Biography :

Warren Joyner's first composition The Way to My Heart was recorded by singer Billy Storm in 1958 for Barbary Coast Records. Storm knew the songwriter John Marascalco since his recording of Good Golly, Miss Molly with his group The Valiants, with whom Joyner began to write doo-wop songs for The Marathons in 1959.  Joyner also founded the doo-wop group The Brentwoods with a few other 1958 graduates from Dorsey High School in Los Angeles. It sang alongside Warren Alonzo Willis and Larzet Collins as well as the sisters JoAnn and Roberta Wilson. The group named itself after a street where rehearsals took place.The recorded two Joyner 's compositions "As I Live from Day to Day" and "Midnight Sta". The last two songs recorded the Brentwoods in 1960 under the direction of producer H. B. Barnum for their only single release on Dore Records under the number 559. "Midnight Star" was also recorded by the Misfits (Released 1961 on Aries). While not identical to the Brentwoods' recording, both groups sound very much alike and may be one and the same.
