    New original songs by THE FABULOUS DUDES, written and produced in 1950s and 1960s group-harmony (doo-wop) styles. Had they come out "at the right time," The Fabulous Dudes think these songs would have been hits. Never ones to give up the dream, we're extending the fun, excitement and beauty of that music into the present with authentic yet creative new tracks: lush ballads, rock & roll, even a little rockabilly. We DO make them like they used to!!

about

This song could be our story, and that of so many others, differing only in detail....

lyrics

Six teenagers coasting through high school – we thought we were so cool,
Singing doo-wops in the halls, perfecting the moves of The Fabulous Dudes.

Sixteen dances and dozens of parties put our music where our heart is.
We wanted to record the rhythm ‘n’ blues of The Fabulous Dudes.

Success came overnight; it was a thrill, it was a fright.
We did a package tour from shore to shining shore.
We lived the fantasy that rock ‘n’ roll should be life in perfect harmony

Six more singles and a couple of long plays – we were kings of the airwaves,
Living in style; the kids would go wild for The Fabulous Dudes

The first couple were hits, they made it up the charts,
But they slicked us up a bit and the records missed their mark
And then the music changed, and nothing was the same; we faded as fast as we came.

Sixteen agents and managers later, we know that it’s greater
To sing the way we feel. The harmony still rules for The Fabulous Dudes!
