I found a treasure in LOOKING FOR AN ECHO..........2003-03-11

While brousing through Amazon.com's DVD section, I stumbled on the movie LOOKING FOR AN ECHO. Being a fan of Armond Assante, I read the excellent movie reviews that strongly encouraged buying the sound track. I ordered the movie along with the sound track.

My treasure was discovered when watching the movie; hearing the beautiful harmony that reached deep within me bringing back the years of my youth, when many groups harmonized ... when my mom and dad harmonized and me along with them and with my brother and sisters and friends. Not enough harmony is around today. I struggle to find the music I enjoy, music that has a melody that one can actually hum ... romantic music that makes one 'feel', tells a story, music filled with songs of love and inspiration, encouraging one to dream.

I had never heard of Danny and The Dreamers. I only wish I had as I have fallen in love with their sound, the sound that Kenny Vance and The Planotones expertly portray with their magnificent sound of Danny and the Dreamers. I will search for more Kenny Vance and the Planotones recordings and research the music of Danny and the Dreamers if they are still recording?

To Kenny Vance and The Planotones, I say ... don't stop now. Make more harmoneous music we can listen to. I have my LOOKING FOR AN ECHO album in my car and play it every time I drive. I love your sound and so does everyone who listens. Please ... make more recordings and thank you for making my kind of music. I'll be waiting for more ... and listening.

DOO-WOP NEVER BETTER!.......1999-11-25

Having grown up to the classic harmonies of the 50's and early 60's doo-wop, this album is an absolute revelation! Every time I listen to it, I am taken back in time. The interpretations of this fantastic group of these songs is unbelievably smooth. Kenny Vance has one of the finest voices I have ever heard--melodic, silky and powerful. His falsetto is amazing. No group was better--back then or now. As simple as the song "Looking For An Echo" is, to me, it is the epitome of the genre. If you love doo-wopp, buy this album. It will quickly become a favorite!

I am a collector of all oldies and doo wop music. When Kenny sings his track, Looking for an echo, it will bring you back to the old days, when music was for real. I can sit and listen to these songs over and over. Growing up in Brooklyn and reminiscing brings back unreplacable times and memories. No oldies fan should be without this c.d., in their collection.

Doo Wop In Its Purest Form.......1999-02-16

Heard the title track on a N.Y. oldies station 18 months ago and was absolutely floored! Took me 9 months to find the CD (pre-internet days) but the search was worth it! Growing up in Brooklyn N.Y. during the doo wop era, I know the H. S. they sing about and what every street corner group was doing to be heard. The lyrics recreate those moments exactly! Another great track is "Your Way". It captures the simple essence of slow doo wop singing the way it was done back then. Even the "cover" songs are handled beautifully, with slightly different arrangements to make them fresh again. Kenny's voice may not be as powerful as Jay Black's, but his style and back-up group do a masterful job on all tracks. A great addition to any doo wop afficianados collection. You'll be playing this one over and over for some time to come!

This brought me back to my high school days. I want more!! Great sound, easy to dance to, I feel like I should be on Dick Clark's Show for saying this, but it's true.
