R.I.P. HARVEY FUQUA, JULY 27, 1929 - JULY 6, 2010. HARVEY GAVE ME MY FIRST JOB IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AS HIS SECRETARY. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND BLESSING US WITH YOUR MUSIC HARVEY. YOU WILL BE MISSED

[WHP2005]

Talent all around us I didn't know much about the full history of the Moonglows, Harvery Fuqua will be missed. If somone can confirm was Marvin Gaye in this group? Mainly my prayers are with his loveones.

[amd77j]

@WHP2005 Marvin played the organ for them. You can hear their influence in his music in songs like "Distant Lover", the background vocals and sax playing in "Come Get to This", and the classic "Baby, I'm Real", which was recorded by The Originals and penned by Marvin and I believe his wife, Anna. And may Harvey R.I.P.

[WHP2005]

@amd77j Thank You! by getting back with the history of Marvin, Harvery and the Group. Check out our Channel and will send over a link Thanks.

[werewolfmanjackal]

Let us keep Harvey Fuqua in your thoughts and wishes as he is now on life support. Let us wish him and his family a speedy recovery and make it eyond this setback.

[CheckMate657879]

Reminds me of the Ink Spots.

[vespa202]

Wonderful :)

[ILoveLugoff]

The man could sing. I remember him from the Doo Wop show. LOVE THIS. HIS SONG AND VOICE SPEAK FOR ALL. He will always be remembered.

[mhomer4]

Harvey Fuqua is now Smokey Robinson's manager. They are from Louisville, KY.

[srercrcr]

What is this, revisionist history? Smokey hails from DETROIT. Duh!

[vrjmp]

i believe harvey is from louisville, ky.went up to cleveland early 1950`s. true pioneer of doo wop-you could tell he listened to the ink spots. jimp

[kennbix]

He was born in 1927 in Louisville Kentucky

[ozrock17]

Did you know... Australia is the only place in the world where this song reached the Top 40? It reached #12 on the Sydney 2SM Top 40 and #20 in Melbourne in mid-1959. I think it reached the lower reachers of the Top 100 in America, but gotta love the Aussies for putting so many "nobody's" in the Top 40. On the top of my head; Crash Craddock (Boom Boom Baby #1, Well Don't You Know #2, One Last Kiss #1 etc.), Oliver Cool (Oliver Cool #10), Russ Aladdin (Annie Adorable #13)...the list gos on, PEACE

[callofdutymasta]

hes got my last nam e!!! lol

[doowopil]

Very good song. Like the dance..

[doowopaintdead]

Harvey's the man, the innovator and father of "blow harmony" Long live the king.

[dovermoreno]

I like Harvey's smooth moves and the way his suit hangs on his tall frame.

I just like this video....period !

5 Starz and thanks for posting. I've never heard this song before.

[magixs2000]

Yes, what a wonderful voice !! Classic! And he is still alive, singing and recording today. I had the honor to record and produce 4 songs with Harvey Fuqua about 2 years ago. They are not released yet and Harvey is planing to record a full album in the near future. Let's all hope he will be able to finish his new album and let's support him with our love and appreciation!

[thwill1284]

I like his voice plus he discovered marvin gaye much respect to harvey fuqua.

[DionsDoll]

this is from the movie go johnny go!

[CrisVangel]

Nice track, man. I like it!

[Alia196]

that guy is my family

that's my last name

fuqua

[DoctorDoubleX]

i really like his voice in "if i cant have you" with etta james

[ozrock17]

Vantalge, the day they make a CD with this on it i'll fly to where ever they're selling it! So in one word, no. It can be hunted down on a few things though, the originaly 45 - (in America) Chess-1725, (in England) Columbia-DB4572, (in Australia) London HL-2568. It can be found on his original LP released in 1959, "Harvey without The Moonglows" on the according labels to the country... and

[nyimtman]

In one word EXCELLENT!

[roydammercer1]

yes

[soulmusic247]

Harvey Fuqua is also The newphew of Charlie Fuqua of the Ink Spots.

[roydammercer1]

i think this the alan freed movie " Go, Johnny,Go that chuck berry song

[mackitedragon]

That,s exactly what movie it is, and that's Jimmie Clanton at the back door as an usher.

[RAINBOWSIXLEGEND360]

I LOVE THIS SONG..

[Djarnes]

I saw Harvey at the Las Vegas Doo-Wop convention 11/17/07. He still has "it". He exudes charisma on the stage. He current Moonglows group is great as well with Johnny Keyes of the Magnificents. Harvey is a very engaging likeable man who is truly an icon.

[Jeepster46]

A true professional at work.

[chess1458]

Released on Chess1725 i think this is one of the greatest songs Harvey ever did,Never heard it till i seen Go Johnny Go

[MotownMaster]

Kudos for posting this, Harvey Fuqua is my idol i have all the singles on his Harvey label and most of the ones from his Tri-Phi label, Harvey is the man!!!!!!!!!!!! a true Genius, if it wasnt for Harvey there'd be no Marvin Gaye, no Spinners or Jr Walker & The Allstars, or Shorty Long and Ann Bogan

[tlharris]

And no New Birth

[THEGREATMIAH777]

Did he have a relative in the NFL?

[mackitedragon]

No, but you're referring to Frenchy Fuqua, of the Terry Bradshaw era Steelers.

[THEGREATMIAH777]
