1 The group's passionate and soulful recording of Williams' "May I," held a
lot of promise. Unfortunately, they chose to license it to Vee Jay Records,
which was then the most successful, black-owned record company in the world.
But Vee Jay went into bankruptcy within days of the record's national release,
and "May I" never recovered — the record did get out on the Dee-Su label in New
Orleans, which rescued it physically from oblivion, and it found an audience on
the radio in the south. It has been certified a million-seller by the RIAA,
despite never managing to appear on either the pop or R&B charts.
2 Covered by: The Bluebeats and Bill Deal & the Rhondels.
2a Band Members as of 1959: Maurice Williams (tenor, guitar, piano), Shane
Gatson (tenor, falsetto, guitar), Wiley Bennett (baritone), Charles Thomas
(tenor, trumpet), Little Willie Morrow (tenor, guitar), Albert Hill (vocals),
Calvin McKinnie (saxophone) & Harold Alexander (saxophone).
