a return to doo-wop once again with this classic....
i love both sides of this single...
i love their lead vocals and harmonies...
the "A" side is one of those all-time classics that would have been a hit in any era of popular music IMO...
single went to #1 in the UK and rightfully so

Thanks for this and the Dion post. There weren't many mixed-race groups in those days (still aren't); these guys are the best.
