You're right Harry. Now that I think of it, the tune was on Match Of The Day last Saturday night. I recognised it too! Carol x

Cheers for that hun. Will take a look. Many thanks, Carol

Totally agree Mandy!! Thoroughly enjoyed it

No, not that one!! It was an instrumental!!! ANY MORE OFFERS?? IT WAS PLAYED ADVERTISING THE FINAL SUNDAY MAN U/CHELSEA THING!!

ME TOO!!!!

Don't know if it's the same tune you're talking about but I heard an instrumental last weekend. Nice tune!!! ANYBODY KNOW WHAT IT WAS??

QUITE A FEW AND I'M NOT EMBARRASSED THAT I'M STILL LOVE 'EM!! Lovin' By The Pound - Otis Redding Never Get Enough Of Your Love - Johnny Sayles (SEXIEST RECORD EVER !!!) Help Me - Al Wilson Good Rockin' - Jnr. Walker

Can't make my mind up if it is Vernon or not! He certainly used to wear a yellow T-shirt quite a lot!! I used to try and avoid dancing anywhere near Vernon myself. Every time he used to spin you got a shower of sweat all over you!!! Should be at Bidds Longy, so don't forget that CD you promised

Have to agree with a lots of things you've said here. Not claiming to be an expert or anything but I've always thought of doo-wop as a fifties thing. Agree that the 5 Royales are not a doo-wop group either. Having spent the last 3/4 days looking through a lot of tunes mentioned on this thread, there are some that are so obviously doo-wap and there are many that I wouldn't like to put my money on either way. There's a really fine line with quite a lot of them!! My favourite DOO-WOP TUNES mentioned:- Paradise - Temptations (thanks to you Tony) A Little Too Long - Wanderers Why Don't You Believe Me - Diadems You'd Be Crying Too - Matadors There were also many that I wouldn't consider to be doo-wop although they were obviously doo-wop influenced, two of which, Donald Jenkins and The Fabulous Four are crackin' tunes. A few, which as soon as I heard, I thought it quite strange that they had been mentioned on this thread. I actually wrote 'NO WAY' next to them. Hey It's Love - Commands, Under The Moon - Rufus Wonder and Everything Is Fine - Skyliners. TO END WITH, THANKS TO DREW FOR STARTING THIS THREAD TO BEGIN WITH. IT HAS BEEN REALLY INTERESTING AND I'VE LOVED LISTENING TO MANY OF THE TUNES MENTIONED ON HERE, SO THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED. I'VE HEARD SO MANY TUNES I'VE NOT HEARD BEFORE!!! THAT'S THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS SCENE, IT'S ALWAYS SO REFRESHING!! NONE OF US WILL EVER HEAR ALL THERE IS TO HEAR!!!! (hope that makes sense, lol)

A MAJOR 'BLONDE MOMENT' I'M AFRAID!!! CHEERS HONEY BUNCH, MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! xxx

I remember reading all the posts about the dancing competition after the event and when half of the posts were about the girl in the thong, well it just about says it all in my book. Made a laughing stock of the whole damn thing!!!!

Soz hun. Misread your post. Need new glasses I think!!!! Thought you were after hearing Gee What A Girl!!! DOH!!!!

YEP YOU'RE RIGHT DI. LOVELY TUNE!!! Carol x

HI DREW - TRY POST 24 (premium soul). THAT'S THE ONE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!!

Hi Andy Thanks for this. Not a bad tune. Have to say though that this is one I personally wouldn't class as Doo-Wop. I sure others will disagree but nice tune nevertheless.

Hiya hun This thread is great!!! Still trying to find the time to look all these tunes up. How did your visit to the smog go? PM me and let me know. WHAT DOES ANYONE RECKON TO 'TELL ME WHO' BY THE ISLEY BROS. DOO-WOP OR NOT??

COULDN'T HAVE PUT IT BETTER MYSELF. WELL SAID!!!

Hiya hun I'll certainly check this one out and let you know what I think. I wouldn't have heard When You Said Let's Get Married if it hadn't been for you. Big fan of the Van Trevor one too. As you know I'm a 100 miles an hour type of gal (even though I'm having trouble keeping up with 'em these days, lol) but if I do listen to slow ones they do seem to be along the Do-Wop lines. Only trouble is, some of them are so sentimental they bring a lump to my throat!!! Maybe I'm a soppy old sod deep down, lol!!!! Take Care xx

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS ONE TOO !!!

What an absolute corker!!! Cheers for that hun!!

I'd third that emotion!!!! I think the mirrored ball over the dance floor gives it away!!!

Will certainly be looking up all the tunes mentioned on this topic. Cheers everybody!!!

I too am a fan. Not heard the particular track mentioned by The Persians, but check out another of theirs if you can, WHEN YOU SAID LET'S GET MARRIED. Bought one by The Cleftones a few months back called Heart and Soul and quite like stuff by The Orlons too. I'd certainly like to hear more of this kinda stuff!!!

THOU SHALT APOLOGISE TO ANYBODY YOU BUMP INTO ON THE DANCEFLOOR!!! UNLESS IT'S SOME DIVVY WITH A PINT IN HIS HAND!!!! IF THIS IS THE CASE, YOU TELL 'EM TO F--K OFF AND DRINK SOMEWHERE ELSE, PREFERABLY A DISCO
