Biography :

The Avalons emerged from the same vibrant Newport News, VA, R&B scene that also yielded the Five Keys, the Leaders, and the Chateaus. According to Marv Goldberg's profile in the March 2002 issue of Discoveries, the group's roots lie in a versatile R&B and gospel group dubbed the Chimes, formed in 1947 by tenor/baritone Charles "Bobby" Crawley, tenor Ulysses Hicks, baritone Leroy Harris, and bass Bernard Purdie. Hicks resigned in 1948, later resurfacing in the Five Keys, and with new tenor Maryland Pierce, the group renamed itself the Four Bees, becoming a major favorite on the local nightclub circuit.

The Avalons (1)

When Pierce joined the Five Keys in 1950, erstwhile Key Edwin Wall replaced him in the Four Bees -- Harris also exited soon after, prompting the additions of tenors James Dozier and George Cox. When Wall left the group in early 1951, he was replaced by another Five Keys alum, tenor Rafael Ingram, and at this point the Four Bees rechristened themselves the Encores; the following year, the group toured Canada as part of The Silas Green Show R&B revue, so enjoying the Great White North that they spent about five years touring the nation's eastern provinces.

In the fall of 1955, they hired Five Keys manager Fanny Wolff to oversee their career as well, and almost immediately she won the group a deal with RCA's Groove subsidiary, prompting one last name change to The Avalons. Just days before their first-ever recording session, Crawley's wife fell ill, so he was temporarily replaced by the Cues' Edward Barnes for the studio date -- although two songs were recorded, neither merited official release, and The Avalons returned to Canada in advance of their next session. This time Crawley assumed his rightful place and the gorgeous "Chains Around My Heart" was released in February 1956 -- "It's Funny But It's True" followed in October, but neither record was a hit and Groove terminated their contract. The Avalons again decamped to Canada, releasing "You Are My Heart's Desire" on the tiny Canuck label Sandryon in 1958; a more polished version of the song, abbreviated to simply "Heart's Desire," appeared on Unart about six months after the group split in the spring of 1958. Another unreleased session yielded "You Can Count on Me," released on Casino in early 1959. In the meantime, Crawley returned to Newport News and joined the Five Keys, while Purdie later signed on with the Platters.

Songs :


Chains Around My Heart         Ooh! She Flew              It's Funny But It's True

Ricky Vac & The Rock-A-Ways

Biography :

Ricky Vaculig, a 16-year-old Berea High student, decided to start a band after hearing Bill Haley’s "Rock Around the Clock" at the drive-in. Gathering a few fellow classmates and others in 1956, Ricky shortened his name and created the band, Ricky Vac and the Rock-A-Ways, a vocal and instrumental group . Members included Paul Ticherich, Jimmy Harris, John Magar, Jimmy Gillahan, Tommy Esian and later, Skip Hadden. They were also a racially integrated band - one of their guitarists, Jimmy Harris, was black.

When Ricky was just sixteen he went to Cleveland and recorded a song he wrote titled "My Baby's Gone". Jack Scott picked it up and released it on one of his albums and it became a national hit. The Rock-A-Ways wrote and played their own original music. Jimmy Harris (the bands guitarist) composed three instrumentals, The Band signed a recording contract the first of which, "Rock-A-Way Boogie" became the bands theme song. The second tune was "Dream Theme", and the third was "Doo Flicky Junction".

Ricky Vac & The Rock-A-Ways

Ricky teamed up with Paul Ticherich (the piano player) to write a song about a native gal from Berea. Ricky named the song "Colleen" after classmate Colleen Kaye Siodla, who sometimes sang with the band. The tune was recorded on Hilltop Records, a subsidiary of DOT Records. Ricky Vac and the Rock-A- Ways performed that tune on the Danny Thomas "National Heart Fund" television show. The same year, they backed Colleen Kaye Siodla on Hilltop Records.

