I hope this works - had computer problems all day.
Best version I’ve heard!
Stumbled across this version years ago. Funny video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvsQ9hYKq7c
Its No GOOD!
It is obvious that they are lip syncing. :)
That’s a NO from me.
Different song, Same Style, but I always liked this one from the early days of the internet.

wait for the end...unless they cut another version ...
I was so impressed by the soprano in the background. Gives me goose-bumps.
Like Janet Vogel’s sung coda to “Since I don’t have you.”
Sometimes their voices improve over the years. A few years ago, I saw the Harptones perform, and they sounded better than they did on their recordings from the mid-1950's.
“it is also another case of lip-synching.”

Nope - as I said, even if there were no other clues this was live, you could tell by the build up to the big “finale ending”.
Listen to the end of original recording:

“There are certain trills that this video replicates perfectly to that original recording.”
AS i said, the lead singer hadn’t changed a thing, nor had his voice changed. There are some subtle differences, your ear isn’t fine-tuned enough to catch them (I’m a musician and am pretty familiar with such nuances).As I also noted, singers don’t have a full orchestra and hire back up singers that don’t sing if they are just going to lipsync.
If you want to see and hear what a lipsync of this is actually like, here. If nothing else, note the fade out:

sodpoodle posts joke threads, hence my comment. The link was also supplied.

real or lip sync’d ? sure sounds like the original see below
In 1979, I saw the Skyliners, with Janet Vogel, at a concert in Washington DC, just a few months before she too her life.
“After 59 years, Jay Siegel still loves ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’”
“I’ve always joked with people that I don’t actually speak in falsetto,” Siegel said. “Even today when I sing it at our shows, 30-40 times a year, I sing it in the same key as the original.”

The original recording by the Tokens was in 1962 …...
I grew up in Carrick. Janet and I took piano lessons from the nuns at St Wendelin’s. We played in some recitals together. She was two years older than me, but I think I was in love (at six years old!)
Still a shame - don’t know why she did that?
Billboard says it first charted @ 70 week of November 13 1961.

tokens had charted as high as #15 earlier that year with “Tonight I Fell In Love”
I totally screwed that up
