The Larkings are a quintet of singers from Brooklyn each of whom
have been harmonizing all their lives. One member was singing for nickels at
age five! Bass singer Bernard 'BJ' Jones has sung for the Drifters and The Persuasions.
What the five have created, after almost three years in the studio, is a labor
of love. The selection of twenty-one songs come mostly form the mid 1950s for
that was the golden age of doo-wop music which was relegated to the back burner
by The Beatles' and 'the British Invasion' of the early sixties. The Larkings
have consciously emulated the original arrangements as a tribute to the great
doo-wop groups of that time. So they give tribute to the Nutmegs, The Moonglows,
The Cadillacs, Five Keys, Spiders, El Dorados, The Dells and more on this very
special recording.
