The Tokens' unlikely alloy of doo wop and what was, in folk circles, termed "ethnic music," resulted in 1 enormous and enduring striking: "The King of beasts Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)." After that, it was all downhill for the group during their RCA tenure -- the biggest of their followup hits reached a modest number 55 on the charts. Wimoweh: The All-time of the Tokens rounds upwards all six of their chart entries, some of which -- similar "B'Wanina (Pretty Girl)" and "La Bamba" -- repeated the "Wimoweh" formula. When those failed, the Tokens returned to straightforward doo wop material ("Tonight I Met an Angel"), covers of other vocal groups' hits ("Sincerely," "A Thousand Miles Away"), and, finally, Embankment Boys-mode automobile songs ("My Friend's Auto"). The anthology besides compiles a number of choice cuts and oddities that fall in-between, from the gorgeous "Somewhere There's a Daughter" to the weirdly insulting love song "You're Zip Merely a Girl." At that place'south a "Fiddling Darlin'" retread titled "Dry Your Eyes" and several songs with "night" or "this night" in the title in apparent reference to the group'south showtime two hits. Wimoweh: The Best of the Tokens also includes three previously unreleased songs for collectors. For those who couldn't get enough of the Tokens, several additional recordings from their RCA period were fabricated available the same year on a budget collection, The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
