Maurice Williams with Stay... the Tokens singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight...the Jarmels  doing A Little Bit of Soap... the Skyliners  This I Swear   ... the trip to Charleston was well worth it.. brought back some great memories growing up in Brooklyn listening to the 50's and 60's music when it was...
