The Kalin Twins - When (1959) 

...I was just 12 !!!! And ? I began to have my breakfast with Sixties !!! That was the beginning of the best time in our life !!!!

My mom just passed away this weekend, and we found her love letters to my dad where she refers to this song as her favorite when she was 17 years old 🥰… we played it while she was laying in her hospice bed in her final days. I’m sure she’s dancing with dad in heaven once again! Thank you Kalin Twins for the fun music ❤️ (Rest in peace)

"WHEN" - This was it at age 16 - I finally could drive, put all the windows down, turn up the radio, and cruise the avenues - what a great time to grow up!

I was born in 1954 and I don’t recall ever hearing this song. Better late than never.. I like it.

A great song then and still a great song now. I was 15 when it came out and I'm 80 now. Quality music lasts!

My mum loved this song and sadly she just passed away so rest in peace mum ❤️

I was born in 1959 (4 Jully) and my father used to sing me this wonderful song! For all who listen this song, my friends stay happy, in good health and blessed! Lily from România! ❤🙏🇹🇩

For all the folk who haven't heard it before or for those he didn't turn it over, the "B" side Three O'clock thrill is every bit as good. So good in fact Roger Scott one of the UK's best DJ's used it to introduce his Capitol radio show at three o'clock in the afternoon, wonderful record, wonderful DJ.

Never heard of this song or these twins. Wow, they're great!

Ever have a song that you couldn't stand? This was one of them for me. I was four years old when this song came out, dad used to say when it came on the radio I would say "ewwww not again" LOL!

1959 was a good year, believe me

I never heard of these guys. I was born in 67 but I grew up hearing a lot of 50s music

I wouldn't be born for another 3 years after this came out and don't recall ever hearing it, but appreciate it now.

It's 2023. I'll be 29 on October, and this song is one of the best songs I heard in my entire life!

Wonderful born in 1950 So glad to hear this to add to loved hits

Fabulous song I love Thr Kalin Twins x

I was an identical twin myself and can relate to their perfect synchronization. Brings back memories.

Je me souviens parfaitement de cette chanson, j’avais une dizaine d’années. Pour moi, cette chanson que j’entendais quelques fois à la radio, c’était le bonheur et la joie qui entraient à la maison.

I was in a bar about 15 years ago when I heard two guys naming old songs and who sang them. They seemed to be in a contest of who could name the oldest song to win. I mentioned this song of "When" by the Kalin Twins and neither of them had heard of it or the singers. I moved to this country when I was 8 years old and 4 years later, this song came out and it will always remind me of that scene at the bar.

This song is quite good it's lively it's not boring to listen to

i remember this so well...I was just about to go into JR. High....and in love with every girl who smiled at me

I fell in love with this song as a teenager in the '80s. I always thought my friend's music was stupid and my dad's music was cool.

1957, 1958, 1959, 1960 - those were GREAT times.

Great song, good to dance to as we did back when dancing among kids was popular……lol. I was 12 then now I’m 77 and haven’t heard this in a while.

The Kalin Twins were from Port Jervis, New York.....I got this record from Uncle Rusty from his juke box at his bar....in The Bronx, NY.....its a prized 45 of mine......rest in peace Joe "Rusty" Carroll..

Born in 1953 and I remember this song too. As a child I had a transistor radio and walked around listening to music like that.

The goodones old song for people has real love.

I would have been in kindergarten back then. Such good music in those days!

I wasn't born in this era but the vibes of this song feels that it's the golden years of good old times ... Love it 😊

Whoa! Takes me back to ‘59 and my first teenage crush-great tune!

Lest we forget, this classic was written by the great Paul Evans.

Born in 1954.... five years old and still can remember this tune

I'd only heard the 1970s cover version by Showaddywaddy. That was good as a cover. This original is excellent.

Purée, c'étaient des vrais jumeaux, pas de doute !.......................

Actually it was 1958 as this was the number 1 song when I was born.

AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC ‼️👌😘👍👍👍

Love this oldie - it just popped into my head this am. Haven't heard it on radio for many decades. Ahhh - "memories; we will enjoy them."

I was born fall of 1959😉🎉 I have very early memories, my parents kept music in the house along with laughter 💕 I remember this song being played when I was young and dad dancing around my mom singing to her in the kitchen 💜🎉

I've never heard this song or the Kalin Twins before. I like them. They are no Everly Brothers, but they still have great appeal.

My grandmother went to school with these fellows over in Port Jervis, New York. We might even have the yearbook photos

I heard this song on the radio today and it brought back so many memories, I couldn't remember who sang it, I was 14 then. It finally came to me this evening, can't believe I remembered because I can't remember what I did yesterday!!! Loved this song!!!

Fantastic what else needs to be said fantastic regards Mike Sol’s 74 and still appreciate music like this I hope all find the truth someday soon

One of the best songs in history

1959 may have been when this appearance was but this is a very iconic song from my trip to Illinois in summer of '58, when I was 11.

This takes me straight back to my youth, this was massive and for ever on the radio.

La présentatrice c'est Jacqueline Joubert. C'est amusant qu'elle dise " vous allez voir c'est très curieux." Ça devait bousculer les habitudes de l'époque. Les kalin Twins ne sont ni auteurs ni compositeurs mais juste interprétes de cette chanson qui a été leur principal succès.

i remember this song being played at the fairground on the waltzer in 1959 i was just 12 at the time it brings back memories of that time true singing and instrumental backing mmmmmmmmmmm

I vas 9 years old , then this music come out . I love it a lot t,he melodi 😍

I saw them in New York years ago. They signed my copy of “ when”. Great guys. RIP Herbie and Hal

Great 50s song. Reminds me of The Everly Brothers a bit

I'd forgotten all about this song from my teenage days, so it was great to find it on here.

