Rest peacefully Grandaddy!!! What a legacy you left for our family.

I cry to know when I found out that Eugene Mumford died in 1977 at the young age of 43 just up the street from me in Los Angeles at Vermont Knolls care home . At that time I was 10 years old and if I was introduced to the Larks and Dominos material " My Reverie" " Stardust" " Stolen Love" ...ect , I would have been there singing to him everyday after school and let him know how much he was Loved !!!!

Great! A rock'n'roll classic.

Legends

This was surprising. As a few folk have mentioned- Ole Man River is a killer version. I have a later 45 by the too- a Cover version of Ral Donner-You're Skies of Blue. What a record, and killer harmonies and harmonica. Greetings from Scotland... Hari

Are there any original members in this video ?

When did Ricky Cordo die? I can’t find it anywhere online.

How does being the oldest in the group steal the writing credits from the younger writer?

Always loved this song. I feel it was one of their best , along with 219 train.

This is music that makes me move . At least toe tapping .

This should have been a hit. One their best. Sounds great love. 🥰😀😁

Thank you❤

Excellent, may Eugene Forever Rest Easy and in Peace******

Great Doo Wop

They were idols and forerunners of the temptations!

It is still beautiful ❤

And these guys aren't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame because...??

What's Better Than That,....... Thanks Mr. Willie Winfield & his HARPTONES🎙🎧🎤

Also i lived saturday night fever . Sadly not the bit when the kad fell of the bridge.

Cant listen to tubes like this cos it just reminds me of 911. The day hell on earth arrived.i know im not american but it was always my dream to go new york. Jazz clubs yellow taxis like the films i grew up with. My family was from long island 3 generations ago....but 911 my dreams came crashing down. And life has never been the same.....

Strange

Surprisingly good, considering the circumstances.

Nice!!!

legendary, half century later still sends chill down my spine

Didn't really get it like she use to sadly. Cool historical wise though

I had bought the 45 after hearing it only once on the radio back then. The record had just come in to the store. Doo Wop in general had a deep effect on me and still does. I like all the PBS shows that paid tribute to the older singers.

So well done!

This 75 year old surfer from California loves this song..always haved!

Wow❤

So much passion in this !!!

Chapel of love with val poliuto at 22'10 sends me high. Thé calvanes sounds great all thé way..thanks for Charing those live shows

You're beautiful people beautiful time I'm from New York but I love these people this was real love life and fun and beautiful music

I just saw them this past weekend in Dearborn, Michigan with the Coasters, Skyliners and La La Brooks. It was an amazing show. I wish I had seen Charlie before he passed. Not sure who the lead singer was this weekend. I thought it was going to be Jeff Hall but it wasn't.

The 1st song I ever heard by Willie and The Harptones was "Why Should I Love You" back in the 1950s, and I have never stopped listening to and enjoying them. It's a shame they never had national distribution with their records. Willie could sing a shopping list and make it sound romantic.

RIP Willie! You are number one!

I was very fortunate and honored to say that i shared a stage with all these talented performers at Westbury in1989. Tom Bialoglow Founding Member of The "Original" Duprees.

Hand Jive @ 20:30 -- right after the advertisement with the deluxe flashcards! This is a great post!

That's my father (Floyd Buddy McRae). I miss him so much. He was a great dad that got me thru college!

It’s sad to see this group of beautiful singers are no longer with us. Rest in Peace.

Awesome! 👏🔥👍🎶😎

Continue to rest peacefully Grandaddy!!!

The doo-wop era was the best era for music because the songs were all about love. Good love, lost love, new-found love, sad love, unreturned love, looking for love, etc., plus all the uptempo songs were all danceable. Unlike later eras, every performer appeared on stage dressed to perform for their audience.

Still good 2024

My Granny's favorite group 😭

buena musica

It was so many great groups some we never even knew

Killer !!! Doo wops not dead and never will die love from NYC 😉

That's my grandfather Eddie Rich lead singer

I just turned 76 yesterday. I'm a Vietnam Vet. I still ride a Harley and have owned several hot rods. This is all the music I listen to. I've been told I haven't left the 60's

Total professional class. Bravo!
