Let one dare not say, "Doo-Wop, the greatest sounding music to one's ear." And, to see the Velours STILL putting it out there after all these years. AND, sounding terrific.
They are truly amazing. High notes still on with that beautiful passionate delivery. And the background harmony?? OMG...sooooo tight! I LOVED them in l956 and love them now!!!
I love these guys, whatever formation of the group they appear, but there will never be an equivalent bass replacing the great Charlie Moffitt. I always made him old gospel tapes quarter tapes. He used to call me up and thank me, but I could never fully understand what he was telling me because he had such a deep rich talking and singing voice!
Another Prime example of Outstanding Originality by an Outstanding DooWops vocal group. As good live as they were inside a recording studio. Five Stars
I worked at the Social Security Administration with Eulis Mason and he would often participate in lunchtime musical programs for the programs. A very talented and nice guy!
That's Bobby Jay as MC with Eulis Nason on lead vocals, and Bill Witt on bass, Wait! Is that Nelson Shields? and Ray Sanders on first tenor too..yep!..Just fantastic! From Brooklyn, NY
the first lineup to perform was charles jerome eulis and dennis. jerome left and joe shepard and nelson shields became charles moffits' velours. this lineup was together from 1980 until 1994 when joe became to ill to perform
I too was at the UGHA show the night Charles Moffitt was murdered on his way home. Meeting him was a great thrill. I'll never forget the unbelievable version they did of C'est La Vie!
@gilltorres Your right on the mark with your comments. I've heard them many times at UGHA and they actually sound fabulous. Charles Moffitt does justice to the Velours sound and the group could double for the original.
My man "Useless" Mason(only cuz he won't do Can I Walk You Home).Great group-Witt,Shields,Sanders and the great lead of Mr Mason.Doesn't get any better than this.
What a truly fantastic group... the Bass riff parts best ever of any doo wop group. fantastic lead and group background.....check out their live I APOLOGIZE song.
actually three original members helped form this group charles jerome and john pierson were part of the first lineup along with eulis mason and john sutton.pierson and sutton both left before they did any performances.
Ramos helped reform The Velours along with Charles Moffit and Eulis Mason. Mason took over the lead when Romey left because he was having trouble with his voice. They recruited me and Joe Shepard. Nelson Shields replaced Romey and that became Charles Moffits' Velours
But of course, we called it ROCK 'N' ROLL, not doowop. Doowop is revisionist history, actually a kind of put-down. The original rock 'n' roll songs were by BLACK VOCAL GROUPS. Same time as Elvis (even earlier).
DOO WOP LIVES ON FOREVER! OH, WHAT A GREAT ERA! GOD BLESS!!
Some really great harmonies. They sound wonderful.
My favorite of all time. Great sound
Eulis is absolutely smokin' on this number...Great live performance !
My Grandfather is in this band, God rest his soul
Who's your grandfather? Donald is my uncle.
Oh how I love this song!♥️ Such amazing vocals. I have this on my playlist and play it over and over.
One of the greatest rock 'n' roll songs of all time.
Yes indeed! And it's grammatically incorrect.
@@geezergonewile That's what i said to my girlfriend: "Can I come over tonight."
The lead singer has a beautiful voice. He just st cool & smooth. Loved❤🎉

Great to see the Do-Wop group, especially since the passing of Donald Haywoode.
One of the absolute best!
Wow!..This is the Real Thing!

Have you heard the orig guys lately?
The baseman is handling his business, but I keep thing of how Gerald Gregory would have killed this
no that was the original lead jerome ramos. this is eulis mason jr on lead he replaced jerome in the early 80s
THE THING IS..WHEN SHE SAID YES...SEE YOU AROUND 8...COME AROUND TO THE BACK DOOR
thank you for all the positive feedback we are still together and ready for work this is dennis the 2nd tenor

@doctordoowop What a drag to loose him he was as classic a bass as this was a classic doo-wop. RIP Charles.
Only 576 people ?
is that jerome on lead?
Beautiful! Is that the original lead on this song?
You can hear that it is.
I did some research after my comment and it appears that Jerome Ramos was the original lead. Eulis sounds just like him. Amazing.
So great slow dancing with your honey. Dip dip!
HAVE SANG WITH WITT AND MASON-NICE-
Is that Eulis Mason singing lead ???
Lee Gordon-Asch yes! My grandfather past away last October he was phenomenal
Yes!The late and great lead singer of The Velours of the 80's.Thanks
What a shame to lose a man like Charlie Moffit best bass man eva .....This guy does a good job not like charlie though!!!!!!!
great group great song horrible quality recording
charles was murdered in 1986 december 7th
