Tony D'Ambrosio 1st Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Golden Groups (1989)	The "Flamingos" on Times Sq. were an a White a cappella group (or possible 2 White a cappella groups) and were NOT the Flamingos from Chicago (IL) who are best-known for their recordings on Chance, Parrot, Decca, Checker and End. Slim Rose named the group(s) the Flamingos to help sell the record, though when you listen to either side of the Times Sq. 45, you;d have to be deaf to believe they were the Chicago group.

Tony D'Ambrosio 1st Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Golden Groups (1989)	Your linking the Gents on Times Sq; to Dee Clarks is TOTALLY WRONG. The Gents on Times Sq. were a short -ived a cappella group from Glen Cove, Long Island (NY). Their members were Charles Davis (Lead), Anthony Williams (Bass), Bob Hicks (Baritone), Tom Hicks (2nd Tenor) & Johnathan Hicks (1st Tenor). They were all students at Glen Cove High School. Dee Clark (Delecta "Dee" Clark, Jr.) before going "solo" was the Lead Singer of the Kool Gents (from Chicago, IL). They had no connection to the Gents on Times Sq. Tony D'Ambrosio Brooklyn, NY
Tony D'Ambrosio 7th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Apollo Acappella Audition Album (1988)	1 - This album is also available on a cassette. 2 - The Avalons on this album are NOT the "Heart's Desire" group from Newport News (VA). They are a totally UNKNOWN group. (Some thought that they might be the Gentlemen who also are represented on this album, but that is not the case.) Tony D'Ambrosio Brooklyn, NY
