AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC DOO-WOP R&B 78 FROM THE DEL-VIKINGS
COME GO WITH ME
B/W HOW CAN I FIND TRUE LOVE
"Dom, dom, dom, dom, dom-dee-doobie, dom......" Probably the most familiar phrase in all of doo-wop and maybe music from the 1950's. A phrase created by the legendary Del Vikings (also spelled Dell-Vikings and Del-Vikings) - one of the most successful doo-wop groups of all time. Unlike many other original groups, the Del Vikings had two big hits and continued staying power for years.
The Del-Vikings were formed in 1955 by members of the United States Air Force stationed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with Clarence Quick, Kripp Johnson, Don Jackson, Samuel Paterson, and Bernard Robertson. Because all of the members were in the armed forces, the group constantly ran the risk of being disrupted by members being stationed in other places. This happened soon after the group's forming when Paterson and Robertson were sent to Germany. They were replaced by baritone David Lerchey, the group's first white member, and tenor Norman Wright.
The origin of the band's name is unclear. Some sources say that the band members had read about Vikings with the prefix "Del" being "added to give the group name an air of mystery." Another suggestion is that Clarence Quick had known of a basketball team in Brooklyn, New York, called the Vikings and had suggested the name. The name may also have originated from the popular Viking Press, publisher of paperbacks that group members liked to read.
Originally signed to Fee Bee Records (1957), their first hit came in 1957 with the Wright-led "Come Go with Me". Soon after, Jackson was out, and was replaced by Gus Backus, the group's second white member. The group quickly found itself in greater demand following the release of "Come Go with Me", which propelled the group into the Top 10 on Billboard's Top 100.
