Didn't realize he was Tom Hanks Father

JUST DON'T FORGET TO SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE 47 YRS LATER...IT'S GREAT

Tom Hank's Dad

This nothing but super-cool.  I hope you saw the concert on PBS recently.

INCREDIBLE. I DIDN'T KNOW TOM HANKS DAD WAS THE LEAD SINGER OF THE DIAMONDS WAY BACK IN 1957! THEY SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME AS THEY DID!

2 Performances 47 years apart

FYI, the lead singer of the Diamonds is also the father of TOM HANKS.

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, 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 scroll down for the new one 47 years later .
