Formed in 1958, The Fiestas signed to Old Town Records in 1959 after the label's owner, Hy Weiss, overheard the group singing in a bathroom adjacent to his office in Harlem. Their debut single was 1959's "So Fine"; the tune was a hit in the U.S., hitting #3 on the Black Singles chart and #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. A series of soul singles followed from the group, among them "Last Night I Dreamed", "You Could Be My Girlfriend", "Anna", and "Think Smart", but only 1962's "Broken Heart" managed to chart, hitting #18 on the Black Singles chart.
Leaving Old Town, the group later recorded for Strand and Vigor, releasing music into the mid-1970s.

I don't know what to do
Playing it off like this isn't your game that I'm playing
I look into your eyes
I see into your heart
It says that you're not sure
But you wanted to know from the start if you could
Please take my hand and oh
Let us stare into each other's souls
With your Starry eyes
Oh love me please right now
Let me hold you tight and let's figure this out
Together
Stuck inside of my head
So much that people ask if I am dead
I'm just terrified
Until I
I look into your eyes
I see into your heart
It says that you're not sure
But you wanted to know from the start if you could
Please take my hand and oh
Let us stare into each other's souls
With your Starry eyes
Oh love me please right now
Let me hold you tight and let's figure this out
Together
I've been waiting so long for this moment
And it's finally arrived
So I
I look into your eyes
I see into your heart
It says that you're not sure
But you wanted to know from the start if you could
Please take my hand and oh
Let us stare into each other's souls
With your Starry eyes
Oh love me please right now
Let me hold you tight and let's figure this out
Together
The lyrics of The Fiestas' song "Eyes" depict a moment of vulnerability and uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The singer finds themselves in a situation where they are unsure about the other person's feelings and intentions. The opening line, "Seat for one shared by two, I don't know what to do," suggests a sense of confusion and hesitation. The singer is unsure of how to navigate this situation and is pretending that they are not emotionally invested in the game that is being played.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the eyes as a means of communication and understanding. The singer looks into the other person's eyes and interprets what they see as uncertainty but also a desire to know the truth. The plea for the other person to take their hand and stare into each other's souls signifies a desire for authenticity and deeper connection. The repetition of "Oh love me please right now, let me hold you tight and let's figure this out together" emphasizes the urgency and longing for resolution. The singer has been waiting for this moment for a long time and is finally ready to confront their fears and uncertainties.

So fine, so fine, so fine, yeah
My baby's so doggone fine
She loves me, come rain, come shine
Oh, oh yeah, so fine
She thrills me, she thrills me

Why did this type of music have to go? Heartfelt lyrics and damn, those harmonies!
80s vinyl fan
So true!
UncleMikeNJ
The music didn't go anywhere. The people did. Their loss, not the music's.
SharkOSix
its a mix of rock and roll and the blues it still exists although I do think the older generations did it better
Murdoch
@SharkOSix it’s how they mixed it. All music is derivative of other music I realize, but there was just something so pure about this era. No digital effects, no sampling, no autotune, just music.
