Cornerstone, five guys with deep roots in the original Philly doo-wop scene, sings classic urban harmony, the sound of the city. Lead singer Harry Schmidt, a local Philadelphia legend, was dubbed "The Golden Voice," and he's not on the streets anymore, but he and the boys are still movin', groovin', teasin', pleasin' and cooking up a storm. The group's selections for this CD concentrate on the classic vocal groups of the 50s and 60s, 18 songs, many we haven't heard before. Some favorites: the title tune, The Drifters' "Your Promise To Be Mine," The Solitaires' "Magic Rose," The Chariots' "Gloria My Love," The Fabulaires' "While Walking," The Dominoes' "Stardust," The Tymes' "So In Love," The Five Keys' "Let There Be You," The Rob Roys' "Tell Me Why" and The Skyliners' "Warm." A look at some of the not-as-well-known Doo-Wop titles from the 50s and 60s, and some of them are gems! |
