The El Domingos - Made In Heaven (Doo Wop)

To me this 45 is one of the best examples of group harmony ever made. The El Domingos were from Elmont NY, and graduated from Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park on Long Island. Originally known as The Spin-Tones, the group was discovered by Bert Salmirs and Wally Zober who were producers, songwriters, and owners of Chelsea Records. The group consisted of bass Sherman Walker, baritone Don Bencivegna, lead and first tenor Ernie Edgerson, lead and second tenor Ted Dralus, and lead and first tenor Roland Pickney. In October 1958 The El Domingos recorded in NYC “Lucky Me, I’m In Love“ and “Made In Heaven,“ both written by Bert Salmirs and Wally Zober. The single was not released until 1962 on the Chelsea Label. The single was re-issued on Candelite 418 a few years later. The group broke up in 1960 when Ted Dralus and Don Bencivegna enlisted in the service.
