Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y’all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive
Can’t you hear me knockin' on your window
Can’t you hear me knockin' on your door
Can’t you hear me knockin' down your dirty street, yeah
Help me baby, ain’t no stranger
Help me baby, ain’t no stranger
Help me baby, ain’t no stranger
Can’t you hear me knockin', ah, are you safe asleep?
Can’t you hear me knockin', yeah, down the gas light street, now
Can’t you hear me knockin', yeah, throw me down the keys, alright now
Hear me ringing big bell tolls
Hear me singing soft and low
I’ve been begging on my knees
I’ve been kicking, help me please
Hear me prowling
I’m gonna take you down
Hear me growling
Yeah, I’ve got flatted feet now, now, now, now
Hear me howling
And all, all around your street now
Hear me knocking
And all, all around your town
Oh, how I loved the Ames Brothers in the 50s. They sang the most beautiful songs. They were all so very handsome, and as a teenager, I fell in love with all of them! Does anyone agree with me that the music of the 50s was truly that which touched the hearts of all those who listened to and loved these groups? I know that I never forgot them or got over them. They were jewels of our era! Please let me know if you agree with me.

I am updating my "60 Years ago" playlist. And out of the 45 songs I have on there so far, this is the song that got stuck in my head.. just the "no no no" part
Wonderful song from a very special singing group. The Ames Brothers were born in Malden, Mass to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. They were a family of 11 children, 9 of whom survived childhood. The 4 youngest became this singing group. Joe, the oldest in the group, turned down an opportunity to sing with a touring company of the Metropolitan Opera Company at the urging of his mother who wanted the boys to remain together feeling it was their best chance to escape the poverty of the ghetto.
Funny; I bought this record (album shown) some 20 years ago (for my mom) and played it alot. This version was not what was on that record. It was faster and more orchestra sound; not piano.
