This one you have to hear to believe: baseball legend Dick Allen, during his otherwise tortuous first tour with the Phillies, had a passion for the doo-wop style of 1950s R&B.
And he cut this record in that style in 1968. Close your eyes, forget that it's a guy who could hit baseballs into orbit, and you might mistake Allen and his group for the Mello-Kings of "Tonight, Tonight" fame . . .
