The Manhattan Transfer covered this in the '70s and did a fine job of it. Worth a listen as well. The Videos were "discovered" by WWRL disc jockey Jocko Henderson on Amateur Night at The Apollo in 1957. Their first release was "Trickle Trickle" which did not chart nationally although it became a local New York area classic. The group broke up shortly thereafter when Ronald Cussey the lead singer and Ronnie Woodhall, the bass singer, both died. Two of the remaining three members joined Shep & The Limelites ("Daddy's Home"). Nice pick Romello. Thanks Harri.
This song was released in 1957 by 5 Seventeen year olds. What a great upbeat tune. It became a doo wop classic. The vocals are magical and the instruments amazing. Unfortunately 2 of the members died a short time later. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Romello. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Still awaiting for you to hit another 50s gem, The Skyliners "Since I Don't Have You." Such a timeless classic, and one of the first pop rock songs to use and incorporate strings. Love this era!
New York City in the 1950's was where it all came together -- doo-wop -- from "Sixty Minute Man" by the Dominos and "Gee" by the Crows. And the rest is history.
I think you may enjoy Ray's Rockhouse by Manhattan Transfer... And if you're in the mood for silly... Try their song Java Jive. (it always made me smile in jazz choir)

It was when I was a teenager..good stuff
If you want to hear a ballad by The Videos, the flip side "Moonglow, You Know" is agreat one.

Give At My Front Door by the El Dorados a spin another doo wop classic.
