I would,t say del shannon sings Doo Wop.....but its never a bad time to listen to his music. had a string of hits in the 60,s...he had his issues.....eventually he took his own life...sad, very sad

I didn't know that. Sad.

Nice ethereal take.

Here's the original:

For a boy who grew up in NYC in the 50s/60s all this is REAL music to my ears. Full of sentiment, pathos, longing, joy and incredible feeling. Plus as we used say, easy to dance to.

[The Oracle]

Not my times , but I love the songs. My sister use to play this over and over and scream in joy. Now I love it too.

Shannon had a career resurgence after this song was used in the opening of Crime Story.

Great song ..Timeless when you consider it.
