Some one told me that the lead singer is Tom Hanks (Forest Gupp) father.
Great song, and the Diamonds have improved with age. I hear it regularly on XM 5.
Unlike much of PBS offering, the 50s music special from which the later version comes is well done and worth watching.
Not sure about the Tom Hanks issue but the lead singer, Dave Somerville was also a member of The Four Preps.

We had our annual Barbershop show last night- my quartet did a great arrangement of "In the Still of the Night." Lots of more popular type music is being arranged in barbershop style, to attract younger folks. My 3 kids and I also did the Beatles' "When I'm 64." I think we got a video of it, and am going to try to get it posted on Youtube- will post a link, if I'm successful.
Hal: I gotta push further back in time.. '55 & 56 with "Rock around the Clock." How about the movie American Graffiti? Lots of Oldies in it..

every time i watch American graffiti..
Harrison Ford- I think it was his first credited role. And ditto for Suzanne Somers, who was the blonde in the T-Bird.
Great movie. The stereotypes (Toad, John Milner, MacKenzie Phillips) were pretty realistic.
'62 was my first year in high school. Quite a few hot rods and mildly customized cars in the parking lot, and everything was actually pretty harmless. Great time to be a kid.

That would be Harrison Ford
Mine too. I graduated in 67 but never got my "car coat".
Did you notice that the car that was rolled in the drag race was not the same 55 used earlier in the movie (for obvious reasons)?
The car that was rolled had a single exhaust, probably a 6 cylinder sacrifice car.

you should have heard the laugh that "little darlin' " brought the night i did it at karaoke, after an insufferable string of country songs by everyone else. a couple guys in the bar knew what it was going to be as soon as it started.
please- hold my hand....

They were here in Iowa at the casino twoyrs ago for free and huge crowd at that time original group since then one has died.
I graduated in 1951, but I was suppose to graduate in 1950. Our class was the first class to be in the 12th grade when MD went from 11 years of school to 12 years. Two years later I was drafted into the Army. My brother joined the Air Force in 1951 3 days after we graduated. Hal
