Biography :
The
Equalos were brothers O. C. Logan and Willie Logan, Arthur Ford, and
Dave Hoskin. Their first release was on Mad in 1960. They recorded
"Yodelin" and "Patty-Patty." The Equalos' single on Mad 1296 failed to
generate any response. Their next single arrives three years later, as
The Equallos with an additional "l" in the name. "Beneath The Sun" b/w
"In Between Tears," was released in 1962. Going baroque did not generate
any sales, and in 1962 the group signed with George Leaner's One-derful
label. Much to the Equallos' dismay, however, he never put anything out
on them. In 1963 the Equallos recorded as Willie Logan and the Plaids,
making a two-sided neo-doowop single called "You Conquered Me" b/w "Say
that You Care," which appeared on Jerry Murray's Jerry O label. The two
thinly-produced sides with their exotic warbling (a bit off-key besides)
sounded dated next to the soul sounds that were emerging.
