Collectively from North Philly, the Exceptions never lucked out though a few members eventually did find modest success in music. released the first Exceptions' single, "Down by the Ocean" b/w "Pancho Villa," in 1965. It was originally scheduled for 's label, but the deal never consummated. Members Jimmy Ellis, Earl Young, Val Walker, Russell Boston and Charles Hynes composed the group. Ellis, Young, Walker, and Boston had experience with and . The record created a stir locally so Records snagged it for national distribution, but it never took off. Switching to Cameo's subsidiary, Records, the group cut "A Sad Goodbye" b/w "You Got The Power" in 1966 as , but again only to local success. With its embellished strings, "Down by the Ocean" was released again on Records in 1968. Later, Groovey Grooves issued two of their shelved singles in 1972 to piggyback on the Trammps' Buddah recordings. Ellis and Young, two ex-Exceptions, were now , comprised at that time of members from the Exceptions and . The singles, "Baby You Know I Need You" b/w "The Look in Her Eyes," and "Danny Boy" b/w "The Shagg," didn't go anywhere. Eugene Jones sang with the Four Exceptions, replacing Young.

Big hit Philadelphia PA and Camden NJ.. Great stomp song
to bubblegumish@!!!
Jersey shore so great
This came out in Cameo in 1965! A few years earlier,it may have been a hit outside of Philadelphia.
Timeless Doo Wop, the forerunner of rock 'n roll!
AH! I haven't thought about this song in about 50 years!
Thanks. I didn't know it's a Philly group.
I met these guys back in the day.
that's true part of the trammps  growing up in philly I remember the geater with the heater jerry blavatt always played this song
I had this ear worm for the last few days and couldn't figure out who sang it
PJ Doo Wop  - Please join our FB site Heavenly Harmony.
WOW this is great!
Damn, I have been moving to this song for the last forty years.  Must have been referring to Wildwood.  Compelling sound, good group...Philly group. Upbeat and still movement provocative...
Saw them perform this at The Crystal Ballroom(L and M Caterers) in Manoa PA in 1965.
Listening to this now in Wildwood Crest. Very appropriate, great tune!
FANTASTIC ROCKER
Rest in Peace Jimmy.
Group member Jimmy Ellis (RIP 3/1/12) was later the lead of The Trammps. This track was reissued on Jamie; in fact, not being a Philadelphia, I only knew it on that label. The song is treat on any label! (Interesting that this, like The Bristol Stomp, has no bass instrument, just the singer and a big ol' kick drum.)
