The Alley Cats-The Duke of Earl

America's Premier Doo Wop Group performs The Duke of Earl.

[@Howieshet]

I have listened to the original and many terriffic covers,of this song, but this version is superb. Outstanding harmony plus probably the best lead I have ever heard. Glorious accapella.

[@76bbqueen]

So encouraging to see people my age (30's) and younger doing Doo Wop. I hope this style of music never goes out of style.

[@theroman1142]

It wont

[@patriciakavanaugh5300]

People will always want great tunes that they can sing along with.

[@damiendunn2078]

I've seen them live when I was a kid and I gotta say there definitely the best doo woop band 🙌

[@scronyx]

Its crazy to think that in ~30 years a lot of doo-wop will start to turn 100 years old. I will be in my 50s listening to what will then be 100 year old music. When in my head, "100 year old music" will still make me think Romantic era.

[@santanas146]

so they came to my school on the day of my birthday and instead of singing happy birthday they sang this song, and of course i couldnt resist my tears and I started crying. it was so beautiful

[@Howieshet]

Best version of this song that I have ever heard. Lead singer blows the roof off this

[@MrAndyHerrera]

Man this never gets old to me. Awesome voices all around!

[@greatkingrat]

Man, 13 seconds into it....that bass voice is amazing! Love this rendition.

[@StatikDynamikDubstep]

This is one of the best performances of this song that I've ever heard!

[@Freedom1645]

I'm currently 18 and I grew up listening to this amazing music and I cannot believe the times when REAL music was around is going to end without my age group knowing what real music was like.

[@edp2501]

Just a fantastic rendition. The lead singer is tremendous. I think this is the best version I have ever heard.

[@Howieshet]

Vocally the best version that I have ever heard.

[@quentinkaasa47]

John Goodman's was better.

[@Mormilylds]

These guys are amazing singers and amazing people. They've been helping my a capella/ doo wop group so much as we try to get recognized in the community. They've offered singing opportunities, song arrangements, and advice. They are AWESOME!

[@eddted2876]

Nice! Really not easy to sing like this without music! Well done!

[@jazzyjen37]

I can't stop listening to this!! I showed this to my male choir students and they got so excited. I cant get enough bass, ever. It's so delicious

[@johnstrohsnitterjr-vs8qb]

I’m 41 and I still appreciate this hands-down you can’t go wrong with the oldies but goodies and I was raised in Billy Joel also

[@popparocky8474]

These guys are good at singing these 50's and 60's songs. They also came to my school too. Keep it up guys! :)

[@crueljones]

I've been addicted to this group for years, it's one of the best Doo Wop's I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

[@serventofthegoatmen7]

Oh. My. GOD. That is one of the most beautiful basses I have ever heard.

[@ShawnZRice]

Gene would be proud of that performance. Simply awesome

[@robdanob6]

the lead singer has the best voice ive heard in ages..and the backing vocals are spot on!!

[@audreyychavez3617]

i wish talent like this was aired on radio stations!

[@Luvs2Play3]

I could listen to this over and over and over again, and HAVE. I've not listened to or watched another group that lifted me like this song and the performers do.

[@captainwafflez3630]

Whoever sings the lead is an absolutely great singer

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

CaptainWafflez: I think that he tends to sing with the modern tendency to stretch notes unnecessarily. This ruins the vintage aspect of the song. He needs to listen closely to Gene Chandler's original recording. His falsetto is rather good though.

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

@@heli-crewhgs5285 I thought it was a nice mix of 60s doowop and modern tones

[@ShawnZRice]

It gives me a feeling of what it might sound like if Bruno Mars and SilkSonic covered it.

[@thatssoironic]

Why have I slept on doowop for so long? This is where it’s at, THIS is what’s happenin. Nothing comes close

[@Hagfan789]

Nice job guys, thought it was to fast at first, but over all one of the better versions of the single.

[@xCypres]

check out that flame shirt & goatee on that man in his 40s. go hard.

[@JennaCzech27155]

My mom is friends with him

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

Guy Fieri wishes

[@producerboy29]

This group is awesome I would pay to see them perform in front me

[@TheAlleyCats]

[@techtuberhd2639]

TheAlleyCats Thank You For Performing At My School Today

[@alexpaic2984]

Mind blowing... can't get enough of this...

[@istorim]

As a low bass i have to say that i love this bass so much.

[@nuwavedave]

I have a 1989 video of a Doo Wop Society (LA) show that my group, The Volcanos did with a dozen other vocal groups - including The Alley Cats. We were both brand new acts, and eventually, The Volcanos packed it in. But, The Alley Cats are still cranking out the hits. I was able to get Mando (the lead singer on Duke of Earl) a copy of the video. The Alley Cats are a class act.

[@theinfant2]

I truly enjoyed this group. It took me back to the old times. A great rendition of the song. The base is outstanding and the lead too.

