This installment in the spate of releases showcasing Philadelphia's Cameo Parkway label focuses on the Orlons, a three-woman, one-man quartet that blended soulful doo-wop and R\u0026amp;B in the manner of contemporaries like the Shirelles and the early Miracles. The Orlons offered up several playful, rhythm-driven dance songs (\"The Wah-Watusi\"), but they are at their best on uptempo pop like \"Don't Hang Up\" and dramatic ballads like \"The Conservative\", which let lead vocalist Rosetta Highwater shine. Remastered sound and fine liner notes make this release a treasure for fans of doo-wop and R\u0026amp;B from the early '60s.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000B8I8YQ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000B8I8YQ.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:The Orlons\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dream Books Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41529613254714,"sku":"DBV.B000B8I8YQ.N","price":10.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6011\/0138\/files\/B000B8I8YQ-0.jpg?v=1784176889","url":"https:\/\/shop.dreambooksco.com\/products\/the-best-of-the-orlons-1961-1966","provider":"Dream Books Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
