Biography :
By Larry Adair
Noel
Glenn and Larry Adair met in the navy in Corpus Christy TX where they
were stationed in 1960. Then They met Ron and Henry Edgington and
formed the group The Delatones. They played all around Corpus Christy at
different venues for a while, then they went to San Antonio TX to
record some original songs at Tanner N Texas (TNT) Recording Company,
owned by Bob Tanner, which they produced and arranged themselves.
Then they went back to Corpus Christy and a DJ heard the recording
and got the group to open at the memorial aditorium for Fabian and other
major artists. The Delatones played around Corpus Christy trying to
promote their songs and not long after that Larry Adair got transferred
to Kodiak Alaska and Noel Glenn got transferred to Florida so basicaly
the Delatones broke up.
Come to find out they didn't know that the songs were playing all
over Tx and California, Little Jeanie was #1 in Fresno and #3 in Texas,
but they weren't there to promote them. When Larry got out of the navy
he went to Florida where Noel was and they performed for awhile at the
base and other venues and they were going to try to get the group back
together again, but Noel found out he had tb and had to be in the
hospital for quite awhile. So the Delatones reunion never happened.

Larry
performed for many years with other groups and by himself, When Noel
was well he went on to perform with other groups and Ron & Henry
went their own way. But they all have so many fond memories of those
times to much to write on one page we could write a book or even make a
movie.
