Channels - That's My Desire

Earl Lewis & The Channels singing "That's My Desire" back in 1993.
Lyrics:
To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous
To reminisce with you
That's my desire
To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
Darling, I love you so
That's my desire
To sip a little glass of wine
I'll gaze into your eyes divine
To feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine
To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous
To reminisce with you
That's my desire
Desire desire that's my desire.

It doesn’t get better than this

[@paulburek7530]

Earl Lewis...untouchable!

[@Threetonedog]

These guys sing so well it makes me cry that the kids today don't get to hear songs like this any more. This is true slow dancing and snuggling music. If you're alone, it makes you close your eyes and sway. Try doing that to P Diddy!

[@bernicekritcher5488]

Every afternoon turned to American Bandstand to hear the best Doo Wop and see the greatest performances! How I miss those days! I am 74 and I will always be a teenager in my heart!

[@RickAradeloff]

The big O of music!

[@vitosanto3874]

Earl Lewis is amazing as is the rest of the group real gentlemen real talent,yes I remember where I was and who I was with the first time I heard this beautiful version it was a beautiful chill autumn evening in 1957 I was in my car with my girl fried when this came on the radio we were so in love. It didn't stand the test of time but all these years later the memory is still beautiful.

[@EdwardSimko]

No one can hit those notes like Earl

[@arlenereid8919]

My all time favorite leading man. Earl is the best & I had the privilege of him inviting me on stage at Hampton Beach Casino as he held me close singing My Love for You Will Never Die! I will always remember this. Thanks to my friend & the best Boston dj ever "Little Walter" may he rest in peace.

[@antoniamatheus1210]

No one can hit those notes like Earl. He is out of this world!

[@florencewagner9552]

Loved his voice. My 17yr old grand daughter was amazed at all the high notes he hit at the end

[@rjb073]

I saw these guys about 3 years ago in Lancaster, PA. Earl can still hit the high notes and when he sang these ballads, he was definitely on top of his game. These are the type of songs that I could listen to all night for a month or longer.

[@kenburns8376]

The only group I've heard in latter years that sounds exactly like when they first did it.

[@ruthannbrafford9710]

Earl Lewis what a voice!

[@dogtowncurve5107]

[@Madminute1968]

Nice, and lead guitar up front is excellent.

[@carlrichardson5511]

What an amazing group....Earl Lewis is awesome! The best of times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@doowoptm]

I had the privilege of speaking to Earl and some of the Channel out in Medford NY in early 2002 at a concert they performed at the High School there. Great time and had him autograph a couple of 45's as well. Later saw him a month later at Hofstra University at a Ronnie I concert. Great guy. Sorry to hear they have retired. As Earl told me "keep the music going"

[@RockLives4u]

Fantastic...This is indeed a Foundation song, folks. Thank you a ton for this upload, very much appreciated. A lesson in Doo Wop. Bless you Alan Freed King of Rock.

[@lesterparker9776]

Earl Lewis is a great lead singer. I use to be able to hit those notes.

[@joannzeringue299]

This is one of my favorites. I almost forgot it. Thanks for the memories.

[@ASSUNTALU]

[@Aldantonio18]

Earl Lewis still had that fabulous falsetto in '93 ... awesome. And his lead voice matured into a much better lead voice than when he began with the Channels in the 1950's ... in my humble opinion.

[@maxinestannard9463]

The Channels own this version in my opinion--cool sound

[@stephenfioirno6040]

Earl Lewis can bring it on this song. He was great

[@vivalaraspa30]

CHILLS. EXCELLENT.
