I can remember getting into my parent's record collection at around 9 years old and recording all the music I liked from their records unto tape. I've learned to develop my own memories from this music, wondering about the time, remembering stories my parents told me, and just enjoying this awesome music.

Great record by not the hardest or rarest to find. Try looking for Evelyn by the group.  That's going to be impossible. Just ask Val Shively.

[PJDooWop]

This is true Barry. Back in the 90's I had a hell of a hard time finding this, but lately they've been coming up on ebay left and right. I agree about Evelyn as well. I've been collecting since about 1990 and have yet to come across a copy of that title

Great uptempo doo wop!

[MRDOOWOP1]

Love this tune so much........Great doowop!!!

[brizzlekizzle]

Bing Bong everyone!

[cornsloan]

I discovered this one on a CD I bought. It's been in my iPod along with The Cure, Kasabian, Lou Reed, Garbage, Depeche Mode and countless other greats of the rock era. It's one of my top faves. Thanks for posting this!

Another winnwer there P.J. I have it on a reissue. A friend introduced me to this one at least 20 years ago and I have loved it since. He has it on a various artists Ember original LP. You have the only original 45 of this I have seen.

[RoninAvenger]

Great song

[radiotubes]

Oh great song.Love the shouting passion. Wish i saw them perform. The bass guy awsome also.

[PJDooWop]

I agree. It's a very powerful performance

[dzdiesel]

A few yrs back..I worked with a gentleman who claimed his father was a member of the silhouetts,,to his suprise,I told him I was a doowop historian,and I sang a few bars of Bing Bong,,my favorite by them,,we laughed,,Dz from the Bean

[speedy45rpm]

One of Philly's top doo wop groups. Thanks so much for posting this.

[latinsoul53]

This was the follwup to "Get A Job."

[ClydetheCamel99]

Very cool song. I was lucky to find this on an Ember compilation LP from the 1980s.

[roytrician]

Great post Thanks

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

faved and saved, Love it!

[MrHalfox]

Always liked this one when it was played on CBS-FM Doo Wop Shop! Great record and yes it should have gotten more recognition by Ember!

[PJDooWop]

So true, so true.

[dmc081]

@MrHalfox they don't play that much oldies anymore

[InuyashaPrincess14]

Shame on Ember Records for not promoting this song!

[PJDooWop]

Tell me about it. Both sides of this are fantastic

[13loomisst]

Lovely. Great lead. Thanks very much.

[PJDooWop]

Bill Horton was years ahead of his time. He was one of the most soulful doo wop leads I've ever heard

[CrisVangel]

Very nice record, another 1 I've never had the pleasure of hearing before. Great post, PJ!

[PJDooWop]

I appreciate it Chris. I wonder if this exists on 78. If it does I'm sure you or Mike will come across it. You guys always find the rarest 78s

[garybrown57]

[PJDooWop]

[PJDooWop]

Then you've got one hell of a nice 45. It took me quite a long time to find my copy. This is a rare one

[chezfun]

WOW, I love this one, thanks so much for sharing!

[poppakind1]

Great record, a truly under-appreciated side. Beautiful copy!

[PJDooWop]

Thank you!
