Good to see that a lot of us old Doo Wop singers still have a lot in common, Heart, soul, rhythm, harmony and of course...Gray hair! Great job on this one guys.
I worked with Jeff @ NYSAG for many years and shared his love of doo wop- My favorite was a rendition he did called " On the Streets of Staten Island "-I only spoke to him a couple of months ago-He was a great guy
I sang steve m.when i was a teenager.at the same time they were singing.it is great to see they are still singing.my friend just seen them in n.j.and talked with jimmy.richie r.said they were great.i still love to sing so i started a group in florada keeping the music alive ,cliff moody.
Thought this was a doo-wop 1950's hit but found out the Capri's did it in 1982. I guess Doo-wop is still Doo-wop no matter when it's performed love the song these guys are GREAT!
These guys are awesome! Such a refreshing tune to hear in mid-2021. It’s got feeling, depth, and soul. They were so in tune with one another as artists. It’s literally like they performed this song just yesterday! They work very well together. We need more of this to break the monotony as our so-called ‘music’ has become so stale and mundane. If a song doesn’t invoke genuine emotion within 30-seconds, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you, but it doesn’t qualify as music! This is the real deal. 👏👏👏 P.S. There is a down side, for some odd reason I was thinking of the doo wop era earlier today and even mentioned a few of the greats by name. Now, this song will most likely be literally stuck in my head. I say it’s literal as I have the audio equivalent of a photographic memory. I jokingly call it my phonographic memory. 😂 I can replay every last detail back to myself, and can even separate parts and tracks mentally with audiophile-grade precision. You’re probably thinking that this sounds (read: pun alert) so unbelievably awesome, right?! Sometimes it is, but the working theory of my neurologist is that it’s a side effect or more precisely an aura associated with my now chronic migraines. There’s times that the same song will go on, in repeat mode, for 4, 5, or occasionally even a few more hours at a time! What would be awesome is if I could shut it off on command. Sadly, other than trying to eliminate white noise from my surroundings, I have no simple way to shut it down! I’d be elated if I could spin it up and shut it down on command, I’d certainly save a lot of money on headphones, IEMs, music, and the like! 😂 It really sounds like a HiFi stereo or CD player quality. That’s how I first discovered it, I was angry that someone left loud music on in the other room around 3 a.m., however it was just me. Kinda freaks you out a bit those first few times! 😜
Alex . . . that was what I thought to be the best song from a video a local cable station aired. I offered to edit it out of the show and UA-cam it for fun and to promo them. Don't have the video anymore. I'll pass your response over to my friend in the band.
Totally forgot this song until I came across it on UA-cam. Although I forgot I still new the words. Great memory. Does anyone know where I can download the song or buy the recording.
Manhattan Transfer was the original group that first sang Morse Code of Love in 1960's and Capris covered it into a hit of the 1980s. The Capris are an American doo wop group who became a one-hit wonder in 1961 with "There's a Moon Out Tonight." They experienced a popularity and performing resurgence in the 1980s, when three members reformed and The Manhattan Transfer recorded their song, "Morse Code of Love," which reached the US Hot 100

That's the first thing I thought too, drowned out by the band and overlaid by the other singers as well. As someone else said, also not enough camera on him , could hardly tell who was singing lead; who knows maybe they wanted it like that?🤔 Other versions, Capris (Nick Santamaria), Manhattan Transfer (Alan Paul), have strong, visible leads.
Yeah James, should have had a more primary focus now and again with camera. Looks maybe like 2 cameras were on the scene and don't know if there was a director or cameramen just shot on their own.
Forever a favorite! God bless you guys!
This is a great song very well done but they have the title wrong, this old Capris classic is called “Morse Code of Love”.
This was a fav. Can't stop listening to fabulous Do-Wop!!!
Bravo ! Excelente ! Magnifico !
One of my husband and mine favorites.

After you finish singing with your group in Florida walk over to the public library and brush up on your spelling!#@

Robert Reynolds no wonder this song has a little 80’s vibe to it
Still good harmoy
It's called the Morse Code of Love.
Fantastic - lots of fun to listen to & watch you guys go at it. Good rendition of the Morse Code of Love. Thanks for the post

Live, guys that can actually sing. What a novel idea.
Great job guys.
Would like to sing with your group
OK, so Back in the day, in The Bronx, NY, there was a group called, The Expressions and this is not the same group. That groups lead singer was, Robert Yula and he is not in this group. Just saying...
R.I.P. - Jeff--from Don K
Great song,I like the Capri's version better!
Never knew the Capri's did it and like "There' A Moon Out Tonight" as their best song
Great job , but not enough camera on the lead singer. But good job anyway.
I prefer in Manhathan Transfers voice...
isnt this song morse code of love
Yes originally done I believe by the Manhattan Transfer
+echospirit No it's the Capri's released in 1983.
Yes Alan that is another name for this tune
and I believe it was originally sung by the group called Manhattan Transfer
Actually I stand corrected . . . krame99 is right the Capris originally sang Morse Code of Love:

+echospirit Yes and that album from 1982 with morse code of love, that's how love goes and there's a moon out again is a great album very well done.
No as good as Manhattan Transfer ( not many singers have a voice like that guy has ) but a real good version . What an upbeat tune
the lead singer needs to have more volume ~! other then that they sound good~!!
That's the first thing I thought too, drowned out by the band and overlaid by the other singers as well. As someone else said, also not enough camera on him , could hardly tell who was singing lead; who knows maybe they wanted it like that?🤔
Other versions, Capris (Nick Santamaria), Manhattan Transfer (Alan Paul), have strong, visible leads.
lousy camera angle. Lead singer is almost always cut out of tape.
Right David, should have been more camera on lead and don't know if there was a director to achieve that or cameramen just shot as they thought.
A little rough but ok, horrible camera work.
Yeah James, should have had a more primary focus now and again with camera. Looks maybe like 2 cameras were on the scene and don't know if there was a director or cameramen just shot on their own.
nice try but did not make it
