Great Philly sound... Not sure which is the first pressing (Arlen or Gina). I lean towards Arlen being the first pressing but I know two collectors that are under the impression that Gina came out first. Even with the off key high note this is a fantastic ballad.

It's amazing how many singing groups came out of Philly, especially during the 50's & 60's. It seems every so often I discover another group. Regardless of where the groups are from the harmony, lyrics, and style of that era is phenomenal. Appreciate the post.

Kids singin' on street corners = off-key high notes!I always love how he does that and how nowadays cool stuff like that would, essentially, get left on the cutting-room floor.

Agree PJ, this is sweet no matter who pressed it first and the quality is pretty good for the time it was recorded..

I have this record on the Gina label. If you look in the dead wax, you will see the word "Arlen" scratched in. Which leeds me to believe that Arlen is indeed the first label. Just my two cents.

You were right. Up until the sour note during his falsetto I was enjoying this song. With that aside it was a nice ballad.

I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THESE RECORD LABELS. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE SEEN MANY BUT I GUESS THERE ARE SO MANY THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN. I MUST SAY THAT I'M SO TOTALLY FASCINATED AND A BIT JEALOUS THAT I DON'T POSESS THEM. THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH THE REST OF US WHO TRULY LOVE DOO WOP. RICH---THE DOO WOP WIZ
