- Wow, this was at the TOP of my wants and I've finally gotten my own copy! No, this isn't Richard Barrett's group on Rama. Click this link to read an article on this record written by me: iestradasmhs19...
Unknown to most collectors, this record is a very beautiful cover of the 1955 hit single by Gene & Eunice. This single comes from San Antonio, TX - presumably from around 1964. The group sounds like a 2 part harmony backed by a strong Wind Section (comprised of Saxophones), and a marimba in the background. I’ve noticed a “swoosh” noise on the recording itself, as the vinyl is in immaculate condition. Theoretically, “This Is My Story” could have been pressed from a noisy dub. Notice too that this side - - the ballad is on the “B” side. My theory is that all copies of this sound marginal because it was dubbed from a noisy acetate; likely the group had already recorded this side at home, and went to record a “hit” side from the studio and used “This Is My Story” as the flip.
Oldies rule forever!😎💯
U said it victor 😊
I am grateful for DooWops4Ever for making this apparent confusion clear (at least, for me). When I first saw the name of the group, of course my initial thought was that it must be THE Valentines of "Woo Woo Train," "Lily Maebelle" fame. But then as I listened further, I didn't hear the late Richard Barrett's notable lead voice or, for that matter, the distinctive sound of the Rama label's house band. Indeed, this record sounds nice but a bit amateurish. Well, no wonder. To add to the confusion, there is, on this thread, another video of this recording but this time accompanied with a grainy photo of the Rama records group. No doubt, there are listeners who believe that what they are hearing is a genuine recording of Richard Barrett and company. To top it all off, there were several groups sporting the "Valentines" moniker in the 1950s and '60s, making it nearly impossible for collectors to claim ownership of a hard-to-find Valentines recording without first having to clarify exactly what Valentines group they are talking about. Oh, well. What group harmony ensembles lacked in name originality was more than made up with memorable tunes that have tested the vicissitudes of time and a plethora of musical genres; they are still a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for your comment.
God this is my favorite song the rythm and the lyrics just play so smoothly and peacefully
I remember this one a real goody!😎👍🏻
Great side, love those saxophones, awesome
Thank you for sharking this
thanks
Lovely song wonderful
Frank Zappa did a beautiful job covering this song. Check out “Putting on The Ritz: NYC 1981.”
I had a very similar experience with a particularly rare record. It's an EP called Ring Them Bells For ALSAC by Dick Conti. I can't find any results for Dick Conti, this record, or his fanclub address which is on the back of the sleeve. I plan on uploading them today. It was given to me by my late great-grandpa.
Killer tune, love it ❤❤❤❤
Awesome post 👌🎵🎵🎵
Great Song! Jesus Loves You My Dear Friends! God Bless You Always! John 3:16
Yes, Jesus truly loves us. I am so thankful he created doo wop singers and the most beautiful heartfelt songs.
My favorite doo wop is like the East LA style like Rosie and the Originals.. and that sort of doo wop style..Do you got any of the ladies singing that kind of style, can you post that up? I like this new one form 2018 by Thee Lakesiders called Parachute, some younger folks are keeping it going.
I don’t have many in my collection. Stay tuned for more records. Everything I post is from my collection.
@@DooWops4Ever hey, I don’t mean to bother but do you know why they disbanded, if you want to call it that? Ik homie went on to be a marine and Xilali (sorry if I butchered or completely misspelled her name completely) isn’t doing much, why’s that? Ik they uploaded a record a few months ago, but I haven’t heard much from both of them yk, unless there’s some bts stuff then that’s understandable
Michael, idk if you’re still interested but if you haven’t give Trish Toledo, Thee Sinseers, Joey Quiñones, Thee Altons, Durand Jones & The Indications, Thee Illusions, Adrian Carmine, Mayer Hawthorne a try

❤️
This song is hot😊
Re label: no such thing as King Bee...
Just drones.
Not a reissue
Is this the first version of this song. I’ve heard a version by the Four Lovers (the precursor to the Four Seasons).
No, this is a cover by a San Antonio group from the 1960s. The original was by Gene and Eunice
This is about the umpteenth cover of this song that was originally done in the mid 1950’s by the duet Gene and Eunice…..in my opinion the very best version

I love your collection. Do you have anything uploaded that's like soul piercing... or depressing in some sense... slow and melodic? Maybe you can lead me to something nice.

This is not soulful chicano fake advertising.
Maybe Rhythmandblues with doo wop?
Good cover of a Gene&Eunice and Mickey& Sylvia. Not the original Valentines of Rama fame.
