Message: [QUOTE="donalddoowop, post: 3039211, member: 6552"] Bobby Lester led on Blue Velvet, not Harvey. Also, wire chief, the hit version by the Nutmegs was not acapella. It was recording in one take like so many others back then. That's why when the lead singer's voice cracked at the end it was not recorded over. Bama fan, I'll always like the original of Oh What A Nite better. We sing that one even today. However, the remake was really, really good. Did you know that Johnny Carter, the Dells first tenor, was an original member of the Flamingos before he got drafted and then joined the Dells after service? You can here him really well on I'll Be Home. His voice was much smoother when he sang with the Flamingos. [/QUOTE]
