Biography :
James Warren was part of the Youngsters and the Shields
Touring Group and promote "You Cheated" Which had become a national
smash. In 1960, James Warren went on to join a group called the Lions.
The original members were: Horace "Pookie" Wooten (second
tenor/baritone), Charles Jackson (tenor) [both Wooten and Jackson had
been in the "Zindy Lou" Chimes],
baritone Jerome Evans, and bass James Warren.
They recorded "Two Timing Lover"/"The Feast Of The Beasts" for Rendezvous and "The Yokel (He Went To Town)"/"Hickory Dickory" for Imperial. In the summer of 1960, when Charles Everidge (the Youngsters) got out of the service, he replaced Jerome Evans.

For their next
session they added second tenor David Cobb (another former member of the
Chimes) and first tenor Tony Allen (who had recorded "Night Owl" with
the Chimes behind him [as the "Champs").The Lions then recorded "No One" (led by David Cobb)/"Giggles"
(fronted by Tony Allen); these were released on the Everest label in
September 1960. The next month they were re-issued on James McEachin's
Mack IV label. Their last record was also on Mack IV: "Til The 13th
Month"/"Girl Of The World." The Lions Broke up in 1961 and re-formed in
1963, with Ray Daughtery, Charles Jackson, James Warren, and Horace
Wooten. Calling themselves the Resonics, they recorded three records
(one each for Unity, Lil-Larry, and Lucky Token).
