Doo-Wop Groups: The Velours / The Fantastics

The Velours / The Fantastics

The Velours started out during the late 1950's without having any chart success. After  a disbanding that lasted 5 years, they reformed in 1966. They changed their name to  The Fantastics during a tour to England, scored a few hits and continued living and working in England. Please take a listen here and have a nice Wednesday:  Can I come over, (Love me) love the life I lead, Remember and Something old, something new
