This was one of the Tommy Hunt leads. Many of their songs featured Nate Nelson on lead alone or at times with Terry Johnson doing a two part harmony with Nate - but always remember they all were able to sing lead including Paul Wilson. They really were great.
One of the things I will always regret is that I never caught this group live. I did pattern my group, The Duvals/Naturals after them. There is no doubt that they are the greatest of all time! . I ought to know. Chuck Perry-Kelly.
Oh Yes... I will never forget.. Where we were or When.this happen.. But the best part of it all.. It happened... Since this wonderful day... It has changed my life forever..
It really doesn't matter the clothes, we were wearing... The Smile you brought to me and I sent this smile back to you......
The most important part is
We still remember.. This beautiful day always..
Extraordinary harmony!!!These cats could blow.Incredible sound and arrangements.I use to catch them at the Paramount in N.Y.C.The love songs turned everyone into romantics.They would perform in ice blue tuxedos and looked like a million .Thanks for the upload!
I'm 73 years old, and have been listening to music all my life....The Flamingos are definitely in my Top 5 groups for harmony, ballads, and sophistication. No question there music is timeless.
