This is so great. I didn't know Tom Hanks’ father was the lead singer of the Diamonds!

THIS WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE :-)
About Tom Hanks Father:
If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will probably remember the group
"The Diamonds" who had just launched their super hit "Little Darlin'".
For you that are too young to remember - it was a time when the performers were happy, enjoying
themselves, respecting their fans, dressed appropriately, and their lyrics could be understood.
They did not feel obligated to scream, practically eat the microphone, mumble inaudible lyrics, or trash
the set.

In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin'". 47 years later, they were requested to perform at
Atlantic City.

This link leads to both performances.
Watch the first one, then the 'new' one 47 years later.

Though you can see a resemblance, Tom Hanks' father is better looking than Tom ... and even better
looking with age. In the linked videos, Tom Hanks' father is the lead singer on the left. He still has it!
Hope you enjoy.

47 years apart and the same performance, both identical. (if the direct link fails, copy and paste to your
