@dal4018 Vocal groups had real talent back then. As I understand it, "Jump Children" was The Flamingos show opening number. No wonder other groups didn't want to follow them on stage!
Original Rock and Roll is preserved forever. This is my very favorite video. And, The Flamingos were absolutely great! This beats all the canned "son et luminere" sound and light shows that pass for music today.
The Flamingo's are widely considered the greatest group of the doo wop era; they could sing and harmonize, could dance as seen here, and looked great as a group. Their "I Only Have Eye's for You" has stood as one of the greatest songs in the history of popular music.
In my honest opnion, Flamingos, and Drifters from late 50's are in top five of all time. Doo-Wop, the greatest sounding music to one's ear. (Hey, above can also sing r & r)
WOW!!!

That is the great Tommy Hunt (Human) dancing in the second stanza. Didn't know that Tommy could dance like that. They had real talent in those days.
