[1] At times known as Harvey & the Moonglows, and at other times called Bobby
Lester & the Moonglows. Originally formed in Louisville Kentucky as the
Crazy Sounds, they moved to Cleveland, where the legendary disc jockey, Alan
Freed, renamed them the Moonglows (after his own nickname, "Moondog"). Freed
helped to promote the group during their early years and, in a common
practice of the day, took a co-writer credit as compensation for his
efforts. Singer Harvey Fuqua served as the group's leader and chief writer.
However, vocals were split between Bobby Lester and Harvey Fuqua, and
sometimes, in the group's occasional duet leads, both. The name of the group
often depended on when a record was made. Retrospectively they are just
called, The Moonglows.]
