The Starlites- Valarie - 1960

Some seriously heavy shit. Also going by Jackie & The Starlites, rightly so. The leader of this group Jackie LaRue was a serious bad ass and serious showman. This is pure entertainment folks. Jackie was known to literally get down on his knees, sneak a little stage tears bottle out of his jacket pocket and put on the works. Soulful, Doo-Wop waterworks. They just don't make em like this anymore kids. These old cats did not mess around when it came to showmanship. They gave you your moneys worth. I mean you know people left the show those nights saying, "man what was that guy's name? he really knocked me out man, breaking down like that on stage!" Of course the ladies really loved it, "oh what a dream, he actually cried on stage. I love a real sensitive man " . Anyway...take a listen and you'll hear what Im saying.
