Description

This is The Kool Gents...This Is The Night...Vee Jay Records 173  45 rpm  1956

Side two: Do Ya Do

One of the most interesting groups to emerge from Chicago in the '50s was the Kool Gents. An early incarnation called the Golden Tones had a couple of releases on two fly-by-night labels. The original members consisted of Cicero Blake, James Harper, Howard McClain, Teddy Long, and John Carter. Delecta "Dee" Clark, John McCall, and Doug Brown replaced Harper, McClain, and Blake. McCall, not Clark originally sung lead until Vee Jay's A&R man Calvin Carter recommended that Clark sing lead. Long served as the groups' main songwriter. Clark, from Arkansas, had previously recorded "Hambone" with the Red Saunders Orchestra as a member of the Hambone Kids.

They renamed themselves after disk jockey Herb "Kool Gent" Kent, who introduced them to Calvin Carter and Vee Jay Records. Their first release, "This Is the Night" b/w "Do Ya Do" sold locally in 1956. A second release, "I Just Can't Help Myself" b/w "You Know" did fine in Chicago also, but failed to make any inroads outside the city.

Label: VG to a little better...with some ring wear

Vinyl: G+ to better...plays better than looks, scratches shown in pic have little to no real effect, song plays through without any skips, only a little scratch sound...

Play tested on an older player with a little more weight on needle, also on a modern more delicate player, still plays great sounds fantastic...Same with side two...

Return if not happy, no problem..

call to hear..903-819-4275

Thanks
