HERE'S WHAT'S BEING FEATURED IN THIS AUCTION:
1963s The Harptones singing Sunset and I Gotta Have Your Love on KT Records number 201 (GBV = $50).
The Harptones are an American doo-wop group which formed in Manhattan in 1953.
The group never had a top forty pop hit, or even a record on the national R&B charts, yet they are still considered one of the most influential doo-wop groups, both for their lead singer, Willie Winfield and their pianist/arranger, Raoul Cita. The Harptones may have been the first doo-wop group to number a full-time arranger among their members, and Cita knew how to work to Winfield's strengths. Their best-known recordings include Sunday Kind of Love (1953), Why Should I Love You? (1954), Life Is But A Dream (1955), and The Shrine of St. Cecilia (1956). The song Life Is But A Dream is featured in the movie Goodfellas during Karen and Henry's wedding. The song can be found on the film's soundtrack.
This particular record is in very good condition with normal wear for a record its age. There is a little wear to the label as can be seen in the scans. Buyer will include $3 for shipping. Thanks!
