Re: [Chrysler300] 1957 Explained

Lefty would have been the monolog guy with the "Darling, I need you, to hold in mine your little hand" at the Carmel 300 Meet but at the last minute, the Vocal Gentry decided that they hadn't practiced Little Darling enough and had to replace it with "Who put the bomp in the bomb bah bomp"  Lefty had the Little Darling part well practiced to no practical purpose.

We saw this original group perform in Tarpon Springs, FL at a security traders 
onvention in 1987. They were dressed significantly more casual and fitting for 
he 1950's. BTW, I believe the "original" song was done by a black group known 
s the Clovers and the Diamonds did this "cover" of it as was common in those 
ays.

 The Diamonds playin' wide open on KIOA or WHB-AM, top and windows down,
 pipes-a-talkin'. Old timers will want to go back in time and the music may
 help the whippersnappers to fully understand the cars of the '50's-it was
 all about transport to new places at a new pace.
 
 2 Performances 47 years apart 
 
 If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will
 probably remember the group, "The Diamonds" who had just launched their
 super hit "Little Darlin' ". For you that are too young to remember - it was
 a time when the performers were happy, enjoying themselves, respecting their
 fans, dressed appropriately and their lyrics could be understood. They did
 not feel obligated to scream, eat the microphone, mumble inaudible lyrics or
 trash the set. 
 
 In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 years later, they
 were requested to perform at Atlantic City ... This link leads to both
 performances. 
 
 Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later.

 FYI - The lead singer of the Diamonds is also the father of Tom Hanks
 
 Enjoy the trip!

 1964 Chrysler 300K-coming along nicely-has an AM radio with a lunchbox sized
 reverb unit behind the back seat-can't wait to hear '50's & '60's music with
 adjustable reverberation.
