This song has such memories for me. It came out in 1961. I was a freshman at Commerce High School in downtown Detroit. Commerce connected to Cass Tech high school by a bridge. Since the only cafeteria was in Cass Tech the Commerce students had to cross the bridge over to Cass Tech for lunch. I still remrmber the African American student strolling across the bridge singing The Duke of Earl. 😂funny, the things you never forget and always associate with a song. Diane Ross was a senior at Cass Tech that year.
@@jg1174 Not only is Gene Chandler a great musican and singer, he is wise beyond his years. These are words of one who knows how deep music can go to heal the soul. Thanks for sharing this with me. I believe you do too.
This is an iconic song from 1962. It was covered by Sha Na Na, which was the first version I was personally familiar with, but the original is still the best. I'm sure it has appeared in countless films and, as you said, parodied in TV commercials. A great song.
It's a great example of the "Bass Man", the bass singer in an A Capella Doo-Wop band. In fact, that would be a great song for you to do. "Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Cymbal (1963)
That's because the recording is actually by the Dukays, the group that Chandler was the lead singer of. Legend has it that the group broke up AT the recording session for this song, but the truth probably has more to do with the record company's desire to have Chandler move on as a solo act.
It is such a pleasure to listen to all these great old songs where there isn't any anger, cussing, beating on or disrespecting women. Much of the music today is filled with all kinds of nasty and violence that people (especially kids) don't need to be listening to. I am so thankful that I was born in an era where music was truly music. Thanks for another great reaction Ty.
In the "pre-Beatle" days of rock, countless songs were either C-F-G (such as Johnny B Goode and 90% of everything else written by Chuck Berry) or C-Am-F-G such as Duke of Earl, I Wonder Why by Dion and the Belmonts, In the Still of the Night, even Unchained Melody. So it should not come as a surprise that the jingle you heard from an advertiser, while possibly a knock off of Duke of Earl, would sound familiar. Looking back, it is amazing that so many different melodies were created around the same group of chords and chord changes.
Yes! Actually please do anything by Sam Cooke. Bring it on Home to Me and Good News "man ain't that news" were great. I also liked Twistin the Night Away, Having a Party and just anything by him.
Boy, you're doing some songs from my junior high years in Germany (my dad was in the Army). "Since I Don't Have You" was, as you say, a favorite slow dance to end the dance. "Duke of Earl" was a hit when I was at an international Boy Scout chalet in Switzerland, and it reminds me of a certain British Girls Scout, and "Since He Kissed Me" was a great Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" song back then. Love them all.
This is one of my all time favorites. When gene goes into the chorus and the bass singer starts backing up gene it sends me into orbit! Way to go Gene!
I was like 12 when this song was playing the airwaves...made such an impression on this 12 yearold, older siblings listening to their music, spilled on to me, still takes me back to those days. M
☦🔥🤣Thank You!😂🔥☦ In late 60's Detroit, (Motown) a DJ Locked Himself into His (Radio) Station's Broadcasting Studio & Broadcast, "The Duke of Earl" REPEATEDLY, for OVER 24 HOURS! His "Protest, against Motown's Takeover of the Music Industry in Detroit".🤣😂❣He refused to obey the "Cease, Desist, & Vacate," Court Order of Station's Owner. The DPD was called in to Brake through the Door's Barricade, after 24 hours of Broadcasting, & the DJ's refusal to respond. People from all over, (even CANADA) Called Into the Station, To Support the DJ! AND FOR OVER 24 HOURS, EVERYBODY LAUGHED TOGETHER! There were NO, Hyphenated By Skin Color, Victims! Just Human Being's who enjoyed Music, a Good Laugh, & appreciated Someone Who could use Both... BUT, that was in the 1960's, BCCE! "Before Common Core Era"- Current Era that began 35+yrs ago, when a Plague called Common Core, turned American Schools into Federal Daycares for "Victims, of Whatever"! You're an awesome Yougling with a Gift that says you got through, unaffected... (& that Inspires Hope in old f@$t's forced to watch as History Repeats Itself, with a Vengeance!)😎❣☦
I think I may have suggested this awhile back. Anyway, thanks for doing it. There are a ton of these songs that are so good! Btw Ty, you and Gene Chandler look like twins, underneath your beard anyway.
When I was a boy, my dad used to drive our family around in the car and play an oldies channel. This was likely the first place I heard this, though I had started listening to the same oldies station on my own at some point as well. This is as style of music that they call Doo-Wop. It is very frequently noted for it's great harmonies. Might want to check out In The Still Of The Night by The Five Satins. You may have heard the Boyz II Men cover of this from the 1990s, but this one was the original.
Old as me. I’ve heard it and loved it all my life. The falsetto bits and backing vocal arrangements are epic, you never forget them once you’ve heard them.
OMG I was in Jr. High school when this was out! I am 72 now. Loved this song so much, around the same time of the Tokens with The Lion Sleep Tonight. In my music class our instructor would sing for us. So cool. I sang alto and performed once when in high school in glee club. Was so pleased both my mom and grandmother came to see. Wish I could remember the song though. So darn long ago. Some memories are fleeting, and stay fleeting.
This song came out the year I was born. It was my mother's favorite song! My mother passed almost 16 years ago. Thank you for taking me back to some memories of my mom!!
It takes me back to the Marines in 1962. We had a guy we called duke he was like a platoon leader and every time he walked into the barracks we would break out with duke of earl I wish I could go back those were the days I was 18 in 1962.
Gene was still at the top of his game through 2015 or a year or two later. His talent came out on RUclips videos as extraordinary even when Gene was nearing 80! He never lost it! His moves are still there as well!
