Biography :

David Ford (of the Hollywood Flames), along with Gaynel Hodge (a sometime member), his brother, Alex Hodge, and Jesse Belvin, recorded as the Tangiers, releasing two singles on Decca, "Tabarin" and "Remember Me", in 1955 and 1956, respectively. A 1958 single on Class, '"Don't Try", also credited to the Tangiers, actually features Joe Jefferson (formerly of the Platters) backed by the Flames with the same David Ford.
