PJ I forgot to mention that your falsetto guy is excellent. What's his name and where is he in the pic? He is probably even or slightly better than D' Aleo is now. And that is saying a lot. Randy
"THE CLOSER YOU ARE" IS CERTAINLY ON THE RADAR; HOPEFULLY SOON. I DO BEG TO DIFFER REGARDING VERSION AS I TOOK MORE OF THE FALSETTO FROM EARL LEWIS. WHAT YOU DID NOT HEAR WAS THE FALSETTO LEAD IN LIKE EARL LEWIS, WHICH WAS REMOVED. IN ADDITION, THE BASS IN THE BACKGOUND & THE HARMONY AND TEMPO LENDS MORE TO THE CHANNELS. YOU SURPRISED ME, PJ, BUT YOU DID A GREAT JOB. NEXT TAKE WILL BE EVEN BETTER, THANKS. FRANKIE C.
@cynthia6637. Actually most of the guys who stood around singing harmony, was because they could not afford musical instruments. Think that goes back to the Mills Brothers. My husband sang in a group and that was his story.
If Eddie is the same one singing falsetto and lead voice ... his falsetto is terrific, his lead voice flat!

YES I AGREE , THE CHANNELS ARE STILL FANTASTIC!!
BUT JUST THE MEMORY OF "MY FRIENDS" THAT JUST DID THE HARMONY BACK IN THE 60'S JUST DID IT FOR FUN , MORE OR LESS!!
THEY WERE ALSO VERY GOOD!!
JUST A MEMORY FLASHED THRU MY MINE OF WHAT WE DID BACK IN THE EARLY 60'S!!

Great PJ Done more in the Belmonts style. Top notch

I think where people get confused is the Belmonts version has no bass, but otherwise it's definitely closer to The Belmonts

Great sounds. It's a shame that Horner not doing a radio show anymore. On the Time Capsule show when they mentioned other shows they mentioned him.

Charlie and his wife Pam are both still very, very active. He may not have a radio show but his influence has expanded in other ways

THE CHANNELS WERE ALL THAT WITH THEIR SONGS!! LOVE THIS SONG, THEY WERE ON THE PBS SHOW A FEW YEARS AGO!
THEY ARE STILL TODAY A GREAT GROUP!
THE HARMONY IS FANTASTIC!
SO WAS THE CREST, BUT THERE WAS ALOT OF HARMONY EVERYWHERE BACK THEM!
ALOT OF GUYS WOULD JUST STAND AROUND ON THE STREET CORNER AND SING HARMONY SONGS IN THE EARLY 60'S!!
GREAT MEMORIES