The year I was born. Thank god

Number one July 1958 when I joined the Navy.

Without doubt this is the biggest success of Kalin Twins , mainly for the music(melody).

Desde que descubri en esta página musical esta maravilla de video musical,me encanta y la pongo cada dia ,es fantástico

I randomly stumbled across this. I like it already

I've always loved this song!

Fun song. Great energy.

Love love this old stuff !!!!

I love the kalin twins? This song When.. im Chile ❤😢

First time I've ever heard this sung. Love it!!

Catchy tune. 12 years old. Didn't know they were twins.

I hadn't heard this since back then. Thankyou

This is Eddie zigbaum I like the Kalinin twins it brings back the good memories

Born in 1950...i remember this song!!

I was 12 when this came out and I like it and have on my Spotify favorites

Esta cancion fue muy tocada en las radios Chilenas en la decada del 60.Un Boon.

The synchronicity between the Twins during the singing and physical motions is amazing!

This is almost the best song I never did like!

JAKIE TO ŚILICZNE JAK TYCH STARYCH KAWAŁKÓW SIĘ SŁUCHA. NAJLEPIEJ.

Absolutely fantastic! I’ve never heard this song, never seen these two. Those snapping moves give me chills, I have to say. Beyond groovy to a profound rhythmic expression. At first it seemed kind of silly and dated but, no, it’s more. Can’t wait to hear more. Cheers Kalin Twins!!

descanse en paz papito siempre llevaré tú buen gusto musical hasta que vaya a juntarme contigo ❤

wow...this song is so catchy...i never heard it tiill this video...love the sax and singers in the background...i wann learn it on piano....thanks for posting it

I really appreciate good vocal harmony. I sing baritone on a church worship team. I am a beginner and must learn harmony, I can't always dub the higher voices!

We had a few 78s when I was a youngster, this was one of them. Loved it.

Kalin Twins Les Kalin Twins sont un duo américain composé des frères jumeaux Hal et Herbie Kalin (nés le 16 février 1934 à Port Jervis). Biographie Le duo est découvert par Clint Ballard Jr., auteur de nombreux succès comme Good Timin' pour Jimmy Jones ou I'm Alive pour The Hollies. Les premières chansons n'ont pas de succès. Mais, en 1958, après plein de démos, le management retient When, écrit par Paul Evans (en) et Jack Reardon. La chanson est numéro un du UK Singles Chart, numéro cinq aux États-Unis. Pour la tournée au Royaume-Uni, ils sont la première partie de Cliff Richard. Le deuxième single, Forget Me Not, est douzième en 1958 aux États-Unis. Deux titres sont moins bien classés en 1959. N'ayant plus de succès, les frères jumeaux arrêtent leur carrière musicale et reprennent leurs études. En 1977, ils remontent sur la scène d'un night-club puis parfois avec leur frère cadet Jack, sous le nom de Kalin Brothers. Ils reviennent encore en 1989. Cliff Richard les invite lors du concert The Event au stade de Wembley ; on rediffuse alors un extrait de l'épisode de la série Oh Boy. Harold "Hal" Kalin meurt le 24 août 2005 des suites des blessures lors d'un accident de voiture et Herbert "Herbie" Kalin meurt le 21 juillet 2006 d'un arrêt cardiaque.

What a joy this video is! Thanks for posting 😁

As good as rock gets, sounds as great today as it did when I was 14. Thanks posting this aural gem!

! was 20 when I heard this, a great "song of the time" and in Brighton (England) every lad who had a guitar was trying to be a Kalin twin.

Pure class-my Gran who is 86 introduced me to this beauty-amazing song/harmonies-get in there boys-timeless❤️

2 of the best.

This makes me smile great song

I haven't heard this one❤!!

Spent my summers at the Connecticut shore as a kid and the mile long beach in New London used to to play music through speakers on the boardwalk. So music like When, Little Darlin', There's a Moon Out Tonite, Silohettes, Tonite, Tonite.... that whole genre, came to be know as "Beach Music" to me. Why? because we were on the Long Island sound and picked up NY radio stations like 10-10 WINS and WABC.... who played the best doo-wop in the years when they weren't oldies!!!

Das war noch Musik❤❤❤

I remember this. I was nine then.

About to Hit 41 next Month, always Liked to listen to these tunes when me and Dad Drove around in the 71 Cutty Convertible. RIP Dad!

Saw their lounge act in the late 70's in Laurel, Md. Great show. Still remember it well.

LOVE IT. much better than the Showaddywaddy version. the sad thing is people think it's Showaddys song and it's not, it's a cover version of the Kalin Twins song.

When, when you smile, when you smile at me Well, well I know our love will always be When, when you kiss, when you kiss me right I, I don't want to ever say good night I need you I want you near me I love you Yes, I do and I hope you hear me When, when I say, when I say "Be mine" If, if you will I know all will be fine When will you be mine? When, when you smile, when you smile at me Well, well I know our love will always be When, when you kiss, when you kiss me right I, I don't want to ever say good night I need you I want you near me I love you Yes, I do and I hope you hear me When, when I say, when I say "Be mine" If, if you will I know all will be fine When will you be mine? When will you be mine?

One of my all time favorites!!!!!!

Awww, they are as cute as two bugs❤❤

I love songs from ASCAP publisher members, such as the Leeds Music Corporation.

I was 5 with teen brothers and I grew up on this music. Loved it all, and these guys were my favorite..

Epilepie but happy...best moves ever!

Great song! A staple on the 50's channel on Sirius satellite radio. Nice to see it performed by the artists! Thanks.

Sounds better than back in the day!

Nice rendition

Ik was acht. Het was mijn eerste kennismaking met rockabilly music.

Whenever I make a Swinging Sixties tape, I almost never forget to include this joint!
