♦♦♦ 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.”
♦♦♦ Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – “The Skyliners had a tough act to follow coming after Terry Johnson’s Flamingos, who had their own smash hit in 1959. Johnson, two years older than Beaumont, at 70, is one smooth operator, with a tenor that’s as creamy as it gets. It’s astounding that his vocal on the sublime “I Only Have Eyes for You” could sound so close to the way he sang it at 20. And you should have seen the outrageous black-and-gold suits!
