Reminiscents - Flames - Haunting Doo Wop Sound

Originally done by The Five Sharks from the Bronx. I'm not sure where The Reminiscents are from, but I've got a feeling they were a NJ group.

Hopefully you can connect with each other and figure it out :D

Wecut this in 1966 or 1967 (don't remember exactly). We also cut a second 45 on a sister label, Day Records -- Zoom Zoom Zoom (originally recorded in 1958 by the Collegians). Flip side was Oh Let Me Dream. And we had two cuts on the final Best of Acapella, Volume 7 (Relic Records). Then life started interfering and we broke up.

Thanks for the info.. That makes a lot of sense since Danny Marcella and Jim Day produced your records (Marcel and Day labels). I haven't found the Day 45, but hope to find one sometime soon. It's a shame you guys broke up. You had a really good sound

You guys did a great job!! on this I always thought the haunting quality lent itself to an organ and guitar,

@nadinedoowop, it's not nice to try to take credit for someone else's work. You were not one of the Reminiscents. The Best of Acapella, Vol 7 (Relic Records) has our picture on the front of the jacket and our names on the back. You, Bill Maddocks, were not one of us.

For the record, nadinedoowops (someone named Bill Maddocks) was NOT one of the Reminiscents, although he has apparently been passing himself off as such. The Reminiscents were: Angelo Naviello (lead), Judy Steinhart (first tenor), Walter "Buddy" Kritsky (second tenor), Bobby Sibilio (baritone/bass), and me, John Costa (bass/baritone). Our picture is on the cover of The Best of Acapella, Vol. 7 (Relic Records), and our names are listed on the back of the jacket.
