Never realised Tom Hanks senior was a part of the "Diamonds" and age certainly has not been injust to him, Tom Hank's Dad: Love this one! Takes us way back to the "good old days!" Tom Hank's father is better looking than Tom and even better looking with age. He was the lead singer on the left. He still has it! Hope you enjoy. 2 Performances 47 years apart 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. www.flixxy.com/the-diamonds-little-darlin-1957-2004..htm

The Diamonds were a Canadian vocal quartet of the 1950s and early 1960s who rose to prominence performing mostly cover versions of songs by black musicians. The original members were Dave Somerville (lead), Ted Kowalski (tenor), Phil Levitt (baritone), and Bill Reed (bass). Doo-wop is a style of vocal-based rhythm and blues music, which developed in African-American communities in the 1940s and which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1950s and early 1960. With its smooth, consonant vocal harmonies, doo-wop was one of the most mainstream, pop-oriented R&B styles of the 1950s and 1960s. Tom Hanks snr ?

Turns out this is an urban legend, it's not Tom Hanks's dad at all, just looks like him (somewhat)
