Tenor who was
a member of The Domingoes in the late ‘50s
before they became The Spinners.
He left them in 1960 and came back a year later, replacing George W.
Dixon. On his watch, The
Spinners opened for Marvin Gaye at the Apollo and garnered rave
reviews. In spite of this
accomplishment, Motown wasted little time and effort promoting the band or
their singles. “I’ll
Always Love You” reached a respectable #35 on the Billboard chart in
1965 and “Tomorrow May Never Come” and “Truly Yours”
reached #8 and #16 on the R&B chart, respectively. In 1967, he was replaced by G.C.
Cameron. He can be heard on The Chrome Collection and The Complete Motown Singles, Vol.
5: 1965.
