I agree. This song was on an album my older brother owns. My sister and brother had heard this song played on the radio. I always wanted to know what they were singing. Thanks!
thank you so much for posting this my father was on this track Tom Luff this brought the biggest smile to my face he passed about 6 years ago but thanks to true music fans his legacy lives on.
God how I wish I could go to these dances that some of these posts mention. Alas doo wop just ain't well known in the u.k. I'm glad in a way, keeps it exclusive and kinda special. I have just bought an atco 45 of this after first hearing it on YouTube. Absolutely stunning 2 sider!
Perhaps, my favorite Doo Wop/R&B song.....I recorded it with my group Frankie & the Fashions and also The Emeralds.....recently did a version doing all the parts/voices. I love this song and there is nothing as good as the original, I must admit.
I used to hit the old Sumney West up until about 15 years ago till the cops started prowling for partiers, but they didn't have that back then unless I was too intoxicated to remember.
what can i say, the greatest music of all time, the groups that made this music sang from their hearts. they gave us something to remember their generation from. wonderful!!!
You wonder how a song like this didn't sell a million copies. Thanks for posting it. As PhillySouth said, this one has remained popular among oldies aficionados in Philly.
Absolutely one of the very best songs ever recorded!It is almost the perfect record!Too bad this group never received the acclaim they deserved nationally.
I don't know how you could make a better recording than this, in any era, using any combination of instuments, singers or echo. My vote for the greatest 45 of all time!
This one has never gone out of style in any decade or year since it was new here in Philadelphia, as far as whenever or wherever oldies are featured on the air and at dances featuring R&B, doo-wop and Old Soul.
This one's for you Ruth wherever you are.

You wonder sometimes, why these kind of friends show back up in your life after being gone for so many years, then they return! (50 years later)
they say there is a reason behind everything in our life that happens, but we don't have the answer!
