Their repertory is large and diverse, including hits from the 50's (the Doo Wop era) by the likes of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Shep and the Limelites, The Five Satins,The Tokens, The Penguins, The Tymes,Gene Chandler, and from 60's( the Soul Era) The Drifters, the Tempations, Four Tops, the Tokens, Ben E. King, Jackie Wilson, the Contours, and lots of Sam Cooke covered to perfection. Here they perform Wonderful World.

If there were more cats like these in the world, What a wonderful world it would be.

Outstanding talent amoung friends is a wonderful thing indeed.

[1951RKP]

Street music the way it was originally done back in the 1950's. Great to see and hear. When songs required great voices and the lyrics didn't have to be full of the F word. Refreshing !

@HoboGus

don't be an idiot this is great street music

you should rather criticize stars who make millions with their music, instead of this great artists who sing on the street and let us listen to their music for free

and beside of that the bass is also very good

[Dehuman18]

I wish I could sing with them

[HoboGus]

Get RID OF THE DAMN BASS and get someone who can SING BASS!!!
