The Dubs - Connie / Home Under My Hat - CD5 MAXI-SINGLE

One of the all-time greatest vocal groups to emerge from New York in the late 1950s, The Dubs formed from the merging of two short-lived vocal groups in Harlem, New York - The Five Wings and The Scale-Tones. The Five Wings, with members Jackie Rue (lead, later of Jackie and the Starlites), Frank Edwards (tenor), Billy Carlisle (second tenor), Melvin Flood (baritone), and Tommy Grate (bass). recorded for King Records in 1955 without much success, and the group began to splinter. Rue, Flood, and Edwards left, Kenny InchButchInch Hamilton joined, and, shortly afterwards, Carlisle's cousin Richard Blandon was in following his discharge from the United States Air Force. Meanwhile, The Scale-Tones had been formed by James InchJakeInch Miller and Thomas Gardner, who had added Cleveland Still (lead), James Montgomery, and Don Archer. They made one record on the Jay-Dee tag in early 1956. After some prompting by Blandon when he showed up at a Scale-Tones' rehearsal, a new group emerged. This included Blandon and Carlisle from the Five Wings, and Still, Miller and Gardner from the Scale-Tones. The Five Wings' manager, Buddy Johnson's brother Hiram, offered to manage the new group. As The Marvels, they recorded an unsuccessful single, InchI Won't Have You Breaking My HeartInch, for ABC-Paramount. The group then renamed themselves The Dubs, and released Blandon's song InchDon't Ask Me To Be LonelyInch on the Johnson tag set up by their manager. Radio acceptance was almost immediate, and the record was picked up for national on George Goldner's Gone tag. It peaked at #72 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the summer of 1957, although like all their other records it surprisingly failed to make the R&B chart. Gardner then left the group to be replaced by Tommy Grate. The group's next single, InchCould This Be MagicInch, also written by Blandon, was another pop hit, rising to #23 l
