Nolan Strong & The Diablos :
"Do You Remeber What You Did" (Fortune Records 1955)
Classic Detroit R&B!

From:
Fortune 516 -Do You Remember What You Did / Daddy Rockin Strong- 1955

Nolan Strong & The Diablos were an R&B and doo-wop vocal group best know for its hit songs "The Wind" and "Mind Over Matter." The group recorded for Fortune Records, a small label in Detroit starting in the 1950s.
Nolan Strong, the lead vocalist, had an etherially high, strong tenor voice. Strong's smooth tenor, influenced mainly by Clyde McPhatter, in turn, was a primary influence on a young Smokey Robinson.
The Diablos were inducted into the United In Group Harmony Hall of Fame in 2003. In March 2008 the group was inducted into the Doo-Wopp Hall Of Fame Of America.

@oldexdoowopdj yeah. I have a feeling so much good music was ignored because of the racism of the time. what a shame. this song is so good.

I'm axin you, "do you remember what you did?"

This song has one of the great and most driving guitar bridges starting at about1:30 into the song and lasting for almost a minute. It's too bad that R & B back in the fifties had limited exposure because (in todays terms) this song "really rocked".
