If I had a time machine I would set it to 1960 and dive into that studio to hear live, the Excellents great Accapella version of this all time classic. I like this one as much as I like the Dell Vikings Accapella version.

Very stylish arrangement with a stellar ending.I only wish John and present day group would incorporate some of these other songs when they appear on various oldies-revival shows.

@Howieshet In this case, they're probably singing acapella on Lydig Avenue late at night, a block south of Pelham Parkway!

Yeah I just found out that the record label that they were on I don't know exactly what was happening in Philly but they had to go to Philly and the record label would not pay for their expenses these kids didn't come from families and money so and they didn't have the money or that must have been so so humiliating to them and so they couldn't make Philadelphia and the record label send somebody else to do this song Coney Island baby so that was the end of them people could be gross can they

I'm sorry, but the Harptones and Robert Klein, yes the comedian have ruined this song for anyone in the Doo Wop category that tries to follow. But that's just my opinion tho. Go check out Robert's version, believe me, you won't be disappointed.
