Short intro

Considered the holy grail of all R&B records by collectors, only 4 or 5 copies of this 78 . record are known to exist I DO NOT own a copy, . The Stormy Weatherl. Killer Doo Wop Vol. Stormy Weather. Street Corner Symphonies - The Complete Story of Doo Wop, Vol. The Five Sharps were a short-lived vocal group from Queens, New York. They are best known today for their recording of Stormy Weather. Stormy Weather is today considered one of the most collectible doo-wop singles ever released. After the group broke up, several of the members went on to join other groups, such as The Videos. In 1952, after months of performing at local functions, The Five Sharps were spotted by a producer and taken into a studio to record two songs. The group recorded their own. Stormy Weather is a 1933 torch song written by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler. Ethel Waters first sang it at The Cotton Club night club in Harlem in 1933 and recorded it that year, and in the same year it was sung in London by Elisabeth Welch and recorded by Frances Langford. Also 1933, for the first time in history the entire floor revue from Harlem's Cotton Club went on tour, playing theatres in principal cities. The revue was originally called The Cotton Club Parade of 1933 but for the road tour it.

Listen to Stormy Weather B by The Five Sharps - The History of Doowop Vol. Irv Rose had a used copy on commission in his New York City record store in 1961. He borrowed the record to play on his radio program, broke it and offered a reward for a replacement. That set off a nationwide search that made Stormy Weather the most sought-after doo-wop record. Over the next 15 years, only three copies turned up - one chipped, one cracked and one in very good condition. The third was sold in 1977 and is now valued at approximately 25,000. The Five Sharps released it on the single Stormy Weather in 1964. It was covered by The Four Casts, Quinteto Maria João, The Villanovans, Tex Beneke with The Miller Orchestra and other artists. The first re-recording of The Five Sharps version of the song using a completely different group. Request a synchronization license
