Tell Him No - authentic Rock & Roll, 1959 video free download

countrypaul

Nice version; not the original, of course. BTW, Travis and Bob, who did the original, came from Mobile, Alabama, not Bakersfield. There was also a nice contemporaneous cover version on Bullseye by Dean and Marc, who later became the background 2/3 of The Newbeats. The Everly Brothers, prime exponents of this sound, weren't the first to do it, but they were its foremost exponents and arguably the best. All that said, this song is a gem and deserves a contemporary version.

Richard Smith

This is not bad but can't match Travis & Bob or for that matter Dean& Marc of the newbeats.

St Pauli

It's Rock-A-Billy at it's finest!

John Benn

Does it matter. Probably more like Rock-a-Billy ! But who cares?

John Duffy III

What a timeless classic 1959 song by Travis and Bob!

John Weems

Wow that's pretty cool that Cliff Crofford is your grandpa ! I remember watching Town Hall Party as a kid living in L.A. What a great show. It had less well known talents on the show but many were top-notch in my opinion, including Billy & Cliff. God bless your grandpa & I hope he is well and content. John Weems.

Jay Christy

great song I love the oldies format however I would like to see radio come back to its origanal sound it was live it was exciting and most entertaining, I find myself listining to alot of old air checks of radio days gone by .....bring back the old format and the real talent .

Good job on this song ! The original was done by Travis and Bob. NOT the Everlys.

Happy 80th Birthday to you Mr. Mize. Bill Sage here, and I'm working with your grandson, Joe, on his movie. The pedigree is strong. I feel like I'm watching Joe in black and white with his hair combed.

Great song! They showed the Everly Brothers how it should be done, and it gets no better than this.

I belive everybody's got a point there; this was a world-wide hit, like "Born to Lose", "The Three Bells", "Waterloo", "Cotton Fields", "I Know Where I'm Goin", "Jimmy Brown the Newsboy", all forgotten 'cause it would be more politically forget if people had listened to "No Diddley" insteda; I'm an amateur historian not a racist (from Denmark).

jekiwe,what you say has a lot of truth.what its all about is always the same---money.the listening public is considered ignorant and will listen to whatever thier spoon fed.i don't listen to oldie stations any longer,there just pathetic.thats whats so neet about you-tube.

jeff werner

Unfortunately the "older" program directors and the just as old music directors..the best of the past...are no longer in commercial radio. Only the geniuses are left and that's why we hear the same old crap oldies on the so-called oldies stations. Today's consultants..programmers...and others of your ilk. May you rest in perg. or some other affable place. Real oldies live on thanks to YT

Because the oldies stations don't know about oldies, people work there because they need a job, because they need money no because they know this old good music. I'm I right or wrongz?
