If you want to experience what it actually is to harmonise professionally, you must see The Flamingos live. Of course their wonderful grainy and soulful voices sound brilliant on their studio albums, in a live performance they are just on a new level, blending together, and creating a magical sound. The doo wop group have been together for over 60 years now, and they seem to have improved with age if that’s even possible. Their talent and dedication is entirely focused in the music, and their aged voices compliment the blues sound.
Of course there have been significant line up changes over the years, but the band have maintained their tight interactions and working ethics. The Flamingos hae received and been nominated for countless awards, and their song I Only Have Eyes For You was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame back in 2003. The group opened their show with the hit track Nobody Loves Me Like You, and they had everyone singing and swaying along before they’d even finished the first verse.
Their image hasn’t changed over the years, and the performance has the ability to transport you back to the 60s with the strum of a chord. It was a wonderful showcase of true talent and great writing.