I have grown up loving this song. This song was a bit before my time, but it used to come on the radio when I was a kid and I could never get enough of it. It's so wonderful, in this age of RUclips that you can pull up tracks and videos of the songs from your childhood. RUclips has both the original performance by Gene Chandler and a more recent performance on an oldie show.
This song is one of my Sunday night favorites. I worked in a cafe kitchen while in HS and on Sunday night we`d have a radio playing the oldies. If you like this one then you`d probably enjoy Brenton Wood singing Oogum Boogum.
I have always loved this song. I watch PBS when they do their fund raisers, and they have doo-wop groups from the 50's and early 60's on. The show must have been done in the 90's. but Gene Chandler comes walking down through the audience, with the tux, top hat, and cane, sing the Duke of Earl. It was great. There are many of those old groups who could still bring it 30 and 40 years from when they had the top hits.
Cheesy and Beautiful at the same time. Ive loved that song for decades. All those New York Black and Italian Street Corner singers had Beautiful voices and harmonies. I Love Doo Wop. The Greatest music to come out of America.
@afr malatesta Don't get antsy mate. Im British, and Duke and Earl are both titles. Earl isn't a place. It sounds a bit cheesy. But if you read my comment properly, you'll know that I love DooWop. Apart from classical, I find it the most Romantic music going. 'I Love You' by the Volumes is one of my fave songs of all time. And so is 'The Duke of Earl.' So don't get strung up about a comment Man. It is cheesy. But that dont mean it ain't Great. I'd make Love to my Princess with that playing, over any crap around at the moment.
Man this is a blast from the past! Taking me back to my childhood and early teens. Did a lot of dancin to this one. Old Doo Wop. Thanks again Ty! Always a joy. Peace!
Came out in '62. I was 18. Walkin' to the beach in Brooklyn to meet my girlfriend. Little did I or anyone on Earth know that in two years the group harmony sound (now called "doo-wop") would suddenly disappear from the airwaves under the "British Invasion" led by the Beatles.
Doo-wop, R&B, R&R were love sings. Rock'n'roll was about PASSION and the energy of youth. When it first hit the AM radio airwaves in the early 1950's it stirred up a storm and was blamed for teenager's rebelling against their parents. It was called "race" music in the South and banned on many radio stations. No one in their wildest dreams ever imagined what was coming and how much bolder the music was going to get. When Danny & the Juniors sang "Rock & Roll is Here to Stay" in 1958, no one thought it would ever end.
50sbaby 🙋🏽♀️😊 oh my goodness I haven’t heard this in forever, one of my running around with my friends song. We turned it up and sang along at the top of our lungs lol
This came out in 62. I met my wife in 69 and whenever this came on the radio it would start her dancing. It's our 50th wedding anniversary next year and I am going to make sure this gets played.
I've always said that's my boyfriend...Love him strutting across the stage on one of PBS. specials. I'll be 70 tomorrow and listen to a lot of reviewers & philosophers on here!! Love your style & passions❣️ Actually my Aunt's played all this music when watching over me as a child💕
On my list of favoorites. 1962, yes I found that it was used in a commercial The success of the song came after the popularity of a TV commercial for Decoré Shampoo which used an adaptation of "Duke of Earl" as its jingle (viz. "De-de-de Decoré, de-de Decoré, de-de Decoré..." etc.). The song was covered by John Goodman in the 1991 comedy film King Ralph.
I grew up listening to this song, and it was always one of my favorites. (Easy to bop along to when you're doing chores around the house. And I won't deny, I wound up singing to the good broom-mic more than once. *LOL*) And I just... I love it. It's just a pure song about a guy who loves his gal, and she makes him so happy he feels like he could be a duke. (At least, that's how I always took it to mean.) Thanks for reacting to it, and I'm glad you enjoyed it too. Another suggestion, (and I see someone else already suggested it, but I'd like to second the motion) is "Stand by Me" by Ben E. King. Great song, you've probably heard it in something or other. (Possibly the movie by the same title.)
I had heard it when I was younger, but hadn't heard it again Until May 24th 2000 my other half and I's first anniversary, we were strolling the Santa Monica Pier as the sunset, we had dinner reservations at one of the restaurant's, we reached the end of the pier to watch the sun set as the song came on, He and I are going back to that restaurant and spot on the Pier next month... 20yrs later
I was 7 years old when this song came out and my older brother (6 yrs older) was a music fanatic, I heard all of these great songs, they are timeless. Thanks for doing reviews on this one and Paul and Paula. I admire who you are and what you stand for, may God Bless you in everything you do!
it is wonderful to see a young man enjoying the Doo Wop music my 89 year old parents grew up with!!! A classic never dies!!!!!
This is one of my all time favorites!!! If you don't smile when you hear this song you have no soul!!!
I was going back through your old vids and am glad I found this! I LOVED this as a young woman. Thanks for playing and liking it.
This song has such memories for me. It came out in 1961. I was a freshman at Commerce High School in downtown Detroit. Commerce connected to Cass Tech high school by a bridge. Since the only cafeteria was in Cass Tech the Commerce students had to cross the bridge over to Cass Tech for lunch. I still remrmber the African American student strolling across the bridge singing The Duke of Earl. 😂funny, the things you never forget and always associate with a song. Diane Ross was a senior at Cass Tech that year.
I was fortunately to be born in the greatest era of music ever! : The 50's , 60's, 70's, and 80's. This is one of Many! Great songs of the 60's.💯
So much good music back in the day.
@@jg1174 Not only is Gene Chandler a great musican and singer, he is wise beyond his years. These are words of one who knows how deep music can go to heal the soul. Thanks for sharing this with me. I believe you do too.

