I’ve been fond of so many over the years, but I think my all time favorite of any genre has to be The Limelighters. Their’s was the sound that filled the house during that critical pre-teen patterning. Three very unique voices combined into a luscious three-part harmony that was so much more than any single voice, even Glen Yarborough’s, tho he went on to a successful solo career. Combine that sound with Alex’s stunning instrumentals and Lou’s nutzoid bridging commentary and performance…(his version of “Have Some Madeira, m’dear is an all-time best.) … it’s just hard to beat. It’s so very thrilling to have something like YouTube where great performances by so many artists are being revived. Thanks to my “little” brother for putting me on to these videos. The following is absolutely amazing quality…and I absolutely love the second song. It’s fun to see them at all stages of their career and different circumstances. There’s a reunion one up there from the late 70′s early 80′s that’s home vid from a nightclub. They all have beards and of the three, the voice that’s gotten the most interesting belongs to the good-looking Alex.
