[TRAINIAC19]

Fantastic, as always Herman Duncan, a real class act. This song parallels a slower melody, "For your precious love".

[PJDooWop]

Herman always has been one of my favorite lead singers. It will deeply upset me for the rest of my life that I didn't have an opportunity to meet him , or see him sing in person. I missed the Black Swan concert (his first performance with The Solitaires in many years) because I thought it was a week later than it was :(

[tonadel]

@devnay123 ......We thank your dad for his great music....I'm 65 yrs old, grew up in the south bronx and we danced and partied to doo wop music and that of dad's....it was a time !

[1983whiteyb]

That's 'bout as good as it gets right there bro!10**********!!

[PJDooWop]

I agree with that. Just about anything Herman Dunham sings lead on does it for me

[Lorenzo1950]

I hear a bit of Sam Cooke in his voice.

I know the Solitaires predated Cook's secular work but this has a definite gospel influence.

[PJDooWop]

Actually, Sam Cooke joined The Soul Stirrers in 1950 and I believe The Solitaires got their start around '53. This song is much later -1959 if I'm not mistaken

[MrHalfox]

This is so nice! Love the Paradise label too from the Harptones! Thank you for letting me see a copy of this and to hear it!

[PJDooWop]

My pleasure.. This is too good to not share

[doowopIS4ever]

No doubt this tune borrows heavily from Jerry Butler & The Impressions 1958 recording of "For Your Precious Love". But after the eerily similar begining, it seems to take off in its own direction. Really dynamite ballad from 1959 on the Paradise label (#113)

[PJDooWop]

I agree with you

[vghlivesri]

Thanks PJ......LOVE Herman Dunham.

[PJDooWop]

He IS the man... Years ahead of his time vocally. He could have sang right next to Otis Redding or Wilson Pickett and held his own. This is soul

[CrisVangel]

Reminds me very much of For Your Precious Love - The Impressions f. Jerry Butler.. I like it, groovy man, groovy! As always, nice post!

[PJDooWop]

Thank you.. This was released by Old Town so it's possible that they pressed this on 78... This was released in early '59. I've confirmed a flexi-disc Old Town 78 released later than this

[CrisVangel]

That's kool, it's like what Devil That I See by the Penguins is to Earth Angel.. I think. Kool record!

[PJDooWop]

Sort of.. Except Herman Dunham was originally one of the leads of The Solitaires. The Vocaleers lead is usually Joe Duncan who was singing background for this one

[MyFunnyThings]

One of the best ballads I've ever heard.

[mja1975]

Classic tune

[13loomisst]

Really nice tune. I recommend reading Marv Goldberg's entry on the Vocaleers. Some fascinating stuff. And Hah13, he mentions this song being done a la Jerry Butler, which I could also hear.

Thanks very much.

[PJDooWop]

You're right. The Vocaleers have a fascinating story

[angelofbebop]

Absolute doo wop heaven. 5 stars/favs! Thanks PJ!

[ocmar0415]

Fantastic track.

Thanks

[RockFur1]

Awesome vocal. Gotta go into the favourites!!

[PJDooWop]

Glad you liked it

[hah13]

great reminds me of For Your Precious LOve

[PJDooWop]

I see the resemblance

[GreenTea200]

yeah really reminds me of For Your Precious Love, too.

[PJDooWop]

It reminds me of that as well.
