The Best of the Flamingos
is an 18-track collection that compiles all of
the Flamingos
' biggest hits and best songs.
Best Of
ignores the group's latter-day
soul
hits and concentrates solely on their
doo wop
material, which makes for a stronger, more cohesive collection.
"I Only Have Eyes for You"
is the acknowledged classic, while
"I'll Be Home"
and
"A Kiss from Your Lips"
were hits in their own right, but the compilation proves that
were one of the greatest
groups with their lesser known numbers like
"The Vow"
"The Ladder of Love."