Please do Up On the Roof by the Drifters or Stand By Me by Ben E. King.
Come on, if this guy says he's never heard stand by me I'mma call bullshit.
Spanish Harlem by Been E. King also great.
Or "I Wonder Why" by Dion And The Belmonts.
This when a man held his woman in his arms and they were one heart and soul. So romantic.
This is another great classic from 1962 that always makes You smile when You hear it justr like you did Ty.
It's a great example of the "Bass Man", the bass singer in an A Capella Doo-Wop band. In fact, that would be a great song for you to do. "Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Cymbal (1963)
Man your variety is on point. Love the harmonies in this oldie. Cheers mate
One of the greatest songs of all time. Gene Chandler !! I was 13 in 1962. Long live Doo Wop !! Thank You Gene and The back up group!!
Gene Chandler sounds like a one man doo wop group on this song.
That's because the recording is actually by the Dukays, the group that Chandler was the lead singer of. Legend has it that the group broke up AT the recording session for this song, but the truth probably has more to do with the record company's desire to have Chandler move on as a solo act.
🤔Very true.
Haven't heard this on in like 60+ years. We had a barbershop quartet in high school and I sang the base background. Love this song.
I so love watching your reactions you are a hoot. A plus for progress is you young'uns get a taste of 1900's music that was and still is the greatest!
So glad that you have discovered "Duke of Earl" Gene Chandler.
Your life is changed.
In Australia they used this instrumental and changed the words to a shampoo/conditioner product called decore and I remember it 30 years later
Edmund Cooke V yep. Remember that😀
Took me back to my childhood when my parents would play their music from their era...thanx for the positive reaction.,.,.

