OLD 55 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is a popular feature in the Songfactors' Choice Top Ten Threads. I must pay credit to Farin for initiating this idea almost 2 1/2 years ago. Posting videos/audios here will give us a chance to air the songs we like, and to familiarize them with others who may not know them. I hope you'll support it !

OLD 55 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is one of my favorite doo-wop singles of the 50s. Silhouettes - The Rays (1957) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Onya edna. Please tell us if you like 'Silhouettes' too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 You know I was gonna ask you about doing this for the Top 40....Great Idea...gives more of a chance to listen to songs, especially the ones we don't know... Silhouettes is just okay for me 55, it would have to depend on the other noms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Boney Moronie ~ Larry Williams Lovey Dovey ~ Buddy Knox When I listened to this song, I noticed a very familiar line in it that was used in a #1 hit song in 1973....Hmmm what song was it?.....

MindCrime Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I'd like to see this one join in.. The Wanderer - Dion (1961) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Laurie, I think that would be Steve Miller's "The Joker". He 'borrowed' a few lines from Lovey Dovey. I like Buddy Knox, but not his version of that song. I used to play his version of Party Doll a lot. Bony Moronie, yes, depending on other nominations. Kenne, I like Dion. Let's try to get The Wanderer in ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I like them all. I'd vote for Silhouettes... I'll try to post some links for my noms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Here's one of my favorite Patti Page songs, Old Cape Cod. This is the original 1957 multi voice tracked version. It's very difficult to find, as most of her 'Best Of' Albums have a later re-recorded version without the vocal overdubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Darryl, Silhouettes is one of my favourites too. Ãou know I'm a big 4 Seasons fan and and their version of Silhouettes was the first one I heard. The Seasons introduced me to doo-wop and made great covers of Little Darlin', Stay, Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby, Since I Don't Have You, 16 Candles and many more.

OLD 55 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I didn't know the 4 Seasons had done versions of all those oldies Lars. I've only got some of their singles and a couple of 'Best Of' Albums on vinyl. There's equipment advertised on the market now to record vinyl to CDs. I wonder if anyone here has tried it ?
