LOOKING FOR AN ECHO by KENNY VANCE AND THE PLANOTONES
This is a sweet and poignant look at the highpoint of R&B. If you're old enough, this song is a about a lot more than music.
At Erasmus Old High School we used to harmonize,
me and Danny and Ira, and two Italian guys.
We were singing oldies, but they were newies then,
and today when I play my old 45's, I remember when
We'd practice in a subway, in a lobby or a hall,
crowded in a doorway singing doo wops to the wall,
and if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing,
we'd lock ourselves in the bathroom and nobody could get in.
'Cause we were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound,
a place to be in harmony, a place we almost found.
And the girls would gather round us, and our heads would really swell.
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones and the Dells,
and when we sang "Sincerely" we really sang it high.
Even though it was falsetto, it almost reached the sky.
We've sung a lot of changes since 1955,
and a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonize.
Now we've turned into oldies, but we were newies then
and today when I play my old 45's I remember when
We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound,
a place to be in harmony, a place we almost found.

Some of you are going to accuse me of being very sick for posting this, others will learn something, and perhaps some of you will be amused.
This is the Scarfing Scene from the last episode of QAF's first season.
If you don't know what "scarfing" is, google it now (I am not going to tell you), because if you don't know what it is, you won't have any idea what is going on.
That such a dangerous practice would be treated with such lush cinematography and music is amazing. The scarf itself is the central character.

CellarDweller:
can't see the video at work, and from what scarfing is described as, that's probably a good thing.
:laugh:

Did you watch the video when you got home?
Put that scarf down immediately!
