Doo Wop music 1950's/early 60's

Another thing I learned at those oldies shows is that Frankie Lymon had a brother, Lewis Lymon, who performed with his own group called Lewis Lymon and The Teenchords during the same time period that Frankie enjoyed his biggest success. Here are a few from Lewis Lymon:

I'm So Happy



Please Tell the Angels

Love this one.

I really like The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes For You" too. In fact I just heard it while watching the movie "American Graffiti"...

Thank you ceejayqb for posting your songs. Just watched the "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" movie, loosely but scarily based on Frankie Lymon's life. I enjoyed it, learned from it, and now can appreciate this song a bit more...

Have there been any recent incarnations of "Plattters" or "Drifters"?I know there have been scores of them over the years,though some not including ANY real original members.
