Product Description:
Brooklyn's Chimes, led by singer Lenny Cocco, were a first-class vocal group, capable of such lush doo wop gems as "Once in a While" and "Summer Nights" and powerful, uptown ballads like "I'm in the Mood for Love," and if they never quite became household names after forming in the mid-'50s and breaking up a decade later, they left behind a concise and consistent body of work, the highlights of which are presented here in this generous 22-track set. The group's two chart hits, "Once in a While" and "I'm in the Mood for Love," are both included, but everything here is professional and high quality, and it shows that the Chimes were far from just being a doo wop configuration. ~ Steve Leggett
