"It Ain't Gonna Be Like That" by The Orioles

As you might surmise, The Orioles were a band from Baltimore, Maryland that rose to fame during the dawn of doo-wop. The Orioles mixed all sorts of other genres into their music, including jazz, blues, boogie, and soul. It is surprising they only had two hits, but they were big ones: "It's Too Soon To Know" hit #13 in 1948 and "Crying In The Chapel" bowed at #11 in 1953.

"It Ain't Gonna Be Like That" is just one example of how many other great songs they recorded. The band was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 1995, noted for their pioneering influence on the music to come.
