I think i remember that this group made a record called " Five o'Clock World ". I could be wrong. I always loved the song " Special Angel". I forgot the person that had the hit with it years back.
I had this on a 45 that I talked my older brother out of... I LOVE this song & the version by The Vogues is still my fave!! THANK YOU Genieoutofbottle for posting this!! :) :)
I can appreciate that U & others may prefer the sound of this grp. I just don't share the love, I guess. I prefer the familiar original sound & the passion Mr. Blasko has for songs & the name of the group he helped make famous. The thing that bothers me most is how this group here allows listeners to believe they are part of the ORIGINAL group when they R not.. I heard these guys here BEFORE I heard the originals & I could tell the difference. A matter of personal taste which we enjoy. =)
The one in purple is Lynn Royce Taylor who is still singing, and has the most amazing voice. You can catch up with him on Facebook or Myspace. Check it out!
The Vogues & Jay And The Americans are playing May 8 at the Greater Binghamton Sports Complex in Binghamton NY, and The Vogues will be playing the Holiday Inn Riverfront Hotel in Elmira, NY on the 7th, with a young, local Corning, NY a cappella group called The Aces opening for them. Should be a good show!
@tonywsmith2 I don't understand why you think there's anything dishonest here. Could you please explain? The video shows a group singing a song. There have been no claims here that they wrote it, or that these are the originals. What is dishonest?
This is dishonest. The Vogues version of this song came eleven years after the Bobby Helms version, the signature version, the one that comes to mind first for almost anybody who thinks of this tune. Nor, as wick201 points out, are these guys the original vogues.
