This a treat - never heard it before. Darling Can't You Tell is my favorite uptempo group harmony song - great double lead, amazing bass, that flute, great arranging. I thought they were black, too; Arlene Smith of The Chantels was dubbed on after the session by producer George Goldner; the group never knew till they heard the song on the radio. (It was a decent sized NYC hit.) I knew this song exiasted, but never heard it till now. Thanks for posting it!
Charlie Scardina (top left) is my father. He passed away in 1999. He didn't like to talk about this time in his life as he; like many musicians of this time; was bogged down by personal demons. I was given a first pressing of "Pardon my Heart" today and have been learning so much about my dad that I never knew about him. Thank you for posting this song. C. Scardina
@WWIIAce9 I knew yur father very well he was a great guy when they came out with their first record we so excited it was the high light of our teen age years someone that we knew made a hit record..I went to see them at the Paramont with a group of girls we sat in the third row ..When I grad.from school I went to work on wall street and seen your father again in the sandwich place that he opened on Broadway...He lives on because of Joe from the clusters .
thanks for posting the pic, i though the clusters were a black group and i though the had a female vocalist. this was because of the song Darling Cant You Tell.
