Biography :

From the Bronx, The Earls began life as the High Hatters, cutting four demos in 1959 for Rome Records. They planned to buy themselves white tux & tails, spats, patent leather shoes, ruffled shirts, white gloves, white top hats and fancy white walking sticks. However, they had no money, so the name went out , along with the idea. At that time, the group consisted of Val Polillo (Lead), Bob Del Din, (First Tenor), Larry Palombo, (Bass/Baritone), John Wray,(Baritone), and Larry Chance, (Second Tenor). Val Polillo left and was replaced by Eddie Harder on lead.

Larry Palombo

Their First appearances as the High Hatters were at the Moose Lodge on 216th Street in the Bronx and at Teen Town in Mt. Vernon, NY. They sang all the standard street songs, "Zoom, Zoom, Zoom," "I'm So Happy," "Why Do Fools Fall In Love," "Thousand Miles Away," etc. Knowing they couldn't afford to buy the outfits they had wanted, they decided to change the name. However, they had five guys, all of whom thought that the name they wanted was best. Five members, five ideas. So, they decided that the only fair way to arrive at a new name would be to get a dictionary, open a page at random, place a finger on a word and call the group whatever came up. Finger landed on the word "EARL,... nobleman of high rank." That was it....they would be called "The EARLS!". Later, in 1959, the Earls lost their original member Larry Palombo in an army skydiving accident when his parachute failed to open during an exercise. In 1961, Rome released the Earls' first record "Life is But a Dream" (Rome 101 – 1961) b/w "Lost Love".

Biography :

Comstock was born in Ithaca, New York, and began singing and playing mandolin as a child. At the age of seven, he started appearing regularly with his brother on a local radio station, and then on country music radio in Sayre, Pennsylvania. In 1958, after hearing rock and roll broadcasts from Nashville, he formed his own band, Bobby and the Counts. As well as Comstock on guitar and vocals, other band members were Fred Ciaschi (lead vocals & piano), Gus Eframson (rhythm guitar), Dale Sherwood (drums), Chuck Ciaschi (bass) and (initially) Bill Lucas (bongos & vocals).

Bobby & The Counts (4)

The group recorded their first single, "Too Young"/"Tra-La-La", for Marlee Records in Trumansburg, New York, and in 1959 were signed to a national deal by Triumph Records, established by Herb Abramson after he left Atlantic. The group's moderately rocked-up version of the Patti Page hit "Tennessee Waltz" was released on the subsidiary Blaze label in late 1959 - with the group now being billed as Bobby Comstock & The Counts - and rose to no.52 on the Billboard pop chart.

As a result of its success, the group appeared on several package shows promoted by Alan Freed, toured nationally with artists such as Bobby Vinton and Freddie Cannon, and appeared on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. Their follow-up record, a version of Hank Williams' "Jambalaya", released on the Atlantic label, also made the national pop chart, reaching no.90.

Bobby & The Counts (4)

The group, with various changes of personnel over the years, continued to release singles on Abramson's labels until 1962, with diminishing success, before signing to the Lawn label. Their first record for the label, "Let's Stomp", released as a Comstock solo single, reached no.57 on the US pop chart in early 1963.

Bobby & The Counts (4)

The song was written by Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein and Richard Gottehrer, who later recorded as The Strangeloves. It was reputedly performed by the Beatles in Hamburg, and was certainly performed by the Searchers and recorded by Lee Curtis and the All-Stars, a beat group featuring ex-Beatle Pete Best. Follow-ups were less successful, although the group broke into the US charts for a final time in 1963 with "Your Boyfriend's Back", an answer record to "My Boyfriend's Back" by the Angels, a female group recording on the same label.

1955 - Baby, I Love You So / What Difference Does It Make (Flair 1065)
1955 - That's The Way I Like It / Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (Flair 1070)

Biography :

Shirley Gunter was born in 1934 in Coffeyville, Kansas, and migrated to Los Angeles with her family in early 1942. She began her singing career as a solo artist in 1953 when her older brother, Cornelius, a member of a vocal group called The Flairs, took her to his label, Flair Records, a subsidiary of Modern Records.

After her first two singles, Shirley put together her own group called The Four Queens in 1954 with high soprano Lula B. Kenney, Lula's Aunt Lula Mae Suggs (middle harmony) and alto Blondene Taylor, Shirley's best friend at Polytechnic High School. One day the four girls were fooling around on the piano in Shirley's living room when they came up with a "Sh-Boom"-like ditty with nonsense lyrics called "Oop Shoop." When they took it to saxophonist Maxwell Davis, Shirley's mentor at Flair Records, he helped them work up a more polished arrangement.

Shirley Gunter & The Queens

Label chief Joe Bihari liked what he heard, changed their name to Shirley Gunter & The Queens, and released "Oop Shoop" in August 1954. Within two months it entered the R&B charts and rose to number eight, but before the record had a chance to cross over into pop territory, The Crew-Cuts, who had already had a major hit by covering "Sh-Boom" for Mercury Records, gave "Oop Shoop" the same treatment.

