Listen more closely to the context. They present the song as if it was first recorded

in l968 by them.

@tonywsmith2 I guess it's just how you take it. Sounds like they said it became a hit for them in 1968.

This is dishonest. The Vogues version of this song came eleven years after

the Bobby Helms version, the signature version, the one that comes to mind first

for almost anybody who thinks of this tune. Nor, as wick201 points out, are these guys the original vogues.

[Genieoutofbottle]

@tonywsmith2 I don't understand why you think there's anything dishonest here. Could you please explain? The video shows a group singing a song. There have been no claims here that they wrote it, or that these are the originals. What is dishonest?

[Genieoutofbottle]

I still think this group had the best harmonies - the best sound overall than any other Vogues lineup.

The one in purple is Lynn Royce Taylor who is still singing, and has the most amazing voice. You can catch up with him on Facebook or Myspace. Check it out!

The younger generations have NO CLUE what they missed!

The music from 1955-1970 was the best ever, and the Vogues

were a BIG part of it!

Outstanding! This was the best version of any Vogues group since the original recordings. Great singers, and they put on a great show. They were very funny, very entertaining, and great singers. We were very disappointed whenwe drove to Pittsburgh to see The Vogues on the Majestic. It was a guy claiming to be an original member and 2 other guys. They were very average at best.

[wicky201]

Those guys are not the orignal vogues; which explains the Elvis guy!!

The Vogues & Jay And The Americans are playing May 8 at the Greater Binghamton Sports Complex in Binghamton NY, and The Vogues will be playing the Holiday Inn Riverfront Hotel in Elmira, NY on the 7th, with a young, local Corning, NY a cappella group called The Aces opening for them. Should be a good show!

Chuck Blasko may have the passion for the songs, but the sound of his group can not compare to the sound of the trademark Vogues with Mr. Burkette and Mr. Geyer.
