The Harptones are an American doo-wop group, which formed in Manhattan in 1953.

The group never had a top forty pop hit, or even a record on the national R&B charts, yet they are still considered one of the most influential doo-wop groups, both for their lead singer, Willie Winfield and their pianist/arranger, Raoul Cita. The Harptones recorded for various labels, including Coed Records. The Harptones may have been the first doo-wop group to number a full-time arranger among their members, and Cita knew how to work to Winfield's strengths. 

The song "Life is But a Dream" was featured in the 1990 film GoodFellas, and can be found on the film's soundtrack.


"Those Wonderful Moments" 
Performed by The Harptones
Written by SEIFERT BRIZANT

Those wonderful moments
The first time we met
Those wonderful moments
I'll never forget

Although it's been a long time ago
I still recall the thrill of it all
Those wonderful moments
When love had its start
Each wonderful moment
Will live in my heart
I'll always remember
From now 'til time is through

Those wonderful, wonderful moments with you...
Wonderful, wonderful moments with you...

"It's You" 
Performed by the Harptones
Written by Raoul Cita and Mabel King

I have never given love a chance
Never had a taste of real romance
Until you came in view 
Now I can love like others do
For at last love has come to me

I'm in heaven just to hold your hand
Knowing all the time you understand
How I feel - and it's real
Darling, you are the ideal

Love for me - it's you

I have always been alone it seems
I've had love but only in my dreams
I never knew that dreams came true
'Til I - I found you
Can't you see the stars in my eye
When you see them you will realize
You were once the dream I knew
Now you are my dream come true
My life, my love - it's you...
Baby, it's you
Darling, it's you
Baby it's you
I'm in heaven just to hold your hand
Baby it's you
Knowing all the time you understand
Baby it's you
It's you - it's you

As I gaze at the moon
On this wonderful night
Our love, it will bloom
Under this shining light

For the moon know it's true
I'm so in love with you
As the stars shine their light
And the sky looks so blue
And the wind shows delight
As it fills us through and through
For the've shown me it's true
I'm so in love with you

I have but one love and that love is you
For all my dreams you've fulfilled
When you came to me, yes, darling, I knew
That heaven has sent you to me, my only friend
Soon the stars will depart
And the night turn to dawn
There's a thrill in my heart that will go on and on
For they all know it's true
I'm so in love with you
So in love with you...

"Our Love"
Performed by The Harptones
Written by RAOUL CITA and MABEL KING

And with love in your heart
Love that will never part
There are stars in your eyes
That prove you love me
And with love in your heart
Know that we'll never part

It is moments like this we call divine
At the thrill of a kiss
I am yours - you are mine
There's no love that's greater
Than this love of ours
It was made by our maker
Like the trees and the flowers

This i heaven on earth
This love divine
Take this for what it is worth
I am yours - you are mine
And with love in your heart
Know that we'll never part
I am yours, you are mine

"We Are In Love" 
Performed by The Harptones
Written by RAOUL CITA and MABEL KING

You hold my hand - I feel so glad
I touch your lips - with my fingertips
And all of a sudden we are in love

We walk together hand in hand
Then our eyes meet we understand
For all of a sudden we are in love

We go together like coffee and cake
Our parting would be a mistake
The greatest feeling in this whole wide world
Is to love you and have you love me
We'll be so happy just we two
There is no world just me and you

True love will conquer and we are in love
True love will conquer and we are in love

"Stay" is the shortest recording ever to reach Number One on 
the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States - at 1:39, although 
the label read 1:50. 

Later versions of "Stay" recorded by The Four Seasons (1964), 
and Jackson Browne (1978) also reached the Top 20, each selling 
over one million copies in the United States alone.
At the end of 1963, British band "The Hollies" covered "Stay", which 
gave the group their debut Top Ten hit single in the UK, peaking at #8. 

The inclusion of "Stay" on the soundtrack to the film "Dirty Dancing" 
in 1987 led to the song selling even more records than it had during 
its original release in 1960.  

A 1961 recording by "Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs", "May I", 
also released by Herald Records, eventually became another 
million selling record.  

Maurice Williams continued recording, touring, and releasing 
music through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. 
Maurice still tours, performing at over 150 show-dates per year
and is still very active in the music industry.

Lyrics: "Stay"
Written by: Maurice Williams BMI
Performed by: Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs

Stay
Just a little bit longer
Please please please please please
Tell me that you're going to
Now your daddy don't mind
And your mommy don't mind
If we have another dance 
Just one more time
Oh won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear you say
That you will
Won't you place your
Sweet lips to mine
Won't you say you love me
All the time

Oh yeah just a little bit longer
Please please please please please
Tell me your going to
Come on come on come on stay
Come on come on come on stay 
Come on come on come on stay
Come on come on come on stay

LYRICS
The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring,
And you appear in all your splendor,
My one and only love.

The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you're in my arms.
I feel your lips, so warm and tender,
My one and only love.

The touch of your hand is like heaven,
A heaven that I've never known.
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own.

You fill my eager heart with such desire.
Ev'ry kiss you give sets my soul on fire.
I give myself in sweet surrender,
My one and only love.
