The female in this video (1971) was properly still one of the original members, Janet Vogel. She committed suicide in 1980 and was replaced by Cathy Cooper, for two years. Then Donna Groom joined and has been the groups female voice ever since. She also was one of the backup singers for many of the rock and roll acts that were featured on the PBS oldies shows.

[@susiepittman601]

So sad to hear about her suicide. She sure missed that last note.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

@@susiepittman601That was a cnutish thing to write.

Really sad about Janet Vogel; she suffered from depression. The other two males in this performance were original members, so four of the five original Skyliners were in this video, 12 years after it was a hit.

This was around the beginning of a doo-wop/50's revival. In two years, this great song would be included on the soundtrack to American Graffiti, and it was a pretty big selling soundtrack. And then came Happy Days, for better or worse. Anyway, Jimmy Beaumont had one unique powerful voice. Janet had a good voice as well but she was the victim of too many cigarettes from North Carolina.

My mom used to play this song to death. I thought it was Motown. Great vocals.

[@Moon_Mann11]

It’s really cool to see Janet Rapp the original female vocalist in a later video of the skyliners.It’s sad that she dies 9 years after this was filmed.

[@sirensatnight4463]

She missed the last note though. That was painful. The hero and star here is the lead singer. He is/was fabulous. She's a footnote, not a star in this presentation. I apologize for my statement here - and sadly realized that she took her own life. She did have a wonderful vocal range. I guess I spoke too soon.

The ORIGINAL Skyliners were Jimmy Beaumont (lead), Janet Vogel (soprano), Wally Lester (tenor), Jackie Taylor (bass voice, guitarist), and Joe Verscharen (baritone). Four of the five are seen here in this video. Jackie Taylor didn't join them when reunited. He is the only original member still living, as of Feb. 2024. The 4 singers seen here have all passed away.

[@ronaldhagen4890]

FANTASTIC

[@doowopdan1879]

This has to be a recent find, and it makes it the earliest live (as opposed to lip-synced) video of the Skyliners available, 3+ years before the Clay Cole oldies review that's been floating around for at least 20 years. Just think, the original members (minus Jackie), only 12 years removed from when the song was a hit. Janet is great, and looks happy, and Jimmy hasn't grown his famous moustache yet!. The only earlier live audio recording I know of was from a show at NYC's Academy of Music doo-wop show from 1970. Just wonderful, thank you....

[@armando5510C]

Thank you this is the first time I’ve seen this performance I’m almost 40 and the first time listening to the skyliners was as a boy in the movie la bamba I completely fell in love with their voices it’s crazy how music can bring so much joy to a heart …. I was born in 84 but this was the music I listened to in my youth so strangely these songs take me back 25 years sitting in my grandmothers house watching pbs doo wop specials then many acts we’re still comprised of their original members but after many turns of the calendar pages many are gone now including Jimmy 🥺🥺🥺.

[@JukeboxBalowski]

That female vocalist is really good but sometimes even the best singers just can't pull it off for one reason or another. She almost hits the high note at the end but she didn't quite make it. Sounds like she initially hit the note for a second but then her voice falters. But it happens to everyone sometimes in live performances. Jimmy Beaumont sounded excellent and so did the whole group!

[@doowopdan1879]

That's Janet Vogel, who was very talented and sang some leads with the group in their heyday, including "I Can Dream, Can't I." Yes, I caught that, but I can certainly forgive her, as I'm sure that note must be very difficult for anyone to hit, and you have to remember that she was a natural alto, not really a soprano, with an unbelievable range (and still I bet it took them a few takes to record it!).

[@grouchosays]

She did the best she could after all those years. She committed suicide later. Sad

[@doowopdan1879]

I thought she did great, actually. Again, a very difficult note to hit. Yes, I know -- tragic. Mental health awareness for things like clinical depression was not then what it is now.@@grouchosays

[@Frnk_3]

@@doowopdan1879Yea Jan was a natural alto but sang great in her soprano range for the group!

[@grouchosays]

I saw Jimmy and the last line up with him. Sarasota shortly before he passed. Sadly, he was in bad shape and I just don’t know how he got through it. I think Donna Grooms sang Janet’s part. Donna has been a singer in many of the PBS oldies shows.

[@Al-po2oh]
