FIVE KEYS - I'll Follow You (1954) Great! Great! R&B/Doo-Wop Harmony!

A spectacular recording! Easily among the finest examples of that genre. Unbelievable vocal and backing! (Can you tell I like it?)

[@bluenote824jones7]

beautiful song by one of the best groups of the era.top 5 of all time.

[@thebigfist]

Absolutely, the Five Keys, Flamingos, Moonglows, Nutmegs and Heartbeats were the five best of all time!

[@nickgalante708]

One of their best. Phenomenal tenor shadow on the lead!

Doo Wop Personified ~ Beautiful Ballad ~ Thank you for sharing a CLASSIC

First time hearing this. I love it😍

[@robbk1]

The Five Keys signed with RCA and recorded 4 songs in early-mid 1954 (While still under contract with Aladdin). I'll Follow You" was slated to be released as Groove 21. It was never released. This is a bootleg. They signed with Capitol a few weeks later. So RCA withdrew Groove 31.

It can't be duplicated. One of a kind great Do-Wop. Love the 5 Keys. So real, back in the day sound!

[@doowopfan]

Jeez, how great were those guys.

[@mutleybird]

Anyway, to break the fervent doo-wop enthusiast rule of having absolutely no regard for the musicians, that's Mickey Baker on guitar; Kelly Owens on piano; Lee Stanfield on bass; and Marty Wilson on drums. Damn, now you're stuck knowing. . .

[@lynnemills4156]

This was singing backed up by real musicians. So unlike the crap they are selling today.

[@mutleybird]

Including Mickey Baker on guitar.

[@bluenote824jones7]

Great

[@maxshrager]

This song is ecstatic- straight out of gospel. the five keys are basically one of the best bands ever. check out "Darling" and "Yearning"

[@johnhaas951]

As vintage as you can get.

[@toddkray391]

That is probably the rarest Five Keys 45 available......a great record!

[@buckets212]

It's not rare; it doesn't exist. The record was never released. This is a bootleg.

[@danielmkubacki]

WOW!
