Absolutely brilliant. Here's a group of guys in their 60s and 70s performing a number they first recorded in the 50s and actually improving on it. Pookie, God rest his soul, is on top form and Dexter on bass vocals could have been the inspiration for the record Mr. Bass Man by Johnny Cymbal, he's absolutely outstanding. A brilliant sound, stands up in it's own right with any musical genre.
What has happened? A lot of the doo wop videos are gone . . . and this one is way out of sync.

A colorful story behind an amazing song.
At 3:06, how smooth is that! You can easily spot talent on how effortless they do it.
Today, a lot of artists rely on autotune and songs are all about vanity. It's really dumb.
