Dave’s Doo-Wop Pick of The Week: The Del-Vikings
From Wikipedia…
“The Del-Vikings, also known as The Dell-Vikings (the name was variously spelled with and without the hyphen), is an American doo-wop musical group who recorded several hit singles in the 1950s and continued to record and tour with various lineups in later decades. The group was notable for being one of the few racially integrated musical groups to attain success in the 1950s.
“Come Go with Me” is a song written by C. E. Quick (aka Clarence Quick), an original member of the American doo-wop vocal group The Del-Vikings. The song was originally recorded by The Del-Vikings in 1956 and was released on Fee Bee Records. When the group signed with Dot Records in 1957, the song became a hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart[1] and becoming the group’s highest-charting song. The song was later featured in the films American Graffiti (1973) and Stand by Me (1986)”
