Happy Birthday Otis Williams (1936.)It gets confusing as this is *not* Otis Williams (born Otis Miles, Jr.) of The Temptations!#dapimusic #mymusichangout #doowop #OtisWilliams #singersongwriter #OtisWilliamsandTheCharms #bornonthisday #bornonthisdate

According to Marv Goldberg's R&B site, they were from Cincinnatti OH. This is a cover of Cathy Carr's original.

I can understand where you are coming from. I was born in the late '70's and I often fantasize about what it would have been like to have been around in the romantic decade of the '50's and the early '60's. I can't imagine a world where everyone listened to great music.

i really wish i was alive in those years. just being alive would have been an honor, even if i were a tiny baby, just having breathed in air that at some point was filled with music so nice, simple, and sweet such as this, and later the beach boys. but no, i had to be born in the late 80's. damnit.

Another little musical tidbit - This song also peaked at #1 as a Territorial pop hit in the Denver area.