Ricky Vac & The Rock-A-Ways

The band played at the old Sahara Motel in Cleveland. It was the anchor band for the KYW radio station’s road show. They also played at Paramount Theater on the same bill as The Flamingos and a new singer, Frankie Avalon. The band gained fame along the way. The band music stopped in the early 1960s when Ricky was drafted. He wanted to return to it in 1964, but discovered the British had invaded the nation.

Biography :

Harvey Fuqua discovered Anne Bogan singing in a church on Quincy Avenue in Cleveland and championed the shy, petite soul singer's career. The original Challengers consisted of two neighborhood (79th & Central/Quincy area) friends: Dorothy and James Hutchinson and George Hendrix. Harvey issued their first release in 1962 on Tri-Phi Records a label he ran with his wife, Gwen Gordy-Fuqua.

(L to R) Marvin Gaye, Anna Gordy, Gwen Gordy Fuqua and Harvey Fuqua

"Honey, Honey, Honey" did well where it got played. Bogan delivers a bloodcurdling performance on the underrated self-written ballad that's also known as "Honey Three Times." Tri-Phi just didn't have the clout or the resources to put it over the top. The Challengers next Tri-Phi release was "I Hear an Echo," written by Bogan, Harvey Fuqua, and Pa Colman; it was similar to "Honey," complete with another thrilling vocal from Bogan, but was less successful.

The Challengers (2) aka The Executives (2) aka The Challengers III

On this release they became the Challengers III featuring Ann Bogan. Cleveland native, George Hendricks, substituted for Hutchinson when James couldn't make a gig, but gigs weren't plentiful, so the work didn't amount to much. Hendricks would befriend Choker Campbell, Motown's road bandleader, and record for Campbell's company. As the Challengers III, their career was over,

Biography :

The Year was 1961 and a local high school group from Polly Prep in Bay Ridge Brooklyn had recorded a demo "Zoom, Zoom, Zoom ». Richard Rosenberg, Richard Berg, Richard Perry and lead singer Jim Picardi had stopped the demo around ending up at Coral Records. That attracted the interest of Dick Jacobs, a conductor/arranger/A&R man at Coral Records -- who also happened to be the father of a classmate from the school and they were signed to a recording contract.

The Escorts (6)

By the time of their first session, however, Rodney Garrison had replaced Picardi on lead vocals. Their first four sides, "Gloria," "Seven Wonders of the World," "Gaudeamus", and "As I Love You," revealed The Escorts as an unusually talented and spirited white doo wop group, reminiscent of the Mystics but with some fascinating wrinkles to their sound. And while those sides never charted, they did get local club bookings.

The Escorts (6)

It was at one such booking, at the Lollipop Lounge, that they made the acquaintance of an aspiring female singer named Genya Zelkowitz, who used the nickname "Goldie." The next time The Escorts went into the studio, Garrison had departed and Zelkowitz was singing lead -- "Submarine Race Watching" was far more advanced than The Escorts' first sides, and their rendition of "Somewhere" from West Side Story showed how rich and compelling the mix of female falsetto and male doo wop accompaniment could be. They later worked and recorded for a time as Goldie & the Escorts, and Zelkowitz developed a very unusual girlish-yet-soulful approach to singing that might've carried them somewhere.

The Escorts (6)

Goldie remained the lead singer up to the groups final release, turning the reins over her song writer friend Bobby Lance. Goldie wanted to continue singing but the guys were in college and had other ideas. She formed an all girl band with drummer , Ginger Panebianco, Margo Croccito and Carol MacDonald, so was born Goldie & The Gingerbreads.

Biography :

Formed in 1952 by students from Crane High School, the group included Reggie Jackson, Leonard Mitchell, Sam Stewart, and Robert Tharp. In 1955, Wes Spraggins join the group . The group's first single was issued by the local Paso label in 1961. For their two first singles on Paso the group included Major Lance ("Monkey Time," "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um," "Hey Little Girl »).

