Oh man,the memories this song and all these beautifull songs bring.There will NEVER be an era like that again.These singers had talent,they did not beat on a tin can and sprout out filty or violent language out of their mouths.THEY HAD TALENT!! I truly feel sorry for this generation.really sad.And yes Harrell,your uncle was one of the truly talented singers of that time.
@HARRELL222 - It's funny you say "No one could touch the Flamingos"... My two uncles, Gerhart & Andrew Thrasher, were in the Original Drifters with Clyde McPhatter and would tour with the Flamingos and sit in on their practices. I remember vividly my uncle Andrew saying: "Everyone was crazy about the Drifters' harmony but the Flamingos..." He vigorously praised them. That being said, check out my uncle Gerhart singing lead on the Drifters' classic 'Your Promise To Be Mine'. Enjoy...

The Flamingoes singing Gershwin have me covered in goosebumps one more time. It happens every time. Breathtaking song.

The Flamingoes are the epitomy of the smooth sound.
