The Impalas were an American doo-wop group in the late 1950s, best known for their hit, "Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home)".
The group formed in 1958 in Brooklyn, New York, and was composed of lead singer Joe "Speedo" Frazier (September 5, 1943 – April 1, 2014), Richard Wagner, Lenny Renda and Tony Carlucci. They were a racially integrated group--Frazier was the only black member.
They recorded for Hamilton Records and were found by songwriters Artie Zwirn and Aristides "Gino" Giosasi, who wrote the song "Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home)". In 1959 disc jockey Alan Freed heard the group, added his name as a writer of the song and got them a deal with MGM Records subsidiary label Cub. The record reached #2 on the U.S. pop chart, #14 on the R&B chart and #28 in the UK Singles Chart. The song sold over one million copies, earning gold disc status.
The group recorded follow-ups including "Oh What A Fool," an album for Cub and one further single for the 20th Century label before disbanding in 1961. Frazier went on to sing with Love's Own in 1973, and in 1980 resurrected the Impalas as a touring act.
"I Ran (So Far Away)", also released as "I Ran", is a song by English new wave band A Flock of Seagulls. It was released in 1982 as the second single from their self-titled debut album. Since then, it has been their most successful single, reaching number nine in the United States and number one in Australia.
Three different versions of the song exist:
All the Way may refer to:
The Way Home may refer to:
"All the Way Home" is the third single by American recording artist Tamar Braxton from her second album Love and War (2013).
The music video was released on December 4, 2013 on 106 & Park. The video features her husband Vincent Herbert.