This song is over a half century old and it still kicks butt. Awesome awesome awesome.
#1 classic from 1962...
Brings back memories!!! Love it! He used to come to Memphis and joke that he came from Earle, Ark. across the river! Fab entertainer and singer!
One of the all-time best songs!
agreed
I third that the emotion.
I love it!
im glad im old and got a chance to hear all the great music back then. i dont believe i listen to any music thats newer then 1990s.

Please do "Bring It On Home To Me" by Sam Cooke
Yes! Actually please do anything by Sam Cooke. Bring it on Home to Me and Good News "man ain't that news" were great. I also liked Twistin the Night Away, Having a Party and just anything by him.
Sock hops, on gym floors doing the stroll. OH yeh! another world.
I was 13 when I heard this song. I went to the movie theater and this video was playing before the movie started
This song came out in 1961, my freshman year in high school. Yeah! I'm old!
But still rockin' right?

Some of that under the street light on the corner, burn Barrel, pass the bottle Doo Whop.
born in 56 absolutely the best pure soul filled with love grew up with that kind of music the best
I'm almost 70 yrs old and that was one of my favorites when I was a teenie bopper.
This guy is one of the few who seems genuine reacting.

That particular chord progression was used a lot in mid 50's to early 60's.
One of the great vocal stylist of all time. Like The Tokens “ The Lion Sleeps tonight”

I was syncing with the tune too! Great vid 😀
I always thought it was funny when he says dukedom.
KJ D that made me chuckle, too.
This is a great classic! From 1963!! The great Gene Chandler of Chicago..from Chicago!! One of the best songs of all time!!!
I sang lead to this song in a music theather back in 1999 and it was liked by many people. Great song. I was 25 years old.

It is cheesy. But that dont mean it ain't Great.
I'd make Love to my Princess with that playing, over any crap around at the moment.
There are a bunch of old songs from that era you probably haven’t heard that a great
do the 1959 classic by the Coasters " Charlie Brown"
Gems like this one are why it's good to listen to music from different decades.
Man this is a blast from the past! Taking me back to my childhood and early teens. Did a lot of dancin to this one. Old Doo Wop. Thanks again Ty! Always a joy. Peace!
Great song. Gene Chandler was a Grammy winner. Old music is the best music.
One of the classics from my era
Came out in '62. I was 18. Walkin' to the beach in Brooklyn to meet my girlfriend. Little did I or anyone on Earth know that in two years the group harmony sound (now called "doo-wop") would suddenly disappear from the airwaves under the "British Invasion" led by the Beatles.

He was the man, very suave (full of swag). I catch his old performances on PBS. If you get a chance find an actual video.
I fell in love with doo wop at the age of 14 I'm 27 now and I'm still in love with these oldies but goodies
Love this song !! my grandparents era was the 40s to 60s .... this song is also in one of my favorite movies "Hairspray" (1988)
I grew up listening to this song, and it was always one of my favorites. (Easy to bop along to when you're doing chores around the house. And I won't deny, I wound up singing to the good broom-mic more than once. *LOL*) And I just... I love it.

My dog was named Earl after this song, long ago. Classic doo wop! Please do some Mary Wells, The One Who Really Loves You.
Great 50s tune. This is one of the songs played at almost every car cruise I've ever been to.
We had a commercial for Decore shampoo here in Australia when I was young with the tune as well. De De De De-co-re.
The platters. My prayer!
I had heard it when I was younger, but hadn't heard it again Until May 24th 2000 my other half and I's first anniversary, we were strolling the Santa Monica Pier as the sunset, we had dinner reservations at one of the restaurant's, we reached the end of the pier to watch the sun set as the song came on,

some of my favorite music ever. love oldies. 👊💚
My Mom and Dad had this on vinyl 45. I heard it often as a child. Very nice memories you have stirred, MRM. Thank you.
The Carpenters first hit, "We've Only Just Begun", was derived from a bank commercial.
King Ralph... John Goodman covered this song...
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that right away.
I forgot about that
Me and my 1st love. He was from Earle St. Dukes. We made a baby to this. 36 years ago.
Thats as real as music will ever be.
Soul music.
One of my favorite oldies! The Duke of Earl.
By the way I'm from UK love your channel some memories brought back with music especially from sixties
