Thank you for the kind words and how you like this catchy tune and doo wop harmonies. Yes, the Biscayne was Chevy's poor cousin to the Impala. Nope, you wouldn't have heard this played much on top 40 radio as it was only played for a couple of three weeks in 1960. My gosh, better than Blue Moon!!
The Biscaynes, a make of Chevrolet back in the doowop era, anyway another sender calls 'em the Viscaynes (IT'S WRONG)...I saw the label you were showing and they are the Biscaynes. Anyway I've listened to this Yellow Moon for a 4th time & enjoyed 'em all. I never heard this recording back when when Jan & Dean and Frankie Avalon were being spun but I assure you that I really like this Yellow Moon...bettr than the Marcel's "Blue Moon"!!Yep. It's a love song that compares to Please Mr Sun.THX
This was big in the Bay Area. I always assumed it was a national hit. Now, let's slide the dial down to 1310...the Choice Voice of the Bay, home of Mr Don Barksdale and Rosko (E to the T) ...KDIA.
The Viscayens did also tracks called Heavenly Angel, yellow moon and Stop What you are doing. They are also doing the backing vocals for the track Jasper Woods - Hully Gully Papa
This track was recorded in 1961 and the group was indeed The Viscaynes. There are 2 version of the recording. One was recorded in the bayarea and the second version was doen at George Motola studio in LA. Its SLy doing the lead but the did something to his voice. Thats why he sounds is diff.
Whoa, too much. So was Sly Stone a member? Yes, the Viscaynes, how great of trivia. Hello Ria, how fun was it to sing on this record that is still appreciated all these years later?
Hello xyz, Yes, I am the Allycool from Ronn Owens Rock Trivia. How nice of you to recall and answer. Sorry for the late response, I just read these now. So which of the 12 were you?
Hi allycool, did you know that Sylvester Stewart (Sly Stone) was a member of this group? They were actually called The Viscaynes but there was a typographical error on the record. This is one of the recordings from the early part of Sly's extraordinary career, before he became a radio DJ and then founder of the Family Stone. It's a nice song, I like it. Not sure if Sylvester is doing the lead vocal, but it sure sounds like him...!
Thank you for the info on Sly and the Viscaynes. It doesn't sound like Sly as everyday people, but what a find if he is on this record. Sorry for the late reply, I haven't checked responses.
allycool62, thanks for another great classic doo wop 45 vinyl record that we haven't heard since '60. Strange as it may seem, I actually remember the Biscaynes. 5 Stars!
I should remember this jam: I lived in Walnut Creek back then. One of the Bay Area hits thatI don't remember .