[@johngiovine8792]

It gets no better than this!

[@barbaraann31]

Gene Chandler would be proud of you guys 👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@Pr3tty_daii]

This is about the best singing I have EVER heard in my life!

[@mikeedwards6162]

A splendid version of this song

[@mlittlejohn777]

Agreed it's the best version ever

[@Ithiane]

Absolutely fantastic guys! Bravo!

[@rockannerowe]

I was a former student a Towers Elementary about seven years ago and I remember this band coming to our school! I love these guys, I used to jive to their music! Most of the kids nowadays that went to my school have forgot about the Alley Cats! Not me! (Actually, I just remembered them.) :)

[@katiedemicheli2244]

I just seen them on Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas cruise in past week. Fantastic. Great on recreating the good years of music DOO WOP

[@heathermiller5765]

Upon seeing the title couldn't help but think of _Married with Children_ lol 😄 But wow, that was amazing. Love that lead singer's voice and tone. Reminds me of Frankie Valli. I'm so in love with this performance. Nothing short of breathtaking 😍

[@scrumps71]

never heard of these guys, got to this video searching for BBC Darts Theme tune, to Darts - Duke of Earl and finally at this (gotta love You Tube hopping) and I'm totally astounded by them, the guy thats singing gives me goose bumps with his vocals. Fantastic !!

[@celena6531]

Excelente!! Grandes Voces 👏👏👏👏❤️🇨🇱🎶🎵❤️

[@thebigfist]

Very nice contemporary styling of Gene Chandler`s great classic.Excellent group!

[@diamondfateful]

Awesome performance!

[@wildmountainthyme4123]

Love this version! Their harmonies are superb!

[@punkmonk87]

one of the best acapella renditions of this song i've ever heard! great job!

[@ryanjoe6145]

Oh I'm in love 😍💯👏👌

[@frankfrank5821]

I'd like to say the same about you. It took just one glance of that gorgeous hair of yours, and those eyes that can just melt a heart from the inside out and make it skip a beat as soon as my eyes fell upon yours, those lips of yours I can't even find all the words to explain how deliciously soft and biteable juicy they look to me angel darling

[@brandonriggs1788]

I remember the first time I heard these guys. Fourteen years ago I was in Job Corps and found them by accident. Reminded me of all the times I listened to Doo Wop with my late grandfather. Even though i was unable to finish my music degree and went another direction, their performances on KZbin have inspired me to keep looking for local guys to form a group of my own. Amazing talent and showmanship. I am glad they are keeping Doo Wop alive.

[@JakeOrion]

Royce Reynolds (bass) doesn't miss a beat. Very impressive. What's even more impressive is they started in 1987! I honestly thought they were in the late 20's or early 30's! Great music guys, and continue to rock on.

[@presbyteriangirl9739]

Fabulous. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who didn't live through the 50s that likes this music. I'm 40. I've been listening to this since I was 11. My dad got me into it.

[@olderthanall]

Wonderful!!!! What a treat to watch!! Love it! You guys ROCK!!!

[@Luvs2Play3]

These guys are just astronomical. I could and HAVE listened to this song over and over again. They are especially talented because they sing a capella. BRAVO!!! Alley Cats. You da' BEST!!! LOVE YOU!!!

[@westy1884]

These guys are fantastic, the bass is superb but your lead is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DarleenEtter]

all I can say is.... Thank you!!!

[@aluminum4279]

Bad ass. These kickers r the real deal. Awesome.

[@NattyBumppo48]

Amazing......

[@RosesNightengales]

I really loved these guys. They were so much fun to see. I Just wish Juan was on all the CD's.

[@SPennell]

You guys did a great job...looking forward to more of your work

[@saucydoxie]

You should see them in person! They have a great personality and really engage the audience in every song. Also, look for them on the PBS special called "Rock, Pop and DooWop." They sing back-up for Jay Black (Jay and the Americans) on "Cara Mia" and several other songs. AWESOME!

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

Return of the Doo Wop Groups.

[@steveslocumb4745]

Just the best by far!!!!!!!!

[@AFINKSTER]

We listened to this song back in the 60's while growing up. Was one of my mom's favorites. My Dad's name was Earl.

[@thefunkbrothers4918]

Fantastic sound really great keep it up

[@WHMusic247]

Just sang this song as a solo for our choir concert. LOVE THIS SONG.

[@ramoneschick1]

This is surprisingly good!, i thought they'd suck but its brilliant!..Love the different voices :)

[@ArchFundy]

Well that was certainly better than most. Great job guys.

[@Howieshet]

I have heard this song from countless groups. This by far vocally out in front of them all. I have heard that the Alley Cats now back up Jay Black.On one of the Pittsburgh shows they were excellant.

[@H20MarkVIII]

POUND PUPPIES nostalgia when i was a kid right here.

[@FATJDM]
