PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE   –   “Mr. DeLuca stacked this show with two of the most respected groups of the  era: Charles Thomas’ Drifters and The Flamingos featuring  Terry Johnson. As always,  the names indicate that the groups feature at least one singer from their  heyday.

Mr. Johnson, who joined the Flamingos as singer and writer in 1956, is a  youthful 74 who looked like doo-wop royalty in his white tux jacket. Better yet, his voice was perfection singing  their signature  song from 1959, “I Only Have Eyes for You.” The  trio, on its Diamond Anniversary Tour, also treated the crowd to “Lovers Never  Say Goodbye” and “I’ll Be Home” and freshened the set with a snappy cover of  Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called  Love.”

FUNKY16CORNERS ARTICLE  –  Funky16Corners Article  –  “I can’t be one hundred percent certain of the first time I ever heard ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’ by the Flamingos, but I’m guessing it was when I saw ‘American Graffiti’ in 1973. I was only eleven years old, but as soon as this song came on the soundtrack it was instantly drilled deep into the pleasure centers of my brain.”
