Fantastic!! I'm convinced that when I die I'll hear this song as I go to meet my Lord. Thank you for using your fine vocal talent! God bless and keep you always!❤
Absolutely amazing performance. He's right. He's one of those rare singers that you have to be watching the video to be able to tell how old they were when it was taped.
HAHAHAHAHA it's do wop so named because so many songs they sang du wop OR do wop or even bop bop bop in the background But doo woo was the Chinese version LOL!
The guy had a very underrated voice by all means.This song is absolutely gorgeous.I remember my brothers listening to this in their cars when I was only 8 or 9…Better days gone by…………..
Sir, I have enjoyed no loved this song for 54 years. Your voice is a national treasure for many of my generation and should be recognized as such. To be able to sing it so perfectly after all this time is beyond belief.
I heard this for the first time in (I think) 1961. It brings back good memories of better - and younger - days. Thanks Jimmy Stephens and whoever posted this!
Kenny maryland image of a girl this was the song that drove me over the edge at 15. Her name was jeannie. She was also my Venus in blue jeans . I'm 66 now. I am so glad that I grew up in that part of time . Teenagers of today have no idea what love and a true relationship is all about.
+Kenny Mcdowell I JUST TURNED 60...I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OLDER BACK THEN,...NOW I WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT TIME. YOU ARE RIGHT, TEENAGERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A CRUSH IS..I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE A TEENAGER NOW
all they have now is some queen hoe screeching about putting a ring somewhere...there are no more singers...just T & A and fireworks to cover it all up
@@jonnychingas5757 I guess it depends on definition. or thought process. To me, the song evokes an image of a California surfer girl on a sunset beach. The California surfing craze was just underway in 1960.
@@jonnychingas5757 The surfing craze started in the late 1950's in California. In Hawaii it was much earlier than that. Duke Kahanamoku, sometimes referred to as "The father of surfing' popularized the sport back in the early 1900's. So the sport has been around for awhile.
@@hossridr1 I don't a damn about the history of surfing It doesn't interest me in the least all I was asking is what does surfing have to do with this song "Image of a Girl" and the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING So stop posting irrelevant surfing comments.
In two weeks, I'll be 69 years old and I still haven't found her. Don't get me wrong. There have been some wonderful girls along the way, but ever since I was a teenager there has been that one girl that has haunted my dreams. Where ever you are, we need to find one another. We are running out of time.
Its the same with me. Had some great loves but never found the love that just felt complete. Love this music and always dreamed of a soul mate that I could share it with and slow dance to.
On this day in 1960 {June 18th} the Safaris performed "Image of A Girl" on the ABC-TV program 'Dick Clark's Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show'... Twelve days earlier on June 6th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #6 and spent 18 weeks on the Top 100... In the United Kingdom the song was covered by Mark Wynter; his version reached #11... R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012} and group member Sheldon Breier, who passed away on December Eve of 1999...
awesome Jimmy!!! You have a phenomal voice!!!! Please come to east coast atlantic city or philly I will definently be at all ur concerts....what memories
AH the memories !! Who needs the Beatles, give me DOO WOOP & Motown any day!!
I like when artists perform their hits EXACTLY as they were recorded Many times live performances are sung differently!!
Fantastic!! I'm convinced that when I die I'll hear this song as I go to meet my Lord. Thank you for using your fine vocal talent! God bless and keep you always!❤
Music will never, ever, ever be this good again. This song is very dear to me.
Absolutely amazing performance.
He's right. He's one of those rare singers that you have to be watching the video to be able to tell how old they were when it was taped.
I love, love, LOVE this song so much, still!! It is the most beautiful song ever. Today's music cannot touch this.
Just a beautiful song. Song of teenage years looking for someone special. Something most of us dreamed of
God I can remember the first time I heard this song in a pizza shop on Long Island.I was all of thirteen.Now I am 63 WOW.Rock On
One of the most haunting doo woo ballads ever!
HAHAHAHAHA it's do wop so named because so many songs they sang du wop OR do wop or even bop bop bop in the background
But doo woo was the Chinese version LOL!

Brings back memories of the early years of the California surfer craze.
What does this song have to do with the "surfer craze" ???

Thanks Jimmy for all the great sounds then and now...
The Safaris, a marvelous Doo Wop vocal group . Flip side , Four Steps To Love, an upbeat Doo Wop was also excellently performed .

Great drummer !! what kind of drums is he playing ? anybody
Wish they showed a bit more of his backup group. My good friend is one of them.
These songs are the only thing I remember, now where is my but. lol...:)
How many young singers that the "Tube" has said have talent will be around in 50 years, not Juistin B, can guarrantee that.
60 years ago they were saying the same thing about Rock n Roll.
great do wap song to dance slow and he can still sing great in the same key
wow1
Check out the drummer, is he reading music? That would be a first!!
John Young actually no he has probably never played that song before and needed the music just tell him where he was at
@ringo244 Me too only at the candy store in (Long Island Bethpage)
I found my image and she married me. Love you baby !!
just an image?
I know it is cliche but kids today have no clue what incredible music tghey missed compared to much of the crap today.
