Doo Wop

Time to re-mem-mem-mem-ber those past summer loves with a great doo wop golden oldie. And the song is about nostalgia. The Earls (aka Larry Chance and the Earls) formed their doo wop group in the Bronx in the early 1960s. Members were Larry Figueiredo (Chance), Bob Del Din, Eddie Harder, Larry Palumbo, and Jack Wray. They have had a number of personnel changes over the years, but they continue to perform and can still bring down the house. The song was released at the end of 1962. It rose to #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #29 on the R&B Chart in 1963. There have been covers by Jimmy Powell, Sha Na Na, and Showaddywaddy.

Here are the lyrics:

Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Then, then, remember then

Whoa, oh, oh…

That night we fell in love
Beneath the stars above
That was a lovely summer night
Remember then, then
Then, then, then

Remember
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Then, then, remember then

Whoa, oh, oh
Remember then

Summer’s over
Our love is over
To lose that love was such a sin
Remember then, then
Then, then, then

Remember, re-mem-mem
Mem-mem-mem-mem-ber

Our love is in the past
(Patta past)
Oh, has it gone so fast
(Patta past)
Why couldn’t our love last
(Can’t last)
Wop, wop, patta patta pop pop
Shoo wop-doo bop bop, ooh

I’m broken hearted now
Since we have parted now
My mind wanders now and then
Remember then, then
Then, then, then

Remember
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber…

For More Golden Oldies Music       

The Daily Doo Wop Rec Room has daily featured doo wop, rock and roll, R&B, or rockabilly songs that were hits during the first era of rock and roll (that is, from about 1952 until the British invasion in 1964). After a song is featured, it then goes into the juke box. You are welcome to listen to any of the 40+ selections there. Every weekend, there is a Golden Oldies Juke Box Saturday Night, and the juke box is full of song requests from the 1950s and 1960s.
