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. http://www.flixxy.com/the-diamonds-little-darlin-1957-2004.htm FYI - The lead singer of the Diamonds is also the father of Tom Hanks Enjoy the trip! Rich Barber Brentwood, CA 1955 Chrysler C-300-Ready for the 2012 shows 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.
