  • Yeeeah, I can dig it -- Ye wanna drink a "my beer is Rheingold th dry beer!" Buuuuut are ye tough enough to drink a Boit & Harry PIELS Beer? I think they aged it for a quarter of an hr! Memories of downing PIELS during th annual Saint Amselm's summer bazaar in Brooklyn!

  • LOTS OF HARMONY.

  • BROOKLYN DOO WOP ............THE BEST

  • I think I will drink a Rheingold after listing to this song

  • great version  later by The Manhattan Transfer I saw the Caddilacs perform this live 50 years ago

  • Yes this is the best version!

  • The best version of Globria ever. Does anybody have a video of Vito and the Salutations on You tube. I saw these guys so many times in NJ and their vocal range was fantastic. I believe that Vito Basalmo is still singing today.

  • @jrcraw60 i have a video of them on bandstand doing unchained melody, thanks to frank fox.

  • yesterdays today's version of gloria is the BEST!!!!!!

  • one ass kickin version of this classic. Superb

  • As far as music...I agree!!  Love my oldies, they have melody and meaning.

  • Wow!!! Would like to hear them do this Acappella.

  • BEST VERSION!!!!!!

  • I just love this music. my wife tells me that I am stuck in the 50s,and my reply is that I rather be stuck in the 50s with this great harmony then listening to the garbage they call music today. Doo-Wops forever.

  • @cosneg1149 My Wife tells me the same thing plus i drink Rheingold Schlitz Schaefer Schmidts and on occasion Pabst. So not only do i like the oldies but i like the old Beer brands too

  • @cosneg1149 I am with you 100%.the 50s & early 60s.Rock on

  • Best version, way better than Cadillacs

  • This Lead is so smooth and clear and voice pure...I like the tempo by these guys--they mesh perfectly...I am captured by the memories....

  • Yes better than the Cadillacs

  • How great is this? What a lead voice and what outstanding harmony. Fantastic version by one of Brooklyn's all time best doo wop groups.Maybe this is heresy but this is better than the Cadillacs original by a whole bunch.

  • KILLER VERSION OF GLORIA!!!!!!!!! I'd not heard it before but I think it RULES. Really SUPERB! Thank you!!

  • Best ever

  • Been looking for this for years. Glad to find it.

  • wunnerful wunnerful!

  • THIS IS THE BESTEST VERSION OF GLORIA EVER!!!! IT'S ALSO A BITCH TO FIND

  • when did randy silverman join vito and are they still singing together,what songs did they sing together

  • all thanks havanakings. ill have to let my dad know the compliments hes getting...God Bless

  • I love Vito,but the Cadillacs did the best version! Nuff said and yes at Vito's daughter Dad Had a tremendous voice! A great falsetto as in MY HERO MY FAV OF ALL THEIR SONGS!!

  • This is the national anthem for all doo-woppers. In ordre to make it, you had to master this song first . the greatest

  • @raymoles Don't forget Sunday Kind of Love as well.

  • that is my dad singing vito, the lead singer, anyways i just thought it was cool that he had some comments one here. but yeah thats my daddy. this was back in 1961. i love you dad what a beautiful voice you have, thanks for passing it on to me.

  • @aliciakaeb

    Glad to see you are so proud of your Dad! And you should be. Vito and the guys had a lot of arrangements of old songs that were better than the originals.

  • @aliciakaeb

    Alice one of my former canarsie neighbors was in the band Maidie Siegal-Liberti . They are one of my favorite Do-wop bands..just wanted to let you know you can see their photo on my canarsie facebook page

    Enjoy and become a fan!!

  • The single best version of a doo wop classic. I'd give year of my life to be able to sing like Vito Balsamo.

  • I like this version better than the Passions version. I do like the Passions Version too

  • I`ve got this original 45 rpm too thanks for posting. A superior rendition

  • Vito & The Salutations-Gloria-Rayna-5009-­1962