Blondene Taylor The Flairs

Bandleader Spike Jones' wife, Helen Greco, also recorded it (on RCA's X label), along with The Hamilton Sisters (Columbia), Big John & His Buzzards (Okeh) and Kay Brown (on Crown, another Modern Records subsidiary ). After four singles and a couple of tours with The Queens, Shirley Gunter paired up with her brother's group, The Flairs.

Biography :

The Del-Satins were one of the finest white male doo wop groups of all time. Though not as well known as The Earls, Jay & The Ameicans, or The Four Seasons, in their own style (which was rhythm and blues and rock and roll) they were every bit as good. Unfortunately, they received no credit on any of their 13 hit records, although they did have the chance to make a few excellent singles under their own name.

The Del Satins
The Del-Satins first time on stage as professional entertainers (Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, April 23, 1958

Formed in 1958 in the Yorkville section of Manhattan, the quintet consisted of Stan Ziska (lead), Leslie Cauchi (first tenor), Bobby Fiela (second tenor), Fred Ferrara (baritone), and his brother Tom Ferrara (bass). Les attended Power Memorial while Fred and Tom went to Machine and Metals Trade School. Influenced by R&B groups like The Heartbats, The Dubs, and The Flamingos, the Del-Satins, aged 15 to 17, would practice on Tom and Fred’s stoop on 69th Street when they weren't searching for a good overpass or bathroom to provide that perfect echo.

The Del Satins
November 1958

Early on they were called the Jokers, not as a singing group but rather as a basketball team playing in a house league for the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House. They decided on the name Del-Satins by putting together two of their favorite groups, The Dells and The Five Satins. They then made their own first break by participating in a talent show at the Empire Hotel on New York’s West Side. The first prize, which they won, was a record deal with George Goldner’'s End Records, and s0 it was that the Del-Satins’ first single, “I'll Pray for You,” was released in 1961.

The Del Satins with DJ Alan Fredriks

The record received good local response, especially from WADO disc jockey Alan Fredericks, leading to some shows for Fredericks at the Levittown Arena.Around this time Jim Gribble, manager for other New York-area harmony groups like The Passions, took on the Del-Satins. He brought the quintet to Bob and Gene Schwartz at Laurie Records when he heard Dion was looking for a new backup group.The Del-Satins were instantly sent to work on his new song, "Runaround Sue", which then rose to number 1 in the Billboard charts.

The Del Satins Anthony LaRosa avec Richie Greejn, Stan Zizka, Tom Ferrara, Fred Ferrara, Joe Ferrara et Leslie Cauchi.

Although their contribution to the hit was substantial, the Del-Satins received no credit. They also sang on Dion's later solo hits, "The Wanderer", "Lovers Who Wander", "Little Diane", "Love Came To Me", "Ruby Baby", "Donna the Prima Donna" and "Drip Drop", as well as on records by Len Barry and Jan and Dean.

The Del Satins

They released a number of singles under their own name, but had little success until "Teardrops Follow Me" in 1962, after which they found regular work on television and radio. They then moved to Columbia Records as part of Dion's new contract. Still frustrated by their lack of recognition, in 1963 they auditioned for Phil Spector but declined his subsequent invitation to record with him. As Dion's solo career ran into the commercial doldrums in the mid-1960s, the group moved on to Mala Records and then B.T. Puppy Records where they released an album, Out to Lunch.

The Del Satins

Ziska left in the mid-1960s and Cauchi and Tom Ferrara were drafted. The remaining members of the Del-Satins continued to play live with the addition of Johnny Maestro (former lead singer of The Crests), Richard Green, and Mike Gregorio. When Cauchi returned, they changed the group's name to Brooklyn Bridge. In 1991 the Del-Satins, led by Stan Ziska, re-formed for nostalgia shows and issued an album, Still Wandering

Biography :

Hotshot producers Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein and Richard Gottehrer notched up some remarkable successes back in the 60s, including number ones with "My Boyfriend’s Back" by the Angels in 1963 and "Hang On Sloopy" by the McCoys in 1965, with lots of flops and almost-made-its coming in between. In late 1963 the team scored again with the Angels’ follow-up, "I Adore Him" and nearly made it three hits in a row that year with Patty Lace & The Petticoats, whose deliciously camp "Sneaky Sue" (on Kapp) undoubtedly influenced Shadow Morton's work with the Shangri-Las. Issued in the solemn aftermath of the Kennedy assassination, "Sneaky Sue" made it to #104 in early January 1964.

Patty Lace & The Petticoats (3)
Diane Christian

Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein and Richard Gottehrer frequently used studio vocalists from the New York session pool on their recordings and it seems that Patty Lace & The Petticoats were one such aggregation. Their only follow-up* had the peculiar distinction of being issued well over year later, when the group had been forgotten. Perhaps sensing this, Kapp helpfully named them on the label as ‘Patty, Paula, Peppi and Pixie’. Bob Feldman cannot recall the real identities of Patty Lace & the Petticoats other than to say that their original lead singer, Diane Christian, cut a solo 45 for Mercury. However, we do have a picture of the girls from a rare French release.
