Freddy Velas and the Silvertones

"Oh Rose Marie"   single

(Vintjärn Records)



The present scribe reserves real estate in his heart for Doo Wop, the street-corner harmonizing that, in its halcyon phase, transported quotidian quartets to deserved renown. Italian Freddy Velas and pitch-perfect amicos are exactly the crew required to make present-day idioms draw back, that a vocal mode with enduring attraction can assume center spot. Their renderings are adroitness for the ears, populated by spot-on tones of pearly glow.
