1959, And I was 5 living in San Diego. I can remember this being on the radio from that time. Jimmy Beaumont co - wrote this when he was still in High School. The high notes at the end by Janet Vogel were improvised in the studio and the producer liked it; so that ending was kept. RIP Jimmy Beaumont, Janet Vogel, Wally Lester, and Joe Verscharen. You are not forgotten.......
the very high notes at the end were done by the female in the group Janet Vogel, the main lead singer was Jimmy Beaumont and at points they are singing simultaneously so you can hear that they are two separate voices :)
From that long ago Spring of '59 ; I was 12 y/o, in 7th grade. 17 y/o Jimmy BEaumont on lead, with 16 y/o Janet Vogel on that soat=ring soprano ! ------------RIP, to all Skyliners. --------------------MJL< 76 y/o
At the end of the song the girl Janet Vogel I believe it was said that she set some kind of a record for the highest active ever recorded on a song I'm not a 100% sure how that goes but that's what I was told and when she did that she was only 16 years old a phenomenal singer..
Yes, There was the great singer Jimmy Beaumont lead singer and great Janet Vogel at the end. Definitely one of my favorite songs ever im listening to music since 1958. One of the greatest doowop songs ever.
Jimmy Beaumont was one of the greatest Doowop singers, this song is one of the greatest Doowop songs ever. All good for me. Janet Vogel added her beautiful falsetto voice at the end. This i Swear is just as good Worth checking if out
Janet Vogel was the back-up singer that reached high "C" at the end of this beautiful song!! A Navy band did a tremendous cover as well of this song!! It came out in 1959!!

Nostalgia hitting me hard.
When I hear this song I think of the movie American Graffiti.
Classic! Honestly one of the best coming of age movies of all time imo.
To " Joe 6 " ----------Amen, Brother ! That wonderful tender moment .-----------WolfSky9
That's were I first heard it.
I was 8 years old at this time. I love this song and the music of those times. It really had heart.

The very last high note as the song ends was sung by the backup singer, but everything before was by the main singer.
Janet Vogel was the back-up singer that reached high "C" at the end of this beautiful song!! A Navy band did a tremendous cover as well of this song!! It came out in 1959!!
Simply the greatest slow song ever made. Period. Pittsburgh born and raised Jimmy Beaumont and the Skyliners.
Beautiful song.❤️

The group and their manager all co-wrote the song!!
Great song and performance 👏👏👏👏
GIRL IN BAND
You belong to me---the duprees
Please play This I Swear by the Skyliners
the female of the group added the high note at and towards the end... you should also listen to the remake of this song by art garfunkel! beautiful..
Guns N Roses covered this on their Spaghetti incident album, and I recommend it. I like the original best, though. Peace!!!
I would have wagered cash that The Skyliners was a Black Do Wap singing group. Terrific version by Eddie Holman if you've never heard it.
Here is a band that has great songs, The Tymes there songs So in love and Somewhere.
