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.

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.

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....

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 🥺🥺🥺.

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!
@doowopdan187910 ай бұрын
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!).
