the diamonds - little darling
Peaked at # 2 in 1957
The Diamonds' all-time biggest hit, featuring lead singer Dave Somerville (with Bill Reed doing the
bass vocal narration). Technically, this could be considered one of the very first "rap" songs, since
it features hip narration over the middle break of the song. Cover version of the Gladiolas' 1957
Top 50 R&B hit. This pop version also made the Top 5 on the R&B charts.

the diamonds - kathy o
Kathy-O, Kathy-O,
How do your secrets grow?
Why do you do the things that you do?
Kathy-O, Kathy-O,
Why do you taunt me so?
I never know just what you will do.
As you dream by the window,
Bewitched by a star,
Are you angel or devil?
I wonder what you are.
Kathy-O, Kathy-O,
Strange little Kathy-O.
I'll always love you,
My Kathy-O.
-------Another Version
Kathy-O
The Diamonds
Kathy-O, Kathy-O
Why do the flowers grow
Kathy-O, Kathy
Only for you
Kathy-O, Kathy-O
Sunshine goes where you go
Smile for me Kathy
The sun will come through
As you sit by the window
Bewitched by a star
Are you really an angel
I wonder what you are
Kathy-O, Kathy-O
Just keep your dreams aglow
You'll always be
My sweet Kathy-O
the diamonds - love love love
Love! Love! Love! Love, love, love!
There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
Love, love, love: love. love, love
There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
And that's the only thing I'm thinkin' of
Love can make you happy when you're feelin' blue
If the one you love is in love with you
There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
Love, love, love: love. love, love
There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
And that's the only thing I'm thinkin' of
Love can pick you up (love can pick you up)
When you feel low-down (when you feel low- down)
Love can make you smile when you're wearin' a frown
I want it, I need it, fill my cup with lo-ove, lo-ove, lo-ove
Lo-ove, lo-ove, lo-ove: lo-ove, lo-ove, lo-ove
Let me drink till my head goes 'round and 'round with lo-ove, lo-ove, lo-ove
So come and be my, be my turtle dove
the diamonds - one summer night
One summer night, we fell in love
one summer night, I held you tight
you and I, under the moon of love, moon of love
One summer night, I kissed your lips
one summer night, I held you close
you and I, under the moon of love
You kissed me oh, so tenderly
and I knew this was love
and I as held you, oh so close
I knew no one could ever take your place, ohhhh
One summer night, we fell in love
one summer night, I held you tight
you and I, under the moon of love, moon of love.
the diamonds - silhouettes
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, hut-hut
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, hut-hut
Took a walk and passed your house (late last night)
All the shades were pulled and drawn (way down tight)
From within, a dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh, what a lovely couple they ma-ade
Put his arms around your waist (held you tight)
Kisses I could almost taste (in the night)
Wonder why I'm not the guy *whose silhouette's* on the shade
I couldn't hide the tears in my eye-eyes
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes)
ty-oh, oh-oh
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes),
ty-oh, oh-oh
Lost control and rang your bell (I was sore)
Let me in or else I'll beat (down your door)
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock "you're on the wrong blo-ock"
Rushed down to your house with wings (on my feet)
Loved you like I never loved (you my sweet)
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days, two silhouettes on the sha-ade
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes)
ty-oh, oh-oh
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes),
ty-oh, oh-oh
Two silhouettes on the shade
Silhouettes!
the diamonds - soft summer breeze
Soft summer breeze
Lazy old stream
Cotton clouds on high
Boy and girl in love
Hearts up to the sky
Whispering trees
Add to the theme
Gentle lullabye
Boy and girl in love
Christmas in July
Let folks talk about Romeo and Juliet
Kid stuff can't compare
To the day when they first met
All through the years they will recall
Moments sweet like these
How it all began with a
Soft summer breeze
the diamonds - walkin along
Walkin' along my merry way
Singin' a song I will be gay
I found a love and love is here to stay
Walking along just feeling glad
Singin' a song I won't be sad
Oh, happy day
I'm just walkin' along
When I'm walkin' feel just like a king
When I'm singin' don't care 'bout a thing
The reason I feel the way I do
You love me, whoo
I love you, who-ooh
Walkin' along my merry way
Singin' a song I will be gay
Oh, happy day
I'm just walkin' along
the diamonds - why do fools fall in love
Ooh-wah ooh-wah, ooh-wah ooh-wah,
Ooh-wah ooh-wah, why do fools fall in love
VERSE:
Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love
BRIDGE
Love is a losing game, love can be a shame
I know of a fool you see, for that fool is me
Tell my why, tell me why
REPEAT VERSE - THEN BRIDGE #2
BRIDGE #2
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat
For I know I will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell my why
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat
For I know it will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell me why
REPEAT first half Verse 1, then...
Why do they fall in love
Why...do fools...fall in love
