Hi, Rick! I'm a music administrator for a 50s/60s alumni website. As such, I post a ton of music from that era and my personal favorite is doo wop. Thank you for introducing me to the Elites on YouTube. They have an extraordinary sound!
Can you fill me in on when the remnants of the two older groups joined to form the Elites? Also, when did they begin recording?
No, Desi, it is from The Early Years Vol. 2 by the Crystalairs, but 5 songs on there are by the Elites, including this one. The Elites are Ralf of Crystalairs (on lead here), Steve Webb of Roomates, Frankie B (now with Crystalairs, but not when this was done), Jens of Crystalairs, and sometimes others.
The others being Patrick Albrecht and Denise Grevesmuehl .
I never got the covers for that cd,I do hear Steve in the background.Don't hear Frank on here,that's why he didn;t send it to me with the other Elites songs in 2000 I guess.
Frank is on this, too, just not doing his separate bass. Frank wrote this one. I think Claus may have been on a couple of the Elite recordings, too, but don't know which ones.
Written by Frankie B.!
