Doo Wop Part 2

I'm about 45 minutes into this show. Even the pledge portions are interesting because they show additional footage of the old artists.

Del-Vikings opened. They were one of the first groups I ever enjoyed on the radio... 1957. I remember the absolute thrill of going to a friends house and they had an actual record of "Come Go With Me." I played it at least 7 times in a row. Sorry to say the people on this show, possibly only had one original member of the group. But hey, it was a resonable facsimile of the group.

Peguins and Capris followed. Great to see them. Then came the Cadillacs, who brought down the house with the choreographed dancing and great music. Not to be upstaged, the Duke of Earl, entering from the rear of the audience. Good old Gene Chandler (pictured) still has it. He sounded the most like his original hit.

Johnny Maestro and Brooklyn Bridge sang next. Unremarkable. Then the Edsels, with that great old favorite, "Rama Lama Ding Dong." More choreography, and great colored suits. This group is still viable, and quite entertaining.

Tokens came next... so so. Then the Diamonds doing "Little Darling." Here we have the orginal four members on stage, (impressive) and they don't even look that old. They are in their 70's!!!

I am 45 minutes into this show, with another 45 to go. Stay tuned.
