I saw them perform Swanee live at the Apollo in New York. It was great.  |

Molly also probably heard Old Man River many times, right Molly? It was a mainstay for many years. They would do one or the other but not both. I recall one show with Swanee in N.J. and the rest with "River" . Both highlited Melvin's talent and the groups harmony. It also allowed the guys to catch their breath. The songs were changes of pace from the rest of the act. No one ever did it better.

Molly, Old Man River was sung more often than not. It gave Melvin more stage. The album that you had, was it either "Mellow Mood" or "Live". I still have all my original LP's. Now, that is old!P.S. I backed them up with cd's that have been issued.

I have not seen them perform O'Man River live, but I do have a DVD with them performing it. I believe it is on The Temps and Top's. It's a short clip and it isn't the Classic 5. So for me it is just okay, you truly miss EJK's voice. Check it out. The DVD is alright, because it has other footage of the Classic 5.  |

I love that clip. The harmonies were impeccable and the choreography was perfect. There's a spot on my tape that is probably worn out from me rewinding this particular clip so often. *whispering* But those dinner jackets have got to go!!! ;D ;D ;D
