Although this isn't technically doo-wop, the performance is so incredible it's worth hearing.

A Beach Boys cover band in England. Outstanding! The acoustics in the room are perfect with echo.

And here were the original Beach Boys singing it during their 50th Anniversary tour.

Only the replacement for Carl's vocal on the 12-string in the back wasn't one of the group in the early days.

Amazing for 70+ year old guys.

As far as I can determine, this is the only contemporary clip of the group doing this song that is currently available.

I loved that kind of music when I was a kid.

I hate the canned applause on these PBS productions, but some of these cats sure can sing.

What a great story on Earl "Speedo" Carroll of The Cadillacs.

Just watched an interview by Chazz Palminteri with the lead singer, Vito Picone, where he says Dion readily admitted this record was the template for his solo career with songs like The Wanderer and Runaround Sue - and you can definitely hear it.

This was their follow-up to "(Where Are You) Little Star".

Geez what a great fricking doo-wop song.
