Sha Na Na - Unchained Melody video free download

The TV show songs were Live lead vocals, with the rest lip synced. They recorded everything in the studio, then pantomimed on the tv studio stage. This was done by the producers in as much that SNN had little say on the technical decisions. When Bowser had a prominent bass part i.e., blue moon, that was also sung live. Sometimes the bass part was prerecorded and Bowser sang live over it. The songs were done in 1 or two takes. Any mistakes in lipsyncing were basically ignored. The funniest example of this is "Shout" when Lennie sat at the drums for the final portion of the song and started late for the final drum riff. What did the producers do? They added a laugh track to the miscue. My sources for much of this info are Donny York & Scott Simon

Maybe they lip-synched on TV, but when I saw them at the Allentown (PA) Fairgrounds in '81, they put on a fabulous show.

I don't think lip syncing was done at this time. It is quite possible that the audio and video were out of sync. Can anybody provide any info to the contrary?

I really like this version.

Victor Vogel

I keep seeing the comments saying they're lip-synching, but based on Johnny's vowel sounds when he sings his part the two times, the vowel sounds match up to the shape his mouth makes. Still could be, of course. Now, it could be just a musical backing track...that's a little too obvious.

With the exception of Bowzer, really pathetic in the obviousness of the drummer and pianist failing to join in the lip-synch illusion. Also Johnny's tight's make him look flaming. Vito and the Salutations are the real item.

My now 11 years olds Doo Wop epiphany was watching these guys on Woodstock. Judy Collins to The Who to Sha Na Na and she never looked back.

Takes "divergent thinking" to another level. The Righteous Brothers are on some other planet.
