Thread Name: Greatest Doo-Wop Performance
Subject: RE: Greatest Doo-Wop Performance
Just thought I'd come back again and mentioned the Doo-wop programs shown on PBS, especially during donation periods - many of the old groups are there, and there are replacements within the groups for those who have died, etc. The shows are great, though, and are available on video/DVD - for a price, of course. They broadcast one the other night and damn, the lead singer for the Duprees must be sixty, EASY, and his voice is as good as 1959. Does anyone remember the Orlons? They were a fine girl/guy group who has had much of their material (I've read) tied up in courts so you don't hear them much. They had three or four big hits and the one I remember the most was a tune called, "Don't Hang Up." Well, I'm outta' here, I could talk about, listen to, and try to sing this stuff all night, but there's work to do, Santa's comin'. Cheers.
