Форум ТипаSka.ru - The Moonglows /Doo Wop/

The Moonglows were an influential American R&B and doo wop group based in Cleveland, Ohio. The original group was "Bobby Lester" Dallas (1930-1980), Harvey Fuqua (b. 1929) (nephew of the Ink Spots' Charlie Fuqua), Alexander "Pete" Graves (b. 1930) and Prentiss Barnes (1925-2006), along with guitarist Billy Johnson. Originally known as The Crazy Sounds, they were renamed by Cleveland (and later New York) disc jockey Alan Freed, who was known on the air as "Moondog," and who decided to heavily promote the group (and who also took co-writer credits on some of their records).

In early 1953, the Moonglows, mostly featuring Harvey on lead, began recording, first for Freed's Champagne label and then for Chicago's Chance Records, achieving local success in the midwest with a bluesy sound. By mid-1954, the group had become more polished (as evidenced by their magnificent Lester-led cover of Doris Day's "Secret Love"), and signed with the bigger Chess Record label. Their first Chess record was also their first R&B smash, the Fuqua-penned "Sincerely" (1954), with an amazing, gut-wrenching lead vocal by Bobby Lester (and covered blandly for the pop market by the McGuire Sisters). "Sincerely" was followed by a series of original R&B hits in 1955 and 1956, including "Most of All", "In My Diary" (later recorded by the Spinners), "When I'm With You" (all led by Lester) and the uptempo "See Saw" (featuring Fuqua). 1957 saw the release of the Fuqua-led "Please Send Me Someone to Love" (originally by Percy Mayfield in 1950). Through this period, the group perfected their patented, breathy, "blow harmony," which inspired countless 50s doowop groups and 60s soul groups, and even the 1970s' Chi-Lites.
