The Diamonds - The Diamonds Collection
Review by Aleksandra Ivkovic
The Diamonds Collection is a remarkable album that showcases the best of the Diamonds' music. The album features classic hits like "Little Darlin'," "The Stroll," and "Silhouettes," which have stood the test of time and continue to be popular today.
The Diamonds were known for their tight harmonies and upbeat sound, and this album captures that spirit perfectly. The songs are fun and catchy, with a mix of doo-wop, rock and roll, and pop influences. The production is polished, and the musicianship is top-notch.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," which features lead vocals from Dave Somerville. His smooth voice perfectly complements the song's catchy melody and lyrics. Another highlight is "Love, Love, Love," which has a more soulful sound and showcases the group's vocal range.

After I heard this song I got into bikes and have been riding for 65yrs and counting and wouldn't have it any other way.

He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair
He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
A picture of a heart saying "Mother, I love you"
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
He loved that doggone motorcycle best
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave
She said "I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve"
But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost
In the rumble of an engine and the smoke from his exhaust
Then he took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes!! He
Said "I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise." But he hit a screamin' diesel
That was California-bound"
And when they cleared the wreckage, all they found
Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
But they couldn't find the 'cicle that took off like a gun
And they never found the terror of High way 1 oh 1
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair
He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
A picture of a heart saying "Mother, I love you"
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
He loved that doggone motorcycle best
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101

2023-04-08
50s man. Dog gone!
2023-04-07
Who was the original of this song? I thought it was a country dong
2023-04-06
fine song also look at my version Aloha from Hawaii
2023-04-06
One of my favorite groups - The Diamonds. Unfortunately this version of this great song was affected by Dick Jacobs Dirgy arrangement.
2023-04-05
Like this version better than Vaughn Monroe.

C'est un des rares cas ou la version française colle presque mot pour mot au texte anglais. Même la fille s'appelle Marie-Lou, etc. Seule différence : chez Piaf, le type est écrasé par un train, alors qu'en Amérique il est écrasé par un camion.
2023-04-04
E. Piaf en a signé une version inapprochable et définitive. Elle permis à cette chanson de dépasser le strict cadre américain, mélangeant ici la country et le rock, afin de devenir un succès touchant un plus large public. Quant à l'interprète PIAF, elle est cent coudées au dessus de celle de ce groupe propret.
2023-04-03
enjoy the french version by Edith Piaf as well :
2023-04-03
Oh, I hope James Durbin sings this song on Wednesday night. It would be very cooool!
2023-04-03

2023-04-03

2023-04-03
Another classic by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller!

The Beatles stayed close to Buddy Holly's version. The Diamonds' version here is MUCH different!
