Just beautiful!!!!!

Really?! Wow, now that's a trivia I had no knowledge about. Thanks for the clarity. I do know the Otis Williams of the Temptations started a few groups before becoming the landmark Temps as we know them today - Otis WIlliams & The Distants, The Elgins (After the wrist watch), and the Siberians. Glad they settled on the Temptations. Now I know there were really two Otis Williamses in the music "doo wop" industry. Again, PJ, thanks for coming through.

[grapesfirst90]

Wonderful! Eldridge "Al" Bryant must be on lead; one of the original members (sans Paul Williams and Eddie Hendricks) way bf they were called The Temptations. With that said, Otis & His Charms did their stuff then and continue to do it today - Spellbinding tight harmony! Thanks again, PJ. Always!

@grapesfirst90 - You may have read that there was a connection (a lot of people think there was) but there's actually no relation to the Temptations here. The Otis Williams singing lead here is a different man with the same name. He's a hell of a nice guy too.. I met him at a show he and The Charms appeared at about 10 years ago.

Beautiful!! So many from this group that I'm still discovering!! I bought one of their 78's the other day, still waiting for delivery..

[PJDooWop]

@CrisVangel1958 - They were a fantastic group..lots of great records

[MrRoger6868]

WOW. Great production. Never heard a 78 this clear.

[PJDooWop]

@MrRoger6868 - I was impressed with the sound as well, although it has a little bit of shellac hiss. One of the cleanest sounding 78's I've ever heard is the Five Crowns 78 I posted last night

[13loomisst]

Good tune. Otis in good voice. The arrangement sounds a bit like the Platters. Apparently released in April of '57. How many songs did Henry Glover write?

[PJDooWop]

@13loomisst - Henry Glover was like Luther Dixon.. He wrote hundreds of song

[Nickie0016]

This is a WOW!!!

[PJDooWop]

@Nickie0016 - thank you

[Westtoledoguy]

[PJDooWop]

@Westtoledoguy - I couldn't agree more

[cbfall]

Very amazing song!! Excellent harmonies!!!

[PJDooWop]

@cbfall - If you want to hear great harmony check out their song "That's Your Mistake." I think it's credited to Otis Williams and His New Group

[cbfall]

@PJDooWop OK! I'll check that out some time!! :)
