By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 20, 2011
Bring your sweetheart and make some memories at Valentine's Love Songs & Memories coming to the St. George Theatre on Friday, February 11th.
Eight well known doo wop groups will perform in this memorable event including Fred Parris & The Satins, The Original Chantels, Emil Stucchio & the Classics, Willie Winfield's Harptones, Cleveland Still & The Dubs, Johnny Farina of Santo & Johnny, John Kuse & The Excellents and the Devotions.Fred Parris and The Satins, best known for their song, "In the Still of the Night", which remains the definitive doo wop love song, and has frequently topped New York oldies giant WCBS-FM's fan survey for greatest record of all time.One of the first female R&B vocal groups to have nationwide success, the Original Chantels are also considered by many to have been the best female group of all time. Their choir-like sound and close-knit harmony brought a new dimension to rock and roll and R&B songs.
With original member, Emil Stucchio, the Classics made the Top 20 in the early 60s with "Till Then." The group's strength lay in their handling of ballads -- they love reviving '20s and '30s standards such as "P.S. I Love You".
Also appearing will be: Willie Winfield's Harptones ("Sunday Kind of Love", "Life is But a Dream"), Cleveland Still & The Dubs ("Chapel of Dreams", "Could This Be Magic"), Johnny Farina of Santo & Johnny ("Sleepwalk"), John Kuse & The Excellents ("Coney Island Baby") and The Devotions ("Rip Van Winkle")
