Kenny Vance & the Planotones - Soundtrack to the Doo Wop Era: A Kenny Vance Collection
- If you are addicted to the doo wop groups of the 50s and 60s, then your musical compilation should include Kenny Vance & the Planotones, Soundtrack to the Doo Wop Era: A Kenny Vance Collection. Vance and his comrades, the Planotones, do justice to some of the classics of this harmonic eon in music. “Lonely Way” unerringly harmonizes forlorn lines like, “I go my lonely way, now that you’re gone. I’ll walk the lonely street from dusk till dawn.” On “For Your Precious Love,” Vance talks about what he will do to procure the heart of his beloved, with lines like, “For your precious love means more to me than any love could ever be.” “Sh Boom (Life Could Be a Dream)” is a song one could get up and jig to, with lines like, “Life could be a dream, life could be a dream…Life could be a dream. If I could take you up to paradise up above, if you would tell me I’m the only one that you love, life could be a dream sweetheart.” On “Please Say You Want Me,” Vance and his group implore for the warmth of a much coveted woman, with lines like, “Please say you want me too, to be your love. I have always wanted you to be my love. Since the stars above the sky then you will realize that you belong to me.” Soundtrack to the Doo Wop Era; A Kenny Vance Collection, by Kenny Vance & the Planotones, is a disbursement of songs from an epoch in music where harmony was king and an album true musical aficionados should not be without.
