The Flamingos Voice Your Choice Treasure Island Oldies

The Flamingos are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees from Chicago. The group was formed by Jake and Ezekial Carey who met cousins Paul Wilson and Johnny Carter at a Hebrew Israelite congegration.

They recorded with various record labels including Chance, Parrot, and Chess/Checker where they enjoyed many successful R&B hits. When they signed with End Records, their debut for the label also became a hit on the pop charts. That was Lovers Never Say Goodbye in 1959. That same year they released a standard written in 1934. I Only Have Eyes For You became a huge hit and a classic record of the era.

And those two stellar records are ready for your votes on Voice Your Choice. Cast you vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Lovers Never Say Goodbye or I Only Have Eyes For You. I'll play the winner on next week's Mother's Day Special.
