5.0 out of 5 stars For Doo-Wop lovers, October 7, 2004

Other than the Spaniels, I think the Heartbeats was one of the greatest doo-wop groups. This CD is a collectors item for sure. I love "You Way", "Crazy for you" and of course "A Thousand Miles Away". They later became Shep & The Limelights, but in my opinion, the earlier songs were better. This CD is a "must have". Doo-wop lovers will be satisfied for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Superb Groups, July 13, 2005

The Heartbeats and Shep and the Limelites were two groups with the same great lead singer, James "Shep" Sheppard. Both groups have great vocal harmonies and produced several chart hits, the most famous of which are "A Thousand Miles Away" and the answering "Daddy's Home". However, Doo Wop lovers will not be disappointed with any of the songs on this CD. Each cut is terrific, and at 12 bucks, this CD is a fantastic bargain. Listen to the samples of "Crazy for You", "Darling How Long", "Down on My Knees" and "People are Talking" to hear Shep and his partners at their best. If you love Doo Wop and glorious singing, you can't go wrong with this disk.

"The Best of the Heartbeats" is a classic! The romantic lyrics, the perfect harmony, and the wonderful lead singer, "Shep" all make this CD appealing to listeners of all ages and tastes.
