These ReVels out of Philly were always really good. Excellent harmonies and unique melodies. They've always been one of my favorite groups, but they were terribly underrated and should've had many more hits than just Midnight Stroll. I still really love listening to them sing.
If you watched and listened to this video...Consider yourself lucky ,for this is a rare musical treat !!! this is one of the finest R n B ,doowop groups from the philly area to imerge from the area after of course the pioneer groups such as the castelles, cherokees , dreamers , capris , belltones ( Grand - Gotham ) records ...........but from the mid fifties on this was Phillies finest !!!??..............Erik Vonderlieth
Couldn't agree more. Especially the second half when they got that real guitar player, and we could hear them harmonize like champs. Still a wonderful group of Philly boys!
wonderful group;' talking to my heart' and 'false alarm' are classics. This video clearly shows a feature not always evident: that the excellence comes both from innate talent and continuous hard work.
Yes they all were from Philadelphia and originally were from the Richard Allen housing projects there is a documentary on RUclips about their journey and you can also see their live performance on American Bandstand of them singing their 1964 hit single " Midnight Stroll "
these guys are real friends I saw them about 20 years ago and after the show near midnight they were walking down the street still singing this was in Philly me Val and silvani how pleasant it was they always start the show with Talking to my heart I only hoped at the end when they were discussing the Atlas record it was vague sorry to say thanks for filming them might I add that Rinnie I did more for our live for this music than anybody else sad to say R.I.P. see ACTS of the apostles chapter 24 verse 15 the only hope for our dead loved ones

I think these guys are from Phila., where I'm from. I always love the song False Alarm with its great beat.

Nice version. Have you ever heard the Infernos version with Bobby L on lead.

Their first release was called Love My Baby on Atlas Records in 1953. It's available on YT and worth listening to.
