Review by Øyvind Dyrnes

The Cleftones' album, String Around My Heart, is a classic collection of doo-wop and R&B tracks that showcase the group's incredible vocal harmonies and soulful sound. Released in 1962, the album features some of the group's most beloved hits, including "Heart and Soul," "For Sentimental Reasons," and "Little Girl of Mine."

One of the standout tracks on the album is the title track, "String Around My Heart," which features lead singer Herb Cox's smooth vocals and the group's signature tight harmonies. The song's catchy melody and romantic lyrics make it a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners today.

Other highlights on the album include the upbeat "You Baby You," the soulful "Can't We Be Sweethearts," and the doo-wop ballad "Time is Running Out on Our Love." Throughout the album, the Cleftones' impeccable vocal performances and the lush arrangements create a rich and vibrant sound that is both nostalgic and timeless.
