Biography :

In 1959 Lonnie Carter and Winfred Gerald left the Otis Williams' Charms and started their own group, called the Escos. The others were George Carter  and Wilbert Bell.

  
   "The Escos" - formely "Impalas"???                                                                                                                                           

In June 1959, they recorded "Chick-A-Dee" and "I'm Lonesome For You," which were released on Eve Dodds' Esta label (out of Hamilton, Ohio) in July. Syd Nathan (Federal label Owner, a King Records subsidiary) got the Escos to record for him. The quartet recorded a handful of singles for the Federal subsidiary label from 1960 to 1963.

Otis Williams' then transferred to OKeh Records but without success, before signing to Stop Records as a solo country artist.
