I was on the video crew at UGHA. That camera position in the opening is my shot. What a privelege to tape that. I got to know him quite well. Great guy. RIP
RIP Sollie. This is very close to that original sound, but my personal favorite was of Sollie singing lead on "Would I Be Crying"......BTW...lol..My Uncle is Johnnie Carter, an origianl organizer and member of the Flamingos, and he actually wrote this song...lol....I'll play if for him when I see him this week.
I Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sollie : )

Golden Teardrops is my all time fav song and the Flamingos are one of my fav groups
sollie left the Flamingos in late 1954 to join the Morrocos and was replaced by Nate Nelson-Would I Be Crying-came out in 1956

Golden voice with "Golden teardrops". Sollie McEllroy in that early class of R&B which is timeless. Great post!
