Biography :
R&B duo Gene & Billy teamed singers Gene Ford and Billy Boyd, who first began collaborating as lead singer & member of the Santa Monica vocal quartet the Chanters along with Alan Boyd (Billy's brother) and Ethel Brown .When the group broke up, Gene & Billy cut "Zerlene " "It's Hot" in 1955 on the short lived Spark label. Spark Records was the brainchild of the clever Jerry Leiber and the gutsy Mike Stoller.
The Same year, Gene & Billy cut two Singles for Federal, King Record's subsidiary, under the name of the Cats.
