This was Rays first big hit and launched him into stardom. The rest is history.

On this record, they sound a lot like the Platters.

doowop at it's best

One of New Yorks finest groups. Bring this music back

What a great cover of a great old standard. Real nice rendition.

One of my all-time favs. Gee, Gee.

The Flamingos-so smooth and melow their sound. Harmony plus. One of the all time doo wop groups for sure. What I would give to get this sound back on the radio today!!!

Only the Flamingos could do this song justice. WOW

@rochesway I hope you are proud.

This was a big hit for them, at least in N.Y.

Is that who wrote this? Very cool, and who better to sing it? First time i heard it.

Submarine race watching music at it's best. Did a lot of that,LOL

All I can say is "MERCY."

Royu has a voice that just goes through you, gives you goose bumps. It's pure and his music is unbelievable

This is one of the all-time greats of the 50's. Has lots of meaning to me personally.

Thanks for posting this one, it's awsome-classic Spaniels.

I have the album pictured above. Ifell in love with Spaniels in 57. Smooth baby!!!

Chicago can be proud they spawned the Spaniels. One of the best groups in doo wop.

This is one of the best doo wop songs ever. Pookie really did it justice. Where is this music today---only a memory.

Yet another NYC group that pre-empted other female groups such as the Shirelles etc. Beautiful harmony.

Unfortuneatly, the Moonglows were victims of Allen Frieds payola. If you look at the credits on some to their records as to who wrothe the songs, Havey's name is on there along with Fried. He never wrote a lick of the song, but got credit.

This song was the one that rocketed Ray into fame and fortune back in the early fifties. He was primarily a Blues singer, and this is one his best ever. This rendition is the original. I have the 45, part of my huge collection of doo wop.

i consider myself fortunate to have grown up in the 50's, lived near NYC, and have been a part of the great doo-wop era. Johnny was one of the very best. RIP.
