Darn it-now a trio of "song birds." Rest in Peace-and I love The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Carol Burnett used it many times on her show. "A wim-o-wep, a wim-o-wep."

I do miss those groups that had great voices in the Doo Wop era.

I guess I am pretty old.but I'm still.

I got to meet Jay Siegel, the lead singer of the Tokens, during the intermission of a concert. I told him that in my misspent youth in the early 1970's I was an oldies disk jockey and was playing their records on the air. He asked my what stations I was on and when I mentioned their call letters he reached out and shook my hand. He could still hit the high notes on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
