Tom Hanks Dad


This is absolutely wonderful.  Watch both videos.....I smiled throughout both of them.  He is the tall one on the far left.  Better looking as an older man I think, but looks a lot like Tom as a younger man.

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,
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, 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.
Tom Hanks father is much better looking than Tom, and even better looking with age. In the linked videos Tom Hank's father is the lead singer on the left. He still has it! Hope you enjoy.
47 years apart 2 Performances  --
He's the guy on the left with the high-pitched voice.

Hate to burst your bubble but Tom Hank's father was not a member of the Diamonds.

So how do you HEAR inaudible lyrics? I think you meant unintelligible lyrics (perhaps you couldn't spell unintelligible)? I think someone needs to use a dictionary to look up the meaning of big words before using them in a sentence. Just another semi literate teapublican spewing uninformed drivel.
