Very rare ballad. Van McCoy and The Starlighters were a Philly doo wop group. Most people remember Van for his production work in the 60s and 70s. He was a really good singer as showcased here.

  • You have an amazing collection. Thanks for sharing. Are you in Philly?

  • @ksmusic23 - I'm about an hour from Philly in central NJ. I'm closer to NYC

  • Wow! PJ.... Van McCoy did Doo Wop? Who'd a thunk it? Great!!! Thanks for all this good stuff!

  • Van McCoy did lots of doo wop.. I've got another Starlighters track going up tonight actually :)

  • If you are interested in Van McCoy's Doo Wop legacy, Ccheck out his recording with the Four Buddies called I Want To Be The Boy You Love. I am trying to locate the song "I Cried" by Rhode Island's Castoleers. Can anyone help?

  • I Want To Be The Boy You Love is one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever head. I have a copy, but it's got a big scratch that causes a loud tick. If it weren't for that I would have posted it.

    Maybe you're thinking of That's Why I Cry by The Castaleers? Great record! I just posted my favorite Castaleers song yesterday, I'll Be Around

see all

  • That Van Allen belts it out, don't he? (I'd apologize for that "space junk" of a gag, but it's no worse than the visual pun on the record label!) -- 1b2s

    Anyhow, now I can download this and your other vid w/the B-side and sell off my brother's old 45! Thanks!

  • Didn't know that Van MCcoy did Doo-Wop in his early days. Was he singing lead on this one?
