around dance numbers that they performed with extraordinary exuberance,
organized by Philadelphia singing star Little Joe Cook. A veteran of
gospel and R&B, Cook had led a group called the Thrillers from the
mid-'50s. In 1958, Little Joe began putting a group together around his
two daughters, Delphine and Dinelle Cook, Delores "Honey" Wylie, Joyce ?
and Clarence Smith, Bass of the Students. Billed
as the De-Los the group recorded "Lullabye Serenade" b/w "Pork And
Gravy" both sides lead by Delores Wylie on the Cedar label. In 1961,
