The Token's are the ones who did the "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" original. It hailed from Solomon Linda's "Mbube" which later became Pete Seeger's "Wimoweh" and then finally "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"
I have never heard of ROAR. But if they are ROAR shirts, that would be a funny coincedence. Or would they have bought them especialy for this song?? Anyway, it's not about what they wear (but I DO like them wearing something), but it's about their songs and moves.
I find it highly ironic that it looks like the brand of button up shirts they are wearing appear to be ROAR.....I'm not kidding there's a shirt company called ROAR and these look like those lol:) They sound great by the way, and such entertaining performers!
These guys are Canadian - I have some old albums dating back to the 80's , I think one of the singers has passed but the group has had a rebirth, great sounds and great show.
Really? One of my all time favorite singers. We've been Nylons fans since the late '80s and slept out on the street to wait for tickets every time they came to Madison. We were bummed when Paul left the group and heartbroken when Marc did, but Claude and Arnold just kept on. Some of the best memories I have are of these guys at the Madison Civic Center. They just never put anything less than 110% out there, and their voices were other-worldly.
Good vid!!! But the Original Nylons Are MUCH better!! u.u

I don't know the Tokens, but I do like this version. By origine it's a South African song, I think.

You are absolutly right. I take it you saw one of the shows in Holland, last month?
omavannadia 2 years ago
Fantastisch! Fantastic! Super voices! Love the one who has the "Bas(e)"-voice!
Warm voice.....Any performer or group who
can sing like this without even 1 instrument but his voice, is a TOP-singer to me!
