Does anyone know the name of the group and the song that is at 6:00 minutes exactly on the link below? It is part of that documentary.

the song is ya-ho by the viceroys. different version to the one('s) i know so maybe it's someone else singing it? lots more knowledgeable people on this forum who should be able to confirm.

Thank you. Knowing the song name I found a version by The Jays that I just happen to have that I think might be it. If anyone else can confirm that, please do.

I believe it's Gladiators "Jah-O" on Prince Tony's TR Groovemaster 7" which I have a copy of - great version of that tune!

Hi !

I know it's an old topic, but I don't find any answer anywhere else...

Does anyone knows who's the vocal trio @ 2'00 in this video ?

Thanks,

maybe those guys didn't make it through auditions & never made a record, so we never know their names?

Song might be called 'longest liver' or 'soon come'?

Excellent info there BMC. I think I like the audition version rather than the recorded one though.
