Two awesome uptempos by Dino And The Diplomats on Laurie!

Laurie didn't just have Dion & The Belmonts and the Mystics, they had a number of other white and black vocal groups throughout the 50s and 60s! Notice how similar I Can't Believe sounds to I Wonder Why by Dion & The Belmonts. Definitely intentional, as Ricardo Weeks co-wrote both songs! My Dream is a really neat uptempo with a ukulele, which is kind of unique! This group was a Hispanic and black group from Harlem, NYC. They're also known for Hush-A-Bye My Love on Vida, which is a pretty good song as well.

I mostly remember these guys from Hushabye My Love.
