Did Tommy Hunt Sing On Boogaloo Party

[rixrecords]

we have him appearing in Farnworth on the 2nd Feb and I know he was in the Flamingo's but the boogaloo party guys were a different "Flamingoes"

Is that right ?

[Dave Rimmer]

Yes definitely a different line up of Flamingos

[Soulstu]

Recorded 6 years after he went solo

[Pete S]

They must have some link to the doo-wop group otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to use the name, even if it was just same management.

I think.

But he certainly wasn't in the group.

[Andy Rix]

Yes.... Sidney Hall, a former Shrine artist, was in the Flamingo's when that track was recorded

[Dave Rimmer]

The link throughout was the Carey family.
