The entire album, Flamingo Serenade, is a masterpiece. All the tracks have that dreamy echoy atmosphere. Terry Johnson, the guitarist and arranger of the song is still out there singing his old bands tunes.
The Flamingos were one of the early 50's doo-wop groups. They were known for their great harmonies & choreography moves. They influenced other acts such as The Temptations later on. "I Only Have Eyes For You" is their biggest hit but they had quite a few good songs "If I Can't Have You", "That's My Desire", "Golden Teardrops", "I'll Be Home", "Lovers Never Say Goodbye" etc.
Classic love song from days gone by. I don’t remember what age I was at the time it was played on the radio. But I think before I was a teenager. Just beautiful, nothing better expressing true deep love for someone. It is as if the sun came out when before way gray, and filled up your heart with immense calm. And the do-wop of that era, oh man. :)
Ahhh yes, from ;59, THE slow dance & romance song of MY generation .----------That's Jake Carey on lead vocal. I always think of " American Graffiti", when I hear this classic. -----------classic production & arrangement ! ---------------MJL< 76 y/o
The distortion from the TV is not doing it justice. I feel like this song and the effect really transports you where you feel like you are on the streets and each of the singers is in a different part of the street. Like one is on a balcony, and one is across the street and it's just showering you from different places. It's just a great song where the Flamingos have the ultimate version.
Tsoo bab tsoo bab. Verry Verry nice, Mr Stan. Surprise for me, never heard this before, BUT I LIKE THEM. 👍😁 BEAUTIFUL VOICES. There is an album called....ARMCHAIR THEATRE, by JEFF LYNN from ELO, on it some verry old songs, like this one. One of my favorit records ever. I'm sure you'll like it, maybe you have to Google it 🤣🤣. Thanks man, this was GOOD 👍👍👍👍👍
This is a perfect song. Amazing for slow dancing.

Original is Dick Powell 1934, very different vibe, The Flamingos have the best version tho
Much better recordings available on RUclips
There’s no way you’ve never heard this song in your entire lifetime haha. It’s one of the most famous songs of all time!
