This somber classic sets the perfect mood for a New Years Eve that's steeped in both celebration and melancholy. "What Are You Doing New Years Eve?" was written by Frank Loesser in 1947 and is performed here by Baltimore, Maryland's own, The Orioles in 1949. It reached # 9 on Billboard's R&B charts that year. Lead by tenor Sonny Til, The Orioles are considered one of the first R&B vocal groups which helped paved the way for the doo-wop groups of the 50's & 60's!
