What Beatles were for Rock’n’Roll in general, and British Invasion in particular, what Otis Redding was for Soul, what James Brown is for Funk and what Bob Dylan is for singers/songwriters of all kinds, THE FLAMINGOS were for doo-wop and vocal group sound of the late 1950’s. If you are only familiar with one of their songs - their classic mega-hit "I only have eyes for you" from 1958, you are missing A LOT - and doing this awesome group a great, grave injustice. If you think that the Byrds, Beach Boys or Everly Brothers could sing, well --- you are right, but --- wait until you hear THIS!!!
Starting with the 1955’s much loved (and still reigning) doo-wop anthem "Golden Teardrops" and on through the years, THE FLAMINGOS created some of the most heavenly vocal harmonies known to the human ear (and brain). Any of their albums - whether on "CHECKER" or on George Goldner’s "END" label is highly collectable and much sought. This is their third - AND BY FAR THE VERY BEST - album from their golden "END" era, which came out in 1960 and includes some of the most impressive and dramatic vocal pirouettes known to humankind. If you remain indifferent after hearing the band's versions of "You'll never walk alone" and "Everybody's got a home (but me)", check your pulse!!! Frankly, I don’t know which song from the album should be - or could be - singled out. They all simply sparkle. One gem after another, after another.
This is a must-have for any serious collector of the vocal group music of the 1950s and 1960s and a soothing balm of celestial harmonies, the kind of music which is no longer being made or heard. This is a rare chance to own this great album in its ultimate, primordial, original form. The album includes a song specifically written for them by Sam Cooke ("Nobody Loves me like you"). Track listing: In the still of the night - Beside you - When I fall in love - You, me and the sea - Everybody's got a home (but me) - Nobody loves me like you - Tenderly - I was such a fool - Every time I think of you - At night - You'll never walk alone…
