Tubetastic Thursday - Darling Lorraine

Hello pop pickers!

Today I'm taking you back to the year 1959. Unless you like buying compilation cd's of the "these songs never were successful, but aren't all terrible" type, then I doubt you'll have heard this one.

I give you:
The knockouts - darling Lorraine



Ok, now to try and explain this one. Well, first it's a great doo wop song. Two and a half minutes of spine tingling goodness. I must also admit to a liking of the idea of 1950's America. The stylised version we get from tv, the cars, the clothes, the music, drive ins. Yes, I realise it was not like that.

So who would be my darling Lorraine?

Lorraine Baines from "back to the future". Ok, four years too early, and fictional, but never mind eh?
