"If you are even slightly interested in street corner-style acappella singing or doo wop music, this is a treasure you don't want to miss. It is a remarkable album. "Street Corner Symphony" is worth the price alone! See you on the corner!"

"This is the best album of it's kind ever! Close your eyes and you can see the Belmonts standing on the corner of 187th street and Belmont Avenue in the bronx singing up a storm. Great voices but some overdubs. Check out My sweet lord/he's so fine and see why George Harrison lost the battle in court. This is a must for anyone."
I waited a long time for this

"I walked into a record store on the K Street Mall in Sacramento CA in 1975 and heard this playing - the LP. The song was "Rock and Roll Lullabye" and I didn't have any money in my pocket or I would have bought it. I looked for it for 20 years, no exaggeration, until I found the CD in Lansing MI. I bought it and the song was as good as I'd remembered, and the rest of the disc was wonderful - the last track being the most entertaining. If you enjoy collecting music by pre-Beatles pop and rock artists, you won't regret this addition to your library."

"This may be the greatest acapella doo-wop album ever recorded. True, it doesn't have much competion for that honor, but nevermind that. This is just a fantastic album of acapella rock and roll vocal harmony. It is a good mixture of old songs and new songs, all with great vocal arrangements. All the performances are great, but the highlight is the moving cover of B.J. Thomas's "Rock and Roll Lullabye". Special mention also has to be made to "Street Corner Symphony", which is a medley of 14 classic doo-wop songs in four and a half minutes. Highly recommended."
