Biography :

In 1958, Barry Pouls, Al Waldman, Lou Gaudioso, John DePalma and Joe Mozeff started a group in the 8th & Ritner ward of south Philadelphia. They were three Jews and two Italians, so they called the group "the Jew-Wops". A little later they recruited Lenny Rocco to sing lead, but a short time later, he departed to launch his own tribe, Lenny & The Rocks.  Joe Mozeff was shanghaied for lead chores, along with John DePalma who neatly filled the Baritone slot. Barry Pouls & Joe Mozeff quit to hook up with Lenny & The Rocks as support singers, then they come back. They Changed their name to the Premiers.

Clockwise from noon : Joe Mozeff, Lou Gaudioso, John DePalma, Al Waldman

Their new manager, Joe (Chappy) Casalnova  arranging an audition with local honchos Johnny Maderra and David White, who liked what they heard and herded them into Reco Arts studio pronto. Two melodies "Tonight" and "I Think I Love You" penned by Maderra and White were etched in the early spring of 1959. The single is released on the Mink label but Cameo showed some interest in the Mink record and released the single on the Parkway subsidiary.

Six months elapsed and the Premiers lumbered into the studio once again, but this time there was a new wrinkle- two females were hired to pump up the supporting vocal, to add some excitement.This aggregation warbled "Angel Love" and "False Love" into the microphones. A couple of months later it leaked out on the Best Label. DePalma and Joe Mozeff  left the the group and with a new singer named Johnny Francesco the Premiers make some appearance around the country.

Biography :

According to Marv Goldberg, at the tail end of the Packards' existence, Milton Turner, Ray Hayes and his wife Barbara were approached by Connie McGill, who was interested in forming a group. The result was a quartet called the Visions. They practiced a lot, but finally, in early 1961, Barbara Hayes left. She was replaced by Henry "Slick" Hill and Richard Graves.  The first record by Connie McGIll & The Visions was "Take It Like A Man" b/w "My Love Will Never Change" for Edge in 1962. The Edge label was owned by Rim records. Milton Turner didn't last too much longer and was gone by the time of the Edge recordings . The group next cut two records for the label Super.

In 1963 Connie McGill, Raymond Hayes, Henry Hill & Roland Parker, accompanied by Roland Parker & The Strollers cut one single for the small New York independent label Triode. Connie McGill and the Visions (now a trio of Connie, Henry, and Ray) went on to record many Soul sides for many labels throughout the 60s (Toy, Camille, Edge, Goldisc, Watch, Dynamic and United International).

Biography

The Chiffons, three young ladies from Los Angeles adopted their group name two years before the Celebrated Chiffons from the Bronx, NY scored big with "She's So Fine»". The group, Marie Love, Joyce  Chapel and  Carlotta Robertson, had assembled  while still in high school, taking the name Chiffons from a hat brand. Securing a recording session with Big Deal Records from Chatsworth, CA, the trio recorded two tracks,"Tonight's The Night", which was a cover of a present minor hit by the Shirelles and "Do You Know" (Big Deal 6003). The record charted on the KFXM chart in San Bernardino, CA. September 1960. The same month a lease deal was made with Zircon (#1012) label in Canada who wanted a piece of the action. "Tonight's The Night"  caught action in Chicago, Philadelphia, Portland, Phoenix and Fort Wayne and had climbed to #76 on Billboard before the year had ended. (In July 1962, a single was released by Ginger & The Chiffons on Groove (0003), but they are a totally different group.

  

Come September of 1962, we see the release of "Doctor of Hearts" on Frank Sinatra's Reprise label backed with "After Last Night" (#20,103). The session seems to have taken place at the United Recording Studio, 6050 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA. Billboard gave both tracks three stars and did not comment on the music. Finally we have The Chiffons on the New York based Wildcat (#601) in October 1962. Less than two months later, "He's So Fine" was released on Laurie Records, becoming a huge hit for the New York group, so no competing Chiffons groups remained. After "Tonight's The Night">, Marie, Joyce and Carlotta recorded as The Unforgettables, having one minor chart item, " It Hurts" "Was It Alright" on Colpix 192 in 1961. With the addition of Singer Oma Head, other recordings under pseudonyms were also released.

1989 - Jingle Bell Stomp (The Raindrops) / Even Now (Avenue D 16)

Biography :

After a single for imperial, the Raindrops broke up. Joe Nunez then decided to form another group, along with his brother Pat and two other friends, Joe Wren and Tony Carbone. they often frequented a bar called the Highway Lounge, which reputedly was changing its name to the Jumpin' Lounge. The Group thus decided to call themselves the Jumpin Tones.

   

The Group soon found themselves a manager, WNJR disc jockey Ted Kakuk, who took them to meet Don Davis, President Of Raven Records. "I Had A Dream", the Jumpin Tones first release on Raven, followed shortly. The record was not exactly a success , but nor was it a complete commercial failure either. It did well in a few scattered areas and actually reached the N°1 slot on the Dick Baldwin show in New Jersey, where it remained on the charts for over a month.

Before the group's second Raven release, manager Ted Kakuk came up with a gimmick that, although standard today, was nothing short of outrageous at the time. He had the boys go out and purchase theatrical costumes. So that they would appear to be travelers from another world, the planet Tarnarium and adopted strange, other world, name.

