Looking For An Echo - Kenny Vance

Doo Wop legend Kenny Vance performs this classic hit. Not the Lauryn Hill or Sesame Street Doo Wop hits but still rockin crowds in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York and worldwide, a gentleman with soul in his doowop.

It's sad to hear what people consider good music today when you hear what beautiful music once was. There are still great bands that embrace the sounds that paved the way to modern music. But this music isn't what sells. Sexy money and material gains is what sells, while you literally have to search out real music in obscure places online or in whas left of local music scenes. As a musician it hurts my soul to put on the radio these days.

[@siriusstar99]

@@Jamiir215 I so agree ,it’s sad it’s not music it’s pathetic reproduce garbage same thing over and over .I don’t know how people can listen to it and actually think it’s good .Holy carp! I’m great full I grew up when I did .I’ve seen so many great bands .Much better days in practically every way . I can’t believe the prices they pay for a concerts and sleaze .

Hi my dear darling Katherine. You had written that you were 74 years old, but at this age I estimate you to be much younger. My estimate of your age is approximately 64 years old and NOT OLDER!!! I am very happy that I can communicate with you from time to time. It does me good, because despite many setbacks I am a single man. Ideally, I would like to meet a very sweet and reliable woman who can mutually support each other, and so on. Lots of love and a big hug from me,,,, you Walter 😍🤩😎💝💖💝👌👌👌
