Gee! The Ravens were a great group however this falsetto lead is off key, makes me appreciate The Flamingos version,no disrespect just hard to listen to an off key singer , god bless em anyway. The group sounded great though!
Warren "Birdland" Suttles, the last remaining original member of the Ravens, died Friday (July 24) at the age of 84. Warren had sung with as a member of Wini Brown's Boyfriends before the baritone started the Ravens along with bass singer Jimmy Ricks, second tenor Leonard "Zeke" Puzey and high tenor Maithe Marshall in 1945. From 1948 to 1952, they amassed eleven chart records in the days when the R&B chart was only 10-15 songs.
Great Job this is about as close to the Ravens as is it gets.I saw the Ravens in the early 70's at the Academy of Music in Manhattan Jimmy and Maith were both there Rich (nipsipone)
