From Marv Goldberg at uncamarvy.com: The Love Notes who recorded on Imperial, Rainbow & Riviera records hailed from the Roxbury section of Boston, they were all neighborhood friends who sang on the corners of the Kendall Street Housing Project. The original members were: Bob White (tenor lead), Walter Taylor (tenor), John Davis (second tenor and bass). Buddy Holt (baritone and second lead), and Wallace Rose (baritone). Starting in early 1952, they began practicing songs by the Orioles and the Ravens, as well as pop and modern harmony arrangements by the 4 Freshmen and the Bluenotes (a French jazz group). For a while, they managed themselves, but finally ended up with Cecil Steen (future owner of Pilgrim Records). He was the one who got them their first recording contract in early 1953 with Imperial Records, for whom they recorded Roland Gill's 'Surrender Your Heart' (led by Teddy Santos) and 'Get On My Train' (led by John Davis), which had been written by 'Sir Lawrence Hinkson.' The disc was released in September 1953. On August 21, 1954, Eddie Heller, owner of Rainbow Records announced the signing of the Love Notes. The deal came, once again, through Cecil Steen. This alliance produced two records (on Rainbow's Riviera subsidiary), both of which again did well locally. (There is still no answer to why the Riviera records were released six months before Heller announced the start of the label in Billboard with the Five Crowns' "Oo Wee Baby." Actually, Riviera, as an affiliate of Rainbow, existed in 1950, when it was announced that big band singer Bob Eberle had been signed to it. It had started out life as a new company called Gay Records in early June; a week later, it had been renamed Riviera.) "Sweet Lulu" (led by Ed Anderson) and "I'm Sorry" (fronted by Bob White) were released, on Riviera, in August or September 1954. The disc would be reissued on the parent Rainbow label in October.
