Hailing from Newark NJ. (pronounced Nork)
Book Of Love peaked at #5 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1958
There was a clip in "green and white" on youtube that had more cutaways to the audience than anything. They also edited out a verse. So, I made it black and white, and edited the bits together to make a whole performance. The original lofi audio was from the TV studio and had claps mixed in, so I flew in the original track and compressed it a little. I made this because there were no real videos of this great band performing this great tune. The song was inspired by a Pepsodent toothpaste commercial.
"You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent".
