  • Muito Loko!!!!

  • Great sound from Choice.

    I have a tape of a radio show from around 1989.

    The group was announced as Choice.

    Can't remember the title of the song, but it was great.

    I'll have to dig it out and post another comment.

    Were you together back then?

    Oh, I vaguely remember, it's a tribute about a DJ playing the good old songs. Was that you guys?

  • SOOOO FINE.....SOOOO SWEET.....EXCELLENT VOCAL GROUP! JUST LIKE THE 50's.

  • Man that was nice!!!

  • Awesome! The sweet sound of true harmony is so rare these days. You guys sound great! Would love to see you live. Trust, a ticket to your concert is much more valuable than a ticket to hear some of the mess they are recording on major labels today. Keep up the great work. *Heading over to myspace to check you out*

  • If you want to see us live, feel free to check out our myspace page under /choicebadboys. We got a few interesting things coming up in the very near future. Including a gig for the Sons of Italy in Teaneck, NJ June 5. Tell all your friends! We're also working on our website, choicejerseycity Yes it's a dotcom work in progress. Bear with us!

  • Great Job... keep the memories alive. It's great to see that doo wop survives through guys like you who do not need all the gimmicks to make great sounds. Keep it up!

  • Many thanks. True, it's just our natural voices. No vocal enhancements. No "press play" gimmicks.

    In appreciation,

    E-Z from CHOICE

  • Thanks to all who have been saying nice things about our work. As we have stated, this was for a documentary that aired in Japan on the Fuji Television Network. We had a great time doing it, with our friend and mentor, Ronnie I. of Clifton Music and UGHA fame behind us. The Japanese TV crew was extremely professional and great to work with!

    We have been busy in other projects, and still perform our acappella. We have a page on myspace under choicebadboys.

  • Choice has a web page on myspace using the name choicebadboys. Check 'em out, their bio, achievements, and hear excerpts of some of their recordings.

  • are they in Clifton, NJ?

  • Choice is from Jersey City. The label they have recorded for is Clifton Records, based in Clifton, NJ, where the famous Ronnie Italiano "Ronnie I." has run his business for almost 40 years.

  • lol did they just do that on the street and someone video taped them or somethin?

  • Hi this is Christine Vitale from The Group Harmony Alley. I work with Choice. This was filmed for a Japanese television documentary on R&B vocal group harmony. So, no, it wasn't that they were just singing and someone taped it. A whole Japanese speaking video crew was there for the occasion.

  • Hello JCBB your webpage on myspace is very nice.

  • By the way, all, this is EZ from Choice, again. We do have a myspace page you can check it out. Our handle is choicebadboys. Once again, peace. Hope to see you at a future Choice event!

  • True Boot Harmony-Great Job

    How about something from the Jesters or Spaniels or Paragons?

  • Thank you. We do Spaniels...several of them...and a whole lot more. No Jesters or Paragons though. Sorry. :-)

  • this is great keep it up we need more groups like this!!!! Outstanding you guys are Great!!!!!

  • Thank you. Choice appreciates the kind commentary!!

  • Thank you...Choice thanks you. It's really nice to see all the nice remarks and emails we've been getting based on this one piece of work, that we only found out by chance, was posted to this site. Nice!

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • Thanks, from Choice.

  • Amazing Harmony!!!! just amazing, and I'm so glad to hear hit now. Marc.

  • Hello JCBB, waiting for another video. It's been a year now. How do you guys advertise your shows, you are very talented. The kind of talent that comes from within yourselves, and i'm sure that you are the ones who brought it to surface through a lot of practice and dedication to your group. Have you ever thought about branching out and trying something different. You should give it some thought.May God bless you to reach your highest goals.

  • My absolute favorite acappella group -- just as tight and authentically representing a true streetcorner R&B sound today as they were at the time of this documentary made for Japanese TV. They have some releases on Clifton Records. They're on some compilations, a live CD, one Christmas CD and one (1) 21-track CD, and at least one 45rpm, which is now, like a collector's item. Additionally, they are featured on many videos, and some newly issued UGHA DVD's which you can get at Clifton Music.

  • THESE GUYS ARE FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

  • Hey EZ I've been to Lead east every Labor Day for many years and somehow missed out on Choice. I heard many, many groups.you fellas hit that harmony with the best. I'am calling Ronnie I to get your CD's. God bless Danny G Gary Indiana home of The Spaniels!!

  • These guys are great. They sound like another

    accapella group from Jersey City called The

    Royal Counts (They did 'Chain of Broken Hearts') but the Royal Counts were doing it

    in the mid to late 60's which was the golden age of accapella doo wop in NYC

  • Where and when do you perform? would love to see you guys. When will you post another video? Soon I hope. Again Looove this video.

  • Hi, I am a follower of Choice. They're gonna be performing at the historic Loews Theatre, 54 Journal Square, in Jersey City, NJ -- across from the Path Station...this Saturday, December 1st. Showtime 7:45pm. If you're interested, the Loew's Box office number is 201-963-0408.

  • It IS a studio recording.....

  • wow.. it sounds like a studio recording.. ! it's wonderful....... :)

  • Great sound guys!! Thanks for posting this. Check us out on myspace. We also do soulful a'capella, Doo Wop style music and we're from Brooklyn, NY. myspace. com/NuMillenniumOnline

  • again...I am in heaven!!!!

  • Wow. Heaven. Now, that's a compliment! Thanks for liking my acappella group, Choice, from Jersey City, NJ. Would be nice to get another Japanese TV documentary...hey, if you like my group, you can often hear us on The Group Harmony Alley, on 89.1/FM-WFDU. It streams live on the web also. I'm sure if you search the call letters, WFDU the site will be one of your results!

    Regards, "E-Z" Choice (I'm the one in the white pants)

  • It's Jersey City's Bad Boys of Acappella...CHOICE!! Definitely one of the most versatile and talented acappella groups. They can switch up their parts, and they understand acappella arrangements better than many. Take it from me, I've worked with and observed many groups!! I absolutely love 'em.

    Regards, "E-Z"

  • Fantastic!! Choice is the best acappella group from the recent times!! I love all their stuff on the Clifton label!!
