Who's gonna take the bass "I-Re-Mem-Ber / I-Re-Mem-Ber" on the bridge?

One of my all-time favorites, both as a record to listen to and as a sing-along to recreate.

My *absolute* favorite do-wop recording is the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You," but for listening only. I wouldn't even *try* to teach an audience of drunken partyers to sing the background while I try to take the lead.

The late great Ernie K-Doe click here, scroll down to 2d photo
was a member of the Flamingos as a teenager. His mother moved him from New Orleans to Chicago in an effort to break into the biz, and Ernie caught the ear of Harvey Fuqua.

After many years of uncharacteristic silence on the subject, sometime around 2000/2001 he suddenly began claiming credit for that wonderful lead vocal. Ernie was a notorious self-promoting bullshitter and I was reluctant to believe him; however, his young face is undeniably present in the group photo on the front off at least one Flamingos album cover. I tend to believe that K-Doe sang on the record but as one of the background voices -- not as the lead, which sounds nothing like him. Of course, he was very young at the time and may have had a clearer, higher tenor voice than what we hear on his later recordings under his own name.

OK, it's my fault! I didn't mean in this thread, you Clowns! I meant in a live chat room somewhere! But now I've got your names...

you have got me started...

The funniest parody of a "Doo-Wap!" (if indeed it POSSIBLE to parody such a silly singing style!) I ever saw was Morecambe & Wise doing "Boom - Oooh - YaTaTaTah!".... Must track down the words for that sometime - it's on an LP I have packed away.

OK, "Boom - Oooh - YaTaTaTah!".... that's 4 parts, including the solo.

So who wants what part?

I can't remember the words for the solo... :-)

Hi - anybody know if "Will you miss me tonight" was a real song and what were the lyrics?

Thanks
