I knew your grandpa. My dad sang first tenor after Opal Courtney left. My dad was Carl Rainge.

These guys all went to Roosevelt High School in Gary, Indiana in the early 1950s. They definitely made everybody in Gary and Lake County proud. Great voices. They are truly missed.

Love the spaniels, Pookie Hudson, may he R.I.P. and that awesome bass singer, Good night sweetheart, old school singers were the best.

My papa used to sing this song to help us fall asleep when we were little girls. When we wanted him to keep singing we would do the "DO DO DO BOOP BOOP" part over and over and when we slowed and stopped he knew we were sleeping. Adorbs.

The "Boop Boop" part made me laugh. :-) They don't say that, it's just: "Do do do, do doooo". But still, that's a great story, and I'm glad my uncle and his group created such fond memories for you and your family.

Its so sad that Pooky had to die,like all the others that have left us in the past!!!Not just Doo-Wop but Rock & Roll as well!!!! LOVE THIS MUSIC..........Daisy Mae.

Thank you 💞for the good night song so prescious you are to me baby I love ❤️ you darling so much

That Bassman is nun other than Gerald Gregory . May he also R.I.P.

I saw The Spaniels at a doo wop concert way back in the 70's. They were the last of 7 acts to perform. When The Spaniels took the stage, the bass singer was totally drunk. But he didn't miss his cue at the beginning of the song.

Gotta love this song--reminds me of saying goodnight to my high school girl on her porch many times, hoping her dad was asleep, usually was thank goodness. Long time ago, now just memories will have to do.

the group of the era,r.i.p. all members.g.b.them.

Good song the first song I ever learned on an alto saxophone . Had some good songs in their day but I think this one is the best. R.I.P. Pookie. They don't play music like that any more

They were Gary's first megastars, (before the Jackson 5, Deniece Williams, Jesse Powell, etc.) and they were one of the first 2 groups signed by VeeJay Records (who later recorded The El Dorados, The Dells, and even THE BEATLES recorded their first American records on that label). It makes me sad that more people aren't aware of The Spaniels' contributions to Gary, and to American music collectively (Doo Wop. R&B, Rock, and some even say they wrote the first Rap record- 'Play It Cool'). Their legendary bass, Gerald Gregory, was my uncle. I've been reaching out to some people, trying to get their story told.

I can confirm that- that is definitely Gerald Gregory (he was my uncle). Their historian, Richard Carter, wrote that his opening bass-line "Do Do Do, Do Dooo" were the most famous five notes in American Pop Music History. Uncle Gerald was starting to fade (from 4 decades of hard living) when this was recorded; but he was a Spaniel until the end. He's got my vote for the greatest bass of all time (most seem to have him 2nd, but as long as he's in your top 3 I won't argue with you). :D

Richard-for my money Gerald was No 1.And yes he was as the story goes a hard drinker and life on the road wasn't always easy.He told me he lived in Brooklyn for some time(I 've lived here my whole life).I asked him at Westbury what tunes he liked to sing other than Spaniels songs and he went right into Masquerade Is Over.A nice nice gentleman IMO his So Deep Within is one of the all time beautiful songs.

Hi L.

When was the phrase "They broke the mold" ever more appropriate?

Lips extra crusty like shit XD but seriously this song is awesome

American Graffiti anyone?

To bingcherry11 he's dead

I was clearly born in the wrong era, of course I love new technologies and all that stuff, but I can barely enjoy today’s music (if we can call it that way…)!

Love the spaniels, Pookie Hudson, may he R.I.P. and that awesome bass singer, Good night sweetheart, old school singers were the best.
