My city that smells like Coal and Pee....Thank you Gus and Don K Reed.......You made the weekends so complete...With our music low and sweet.....In the night my radio barked...Doo wop sounds; deep in the dark..........Our city, she don't sound the same...all we have is time to blame.
5 Discs best song. Even had my son singing this tune and he was only 7 or 8 years old. Great fast Doo Wop. A true and timeless classic. Bigcarbone, your dad was out of sight. A great lead. I just love this song.
The lead's name is John Carbone, possibly the best lead they ever had (past and present). He was the third and only recorded 3 songs but he was still performing up to recently, with his own group. The fantastic Eddie Parducci took over, next, and he still performs with his Five Discs--but John is considered by many as TOPS.
I love the FIVE DISC i'm 30 years old been listening to doowop/oldies all my life.The sound is just amazing .Me and my wife have a child on the way and he or she will be rocking out too this stuff just like daddy..:)
I first heard this song when I was in Manhattan. An electronics store had the song blasting to the outside public and it repeated over, over, and over all that day. I remember it well.

That sounds like Joe Oldham on the drums. He was a studio musician back in the 50's and 60's

5 Discs made so many great songs. Never Let You go was one of their best. Check out Let's Fall in Love by the Boyfriends was actually the 5 Discs.
