album of new pop songs in 28 years,
entitled An Other Cup.
He has been given several awards for his work in promoting peace in the world, including the 2004 Man for Peace award and the 2007 Mediterranean Prize for Peace.
He lives with his wife, Fauzia Mubarak Ali, and five children in Brondesbury Park, London, and spends part of each year in Dubai.
