Biography :
In September 1956, Bobby Byrd recorded some sides for Atlantic with a group billed as the "Crescendos". The others were Earl Nelson (tenor with the Hollywood Flames and the voices with Bobby Byrd and many other groups) , Bobby Relf (lead singer of the Laurels) , Prentice Moreland (lead singer of the Chanteclairs) and Mitchell Alexander (bass of the Feathers).
Atlantic released "Finders Keepers" b/w "Sweet Dreams". January 1959 saw a re-release of Bobby Byrd & the Crescendos' "Sweet Dreams" on Atlantic. This time it had "I'll Be Seeing You" as the flip.
