Where is Freddie Johnson...only he can do justice to Blue Moon! Freddie, if you read this...we miss you...call us!
Lynda & Paul

Yeah it sold 5-1/2 million copies but not you guys' version!!!!!

The Bassman that the marcels have now can run circles around Fred Johnson no disrespect!

good  song but it is not the real the marcels

Kick ass!!!!

good

Those guys kick arse live! They sound better than the original!!! I love it!

They are ok...not great like the originals. The bass cuts out on the low notes, and the lead is shakey. The same crap happened to The Platters...every one was claiming to be the Platters and they all turned out crap and destroyed the legacy of the original Platters.

Who are these guys? Is there an origional member on stage? Do they have a trademark? They sound good, but they are not the Marcels unless one of teh following are on stage. I can say for sure Bassman Fred Johnson and lead Cornelius Harp are not on stage. they appeared on the Doo-Wop at 50 on PBS and can be found on You Tube.

Baritone vocalist Richard F. Knauss teamed with Fred Johnson, Gene J. Bricker, Ron Mundy, and lead vocalist Cornelius Harp

I did find my answer. For my money, I would only pay to see Fred Johnson or Corneilus Harp as a Marcels group. I did see a Fred Johnson Marcels before 2004.