The Ideals (3)

The Ideals (Cortland Records) MajjorLance

Over the ensuing years the groups line up chopped and changed leaving only two of the original members, Leonard Mitchell and Robert Tharp. After releasing several records with limited success, The Ideals joined up with Eddie Williams and former Five Chances member Howard Pitman, who not only owned Concord Records, but also wrote ‘The Gorilla’ for The Ideals. By the time the group had got round to recording ‘The Gorilla’ in 1963 Reggie Jackson, Sam Steward and Eddie Williams had all joined the ranks. Eddie Willams sang lead on "Gorilla," (as well as receiving a co-writing credit), that capitalized on apparently near the end of the monkey dance craze.

The groups local hit out grew Concord Records and Howard Pitman eventually sold on the rights and The Ideals contract to Cortland Records, who pushed "The Gorilla" to a national platform. The record imediately took off and sold nearly 90,000 copies! It is cited this may have been due to The Ideals mini tour of all the local Chicago schools, complete with a guy dressed in a gorilla outfit in tow!!

(L to R) Sam Stewart, Reggie Jackson and Leonard Mitchell

By 1965, the Ideals consisted of the trio of Jackson, Mitchell, and Stewart and scored their only charting single, "Kissing," released by the Satellite Recording Company. Another single, "You Lost and I Won," a doo-wopish ballad, was issued. Soon after, the group broke up. Tharp assumed the name Tommy Dark and joined with fellow Chicagoan Jerry Murray to form Tom and Jerrio. The duo had a 1965 Top 20 R&B hit with "Boo-Ga-Loo" on ABC-Paramount. Leonard Mitchell continued to record by joining with Jerome Johnson and Robert Thomas to form the Channel 3, who released one single, to no great acclaim.

1961 - Making Miracle / A Little love (Columbia 42053)

Biography :

The ‘Pettit Family’ began singing together in the late 1940s in Northwest Iowa. It started with the four oldest children singing, accompanied by their mother Marie. The quartet consisted of Alice, Bob, Pati and Mary. Marie taught Alice and Bob to sing harmony while Pati and Mary sang the melody. Mary sang all the solos and, at the early age of five or six, was considered a gifted singer. Their sister Claudia joined them at the age of three, singing melody with Pati and Mary.

The Pettit Family

The Pettit Family sang all around Iowa for many years. With Gammack, who had become a mentor to the children, serving as their talent scout, the five songbirds performed on "The Arthur Godfrey Show" in New York. Even though they placed second to a harmonica player from Pennsylvania, their May 1958 television appearance turned into an audition for George Gobel and his television show, "The George Gobel Show." After signing a $30,000 contract, "The Petites" moved to Los Angeles in August 1958, and became "regulars" on the variety show from Sept. 23 until April 1959.

Front row from left: Pati, Mary and Alice Pettit. Middle row: Claudia (Pettit) Prince. Back row: Bob Pettit.

They had the privilege of performing on the show with many stars such as Paul Lynde, Bea Arthur, Joe Flynn. The show’s head writer was Norman Lear. During the Gobel Show era, Columbia Records signed them, through Frank DeVol, who was head of orchestrations on the Gobel Show. The siblings cut some records as “The Petites”; enjoying some success and lots of air play with their records of “Blessed Are They”, “Sun Showers” and “Get Your Daddy’s Car Tonight.” Johnny Grant, now known as the ‘Honorary Mayor of Hollywood’ was a disc jockey at KMPC Radio and one of their greatest fans.

By 1961, with the marriages of Alice and Pati, the trio of Bob, Mary and Claudia continued to sing professionally in cities such as San Francisco, Reno, Lake Tahoe, New York and Las Vegas. When Bob was drafted for six months in the Army National Guard, singer Judy Gardner joined Mary and Claudia, who had by then taken on her older sister Pati's name, as one of the three "Petites." The trio signed a one-year contract with Jerry Colonna and toured the country.
