Flamingos - I only have eyes for you

Cousins Jacob Carey (Jake) and Ezekial Carey (Zeke), bass and 2nd tenor, respectively, formed the group in Chicago, Illinois, after meeting baritone Paul Wilson and first tenor John E. "Johnny" Carter at a black Messianic Jewish synagogue. Earl Lewis (not the Channels lead) soon joined, and after a series of name changes, (The Swallows, El Flamingos, The Five Flamingos), wound up being known as The Flamingos.

One of those rare atmospheric 50's rock 'n' roll classics. Really in a class by itself.

(Ooh) I wonder (wonder, whoopee do-oo) who the arranger was?

A little slower tempo than the original which i like better but this is a great version as well.

Old doo wop singers don't die...they multiply.
