- The Brooklyn Connection consisting of Tony Aquino, Tino Nelson Alvarez, Warren Tesoro, Cal Ng and Les Levine perform their DooWop styling on Ed Saleks Island Hop. Experience and expertise make the Brooklyn Connection one the top groups of that era. Recorded Live in Studio A at Staten Island Community Television, June 2017. Producer Ed Salek, Directed and edited by Rosemarie Furno, Sound by Roman DeSimone.
Back again 4 years later. Still a huge pleasure to listen to these 5 guys harmonizing on these tapes. Tino singing For Your Precious Love was especially beautiful today, but everything they do is just perfect and wonderful, which is why I keep coming back to this show.
I’m laughing my a$$ off. You guys are great. I’m 15 again. All I want to hear at my funeral is vintage Doo-Wop and Motown girl groups. Don’t forget the Chiffons with their Doo-Lang Doo-Lang. Don’t worry, I’ll be there. Wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Don't ever quit...If doowop disappears, I disappear.
This is by far the best talented group I've seen on this program. I just wish there was a band behind them and an audience giving them a rousing standing ovation.
Brooklyn Connection are fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍
Now this is doo wop. Unbelievable talent. I can literally listen to this music all day. Actually I do. Brooklyn new York. Flatbush Avenue. I'm listening to this music for about 52 years. Until the day I leave this earth!!!!!!!!!!
In this day and age, this is as good as it gets for performing doo whop groups. Keep the music alive!!!
Great group!! Beautiful harmonies, four excellent leads and a wonderful bass. What more could a doowop lover ask for!
You're great Brooklyn!! Thnx for keeping OUR DOOWOP alive !
Fantastic....just like listening to the radio in the 1950's. As a guy that did a little singing with the band back in the 60's, I guess what amazes me most is how well their voices have held up into their later years. I was never a smoker or drinker but my voice will no longer support most of the material I performed back in the day. Please don't let this music die!
Thank you for watching and enjoying my programs - you guys are the greatest
You guy's are Great, 💞 Where do you's perform at, would like to come and watch your show 🥰
I love Island Hop. My favorite Doowop channel for the past 9 or 10 years. Many thanks to you, Ed.
Three members from this group joined the Mello Kings - Tonight Tonight .
Absolutely FANTASTIC Ed. Brooklyn Connections is great. The harmony is amazing.

Since finding Ed Salek's Island Hop two weeks ago, I'm hooked on it. This group The Brooklyn Connection are SUPER...You guys are amazing...Love listening. Tom Catucci
good lord this is beyond fantastic! whispering bells is a tough song to sing & frankly the del vikings couldn't be topped - until now. your bass singer is outstanding. wish we had doo wop groups like this here in scottsdale, az.
Great perception Arizona doowopper. I replaced Clarence Quick (original Del-Viking's bass) and sang with the Del-Vikings for over 20 years.Thank you & Keep listening !Les Levine
I Love ❤️ that song it is so great
These guys are GOOD, Whispering Bells, my first record bought in 1957, by the Del Vikings 😃😃😃 Thanks

What I wouldn't do to be back in Brooklyn at those Friday night dances and hear do Woop all over again
Great lead....background in nice harmony
Woww great! Love this video!
You guy'a are grreat,with the music back ground. I used to sing with Hutch &Peter DeBenadetto (Johnny James) second tenor 🪖 🎤 ☘️ 🌿 🚣
...would love to see SiriusXM add Doo Wop to its 50s & 60s channels and have these guys on live...
I saw that show. it was the best...I could not get over how good they were. great job guys. Any cd in the making?
Great tenor lead,great bass and harmony too!!
Great music! I believe we're related by marriage Ed. I married Barry's son Ryan Salek.
Nice to meet you Victoria - take care of Ryan
Ed Salek I do 😉
These guys are great, what parts of Brooklyn are you guys from.
I am from park slope Brooklyn…..even my grand children love listening to grandma’s music….❤ my daughter talks about it, someone asked where she got this music…she said that is all my mom played….m son just turned 50 yrs old….how the heck I happen….must be old….3 of my grandchildren are adults…I am only 20 yrs old ….in my mind
just great- what part of brooklyn are they from ?
Anyone know who originally sang What Did I Do? 19:33
Don't know, but the song seems reminiscent of Johnny Maestro. They do a very good version of Stormy Weather.
Little Anthony & The Imperials.
