    Biography :

    Co-written with the “5” Royales’ Lowman Pauling, ‘"Let's Have A Good Time" was also credited as being composed by Jay Thompson, David Eason, Charles Baskerville and William White on the label. The likelihood is that these were the group members brought to King by Lowman Pauling for this one-off 45. Eason and White had been members of the Glendells from Waycross, Georgia in 1959 who had performed with Ruth Brown on a show. She encouraged the group to move up to New York. Charles Baskerville had been a member of the Videos vocal group, who recorded on Casino in 1958 and 1959 and went on to be a member of Shep & The Limelighters. Maybe Baskerville and Jay Thompson teamed up with Eason and White and came up with this rocking blues vocal group gem.
