Biography :
Calvin Fair, along with Isaiah Jones, Wilson DeShields, Leo Coney,
and Dempsey were the Violinaires singing "Another Soldier Gone." The
Pressing plant personnel at Drummond misspelled the Group's name on the
label as Voilinaires. The same group of people recorded the four (4)
songs attributed to the Gales. Los Angeles label Swing Time issued
'Another Soldier Gone' with the credited artists as The ? Marks. In
fact "Another Soldier Gone" seems to be an alternate take by the
Violinaires. The group who sing on the flip of the record featured here
is in fact The Hollywood Flames.