 

Along this bizarre lines the group worked out an entire routine for their live performances, which included spots on TV with Clay Cole in 1963, in one of Cousin Bruce's popular shows at New Jersey's Palisades Amusement Park, and in numerous other shows throughout New Jersey with Danny "Cat Man" Styles. The Same year, Raven released "Grandma's Heading Aid" b/w "That Angel Is You ".  Without success, the group inevitably disbanded.

Thanks to Joe Nunez JR.

Biography :

J. Mayo Williams was the most important black record executive of the 1920s and 1930s. From 1945 through 1949, he ran the Harlem label (based in New York City), and the Chicago, Southern, and Ebony label (based in Chicago). After a period of freelance producing, he reopened the Ebony label in 1952 and kept it going through the early 1970s recording the likes of Lil Armstrong, Bonnie Lee, Oscar Brown and Hammie Nixon.

  

J. Mayo Williams                                                                                                                               

The two records by The Eagle-Aires are Williams' only known venture into doowop. The group was first-rate, but Williams apparently didn't sustain his interest in the genre. Again, the balance between the singers and the instrumentalists is not what would ensue from an outing at Universal Recording.

1953 - The Stars Will Remember / Come Back My Love (Rama 21)

 

Biography :

The Bucaneers was heard by a couple of would be record producers who were students at Temple University, Jerry Halpern and Ed Krensel. In a few short days in November of 1952 a recording session was set up in a studio located in an aging movie theater in central Philadelphia. The group had practiced a tune written by Halpern called "Dear Ruth". The new recording label headed by Halpern and Krensel was called Southern Records. "Dear Ruth" was issued on Southern #101 with the  flip side called "Fine Brown Frame" featured The Buccaneers backed up by Matt Child & The Drifters, and the combination sides certainly made for a unique recording.

  

Southern Records now located in Philadelphia began as best they could, to support their new record by making the rounds of all the local R & B programmers in Philadelphia, and soon expanded to include New York and Baltimore-Washington. Their efforts resulted in some success as the Buccaneers began to sell in these areas. New York based Rainbow Records liked what they heard and soon took over national distribution for the record and re-released it on Rainbow #211.

(L to R) S.Johnson (Arranger & Pianist),E. Smith, J.Halpern (Manager), J. Robinson, George Goldner (Rama) & R.Gregory.   Seated : D. Marshall

Soon after Ed Krensel was drafted into the army and Jerry Halpern decided to carry on alone, The Buccaneers were offered to George Goldner and he signed them to his Rama Records label in September of 1953. Soon in the recording studio for Rama, The Buccaneers recorded the pop song "In The Mission of St. Augustine" on Rama #24. A typical jump tune of the time "You Did Me Wrong" was put on the flip side. The record did not do much on the sales charts and so Rama tried again with "The Stars Will Remember" and "Come Back My Love" on Rama #21 (released later despite the numbering system). The third and last single by The Buccaneers was also a failure in sales and airplay. This ended the recording career of the group.

Biography :

The Carollons were another of the early racially mixed groups to come out of New York City in the mid-'50s, but unlike the majority of R&B street-corner groups , the Carollons had a versatility that covered pop ("Hold Me Close"), country rock ("It's Love"), doo wop ("My Heart"), and rock and roll ballads ("Chapel of Tears").

The Emeralds

The group formed in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn as the Emeralds with Irving Brodsky, Artie Levy, Jimmy Laffey, Tyler Volks, and Robert Dunson (lead). By the time they became Lonnie and the Carollons the lineup had already changed to Irving Brodsky (lead as "Lonnie," age 16), Richard Jackson (first tenor , age 21), Eric Nathonson (second tenor, age 18), Jimmy Laffey (baritone, age 21 ), and Artie Levi (bass, age 17). Richie was black; the others were white and mostly Jewish.

The new name came from the fact that Eric had stayed at the Carollon Hotel in Florida during summer vacation and Irving just liked the sound of the name Lonnie. Though they loved groups like THE CHANNELS, THE MOONGLOWS, THE DELLS, and THE FLAMINGOS and rehearsed other artists' hits like "That's My Desire," "Sincerely," and "Oh What a Night," the songs they would eventually record were all originals, many of which the group members wrote themselves.

In early 1958 the group wandered through Manhattan's maze of music companies singing for whoever would listen. After a number of turndowns they came upon Mohawk Records at 1674 Broadway, where the proprietor Irv Spice was, in their minds, their last shot before they gave it all up. Spice liked the Carollons, and on March 3, 1958, the group started recording at Dick Charles Studios. A strong rock-ballad called "Chapel of Tears" was soon issued and became a Northeast regional area success.

   

 The group did the promo tour circuit of New York, Connecticut, Boston, and Philadelphia, and appeared on Clay Cole's TV show."Chapel" was to be the B side of "My Heart" (an outstanding rocker that deserved its own A side) but a last-minute change of heart made "Chapel" the promoted song. Their second single, "Hold Me Close," made the Carollons sound like the link between the '50s' FOUR COINS and the '60s' VOGUES. A pop ballad with full harmonies and little similarity to the style of their first record, it generated only scattered activity. The Carollons cut four singles then broke up. Eric Nathanson recorded a solo single under the name of Ricky Reynolds before joining The Vocal-Airs. In 1961, Irving Brosky (Lonnie)  cut a last single for Mohawk Records
