In March, the Hollywood Flames were used to back up Joe Jefferson (as the Tangiers) on his Class recordings of "Don't Try" and "School Days Will Be Over." This is not the Decca Group but an evolution of the Flames Satellites.

Interestingly, David Ford was with the Decca Group that had previously used the Tangiers name when he recorded the classic "Tabarin" with Gaynel Hodge, Alex Hodge and Jesse Belvin.
