The Belmonts Acappella


I remember going ape when I first heard this in the 70s as a grad student. Jivin' Johnny Etheredge played it on his Saturday Gold radio show, and I rushed out the next day and bought the LP. I love this record! But along the way I lost it, and the tape I made of it, but recently saw it was out in CD, ordered it, got it today, and have been blasting it since then. I still love it. This is The Belmonts minus Dion, who in his own right has a fine new blues CD out (he was a blues musician before turning to doowop and rock). But if you like oldies acappella, can't do much better than this.
