    Biography :

    Washington, DC singer George Torrence started singing doo-wop with local groups, first release was as lead of the Five Pearls on Aladdin on their release 'Real Humdinger' from 1954, making  a second recording with the Caribbeans, who came from New York, for the Galliant label in 1958.

    He fronted the Dippers who recorded the lovely ballads “Go Away” for King in 1960 and “Such A Fool Was I” for Epic in 1961. His aching tenor was beautifully suited to this style of singing. As the group harmony era gave way to soul Torrence continued in his musical career with the Dippers cutting a very fine 45 which was leased out to Duo Disc on the West Coast. The Latin Boogaloo of “Fine Foxy Frame” was the flip to the excellent deep soul cut Together At Last.
