RIP

The Moonglows did some great work. They were a cut above. And Harvey Fuqua was a survivor (until now, anyway...).

The ultimate doo-wop record here?

There's a Moonglows a capella record from a few years bavk that is rare, expensive, and worth every penny, just to hear those voices in that blend at those tempos. Rare beauty, it is.

Do long, Harvey, & tell Marvin we still miss him.

Couldn't agree more. The Moonglows were one of the great doo-wop groups.
