One of our favorite all-male Doo-Wop quartets of all time, The Alley Cats first got together for some streetcorner harmonizing at Fullerton College (CA) in 1987, were the Disney house Doo-Wop band and won the LA Harmony Sweeps Regional. So we had our chance to be blown away by their dynamic and hilarious live act at both the West Coast A Cappella Summit as well as at the Harmony Sweeps National Finals. 'Greatest Hits' is of course a 'Best Of,' featuring winners like 'Don't Be Cruel' and 'Sh-Boom' from their best-selling CD 'The Doo-Wop Drive-In Live;' 'Remember Then' from the CD 'Strike #!;' 'Morse Code of Love' and 'Love Potion #9' from 'Cruisin';' 'Little Darlin',' 'Come Go With Me' and 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' (the best we've ever heard it) from 'The Cat's Meow;' plus two never released cuts, 'The Longest Time' and 'Unchained Melody.' Also included are 5 stellar cuts from their new live show, 'Bandstand Boogie,' 'Rock Around The Clock,' 'Sherry,' 'Higher and Higher' and Tennessee Ernie Ford's deathless top-40 hit 'Sixteen Tons.' And finally, the Cats' very first, very hot original Doo-Wop song, 'You Make Me Weak!' 'Greatest Hits' is a Doo-Wop party, Big Fun from first cut to the 17th-don't miss this one! |
