E R YOU EYES FOTHEY HAD SUCH SMOOTH VOICES AS DID THE FLAMINGOES DOING "I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU. CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL JITTIN DANCERS, THE FLAMINGOES DANCING TO "JUMP CHILDREN
THEY HAD SUCH SMOOTH VOICES LIKE THE FLAMINGOES DOING" I ONLY HAVEYES FOR YOU" AND THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL JITTIN DANCERS CHECK THEM OUT DANCING TO THEIR SONG " JUMP CHILDREN"
I never got to see The Heartbeats during their heyday in the 1950's, but I did see Shep & the Limelites several times during the 1960's ... including a reprise of Shep & the Limelites at an Apollo Theater oldies show about a year before the murder of James Shepard near Bruckner Blvd. in the Bronx; Shep's cracky voice was a mere whisper of his former beautiful tenor lead.
This is so wonderful, in 1955 and 1956 I was 5 and 6 years old but I remember both of these songs and I remember my older teenage sisters talking about the answer to the song when Daddy's Home came out. Beautiful when Jermaine Jackson recorded it back in like 1970 or something, he did a good version of it.
great sound by the group singer james shep sheppard along with tony williams of the platters and jackie wilson the best singers in the doop-wop area the best lead singer
@ billichew450, RUMOR has it that they were playing russian roulette and someone put an extra bullet in the gun. Causing him to have 4 chances of killing himself than 5. Big Mama Thorton was SUPPOSED to have been the person who put that bullet in the gun.
I recorded with Maurice Dollison and the Turn keys,Earthworm. Can you get the flip side of it, Name, Misfortunate Fellow. Been trying to find that B side for years.

@butlerjames106 Read a rumor in some book that Morris Levy of Roulette Records had Shep rubbed out.

Lanny- another request- do you have " Pledging my Love " by Johnny Ace? I know
it's posted multiple times on YT, but with your research, i'd be interested in your take

Amazing that you're familiar with Johnny Ace.
We danced to "Pledging My Love" at my senior prom in May 1956..

One of my favorite doo wop tunes. For a group that recorded over 30 great tunes, I don't believe they achieved the fame they deserved.
