5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS GROUP, December 11, 1999
By 
Ron Lowe (Silver Spring, Md.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jive Five - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Fabulous group from the late 50's & 60's and still going strong. Won't be disappointed with this CD with hits like, My True Story, Begging You, These Golden Rings and What Time Is It. Their only missing hit not on this CD is I'm A Happy Man. Eugene Pitt and The Jive Five, it doesn't get any better!

5.0 out of 5 stars Underated Doo-Wop group, June 15, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Jive Five - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Tremendous group with great harmony, lead singer (Eugene Pitt), sing-a-long tunes. All 14 tunes are great. I was too young to appreciate their music in the late 50's and early 60's but glad I discovered them now.

Those "boys" can sing up a storm. Where other Doo-Wop groups have one or two great hits on an album this one contains most all of the best hits.

Saw a 1999 video of their performance in Pittsburgh and influenced me to purchase their hits. They are still "jumpin", "jiving", and "fivin". What a great tribute to the music industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Time Is It?, December 5, 2005
This review is from: The Jive Five - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I was a little boy, but I remember my sisters (who were teens) played this record "What Time Is It". I could not stay away from the record player every time that song was played. Even the flip "Begging You Please" was just as hot. This CD is one of the best doo-wop cd's. My favorite is "Never Never". They were on Tv this weekend and they still "Got it". You won't be dissapointed.
