  • Great Job this is about as close to the Ravens as is it gets.I saw the Ravens in the early 70's at the Academy of Music in Manhattan Jimmy and Maith were both there  Rich (nipsipone)

  • Thanks Rich....being up there with these fine gentlemen,just gave me chills,I happen to be a big fan of the Moonglows,But there's no doubt

    the Ravens were not only the pioneers of this great music, but also the Greatest Vocal group ever!

  • Gee! The Ravens were a great group however this falsetto lead is off key, makes me appreciate The Flamingos version,no disrespect just hard to listen to an off key singer , god bless em anyway. The group sounded great though!

  • RIP Warren. Hadn't heard that he passed.Didn't realize Leonard had passed either.R.I.P. to two great pioneers.

  • Warren "Birdland" Suttles, the last remaining original member of the Ravens, died Friday (July 24) at the age of 84. Warren had sung with as a member of Wini Brown's Boyfriends before the baritone started the Ravens along with bass singer Jimmy Ricks, second tenor Leonard "Zeke" Puzey and high tenor Maithe Marshall in 1945. From 1948 to 1952, they amassed eleven chart records in the days when the R&B chart was only 10-15 songs.
