5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting early 60s!!, February 16, 2004

By	W. Hutchinson "whutchin2" (Perth, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD arrived today. I have been waiting for years to relisten to 'Doo-Wah-Diddy'. I was excited in the 60s by their sound and never understood why the Manfred Mann version overtook this one. The CD has a number of very pleasant (if ordinary) tracks plus quite a few rockin' songs. Typical songs of the early 60's. The lead voice is tremendous, and the unedited versions of 'Tell Him' and 'He's Got the Power' are great. Well worth the buy to hear this under-rated group again. Doo-Wah-Diddy is still my favorite though.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting early sixties group, April 18, 2003

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The title track of this compilation provided the Exciters with a huge American hit. More recently, their version of Tell him featured in the movie The big chill. Back in the sixties, Billie Davis, a British singer, covered the song and had a UK top ten hit with it.

The Exciters were even unluckier with Do wah diddy. It was only a minor American hit for them, but Manfred Mann covered it as Do wah diddy diddy and took it to number one in Britain, America and other countries around the world.

Those are the two most famous songs here, but the Exciters also had minor American hit with He's got the power and Get him.

This compilation contains most of their recordings for United Artists. A few could not be located otherwise they would also have been included. Their sound was typical of girl groups of their time. Others were more successful, but if you enjoy this type of music and you've already bought the obvious names, the Exciters are worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Exciters: Wonderful 1960's girl group., June 8, 2007

By	3000 "Ed" (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

The Exciters is a wonderful 1960's girl group to have in the archives. The "Tell Him" is very beautiful. At least in that era, a girl loved her boyfriend very much. Yes, there are some OK girl groups of now. Nowhere near to the Exciters.

Cherish, Ciara and Rihanna are nice for the mid-2000s. The Exciters will always have the girl group power to this day.
