Singer of R&B/Soul
Columbus, Ohio early 1960's - 1972 This R&B/soul vocal group, from Columbus' Linden neighborhood, started out in the early soul times. They performed regionally for several years before recording a couple records in NYC, and getting released on a small NYC based label, CVS records. The first 45 "Have You Ever" got some airplay and sold a fair number of copies. The group members were Earl Riley (or Railey), Ray Riley, Jimmy Radford, Alvin Freeman, and Donnie Scales. The group had their own backing band when they performed around the area and in many of the midwest "Chitlin circuit" clubs. After the group's demise and the untimely deaths of Ray Railey and Alvin Freeman, Jimmy Radford and Earl Riley joined the The Ultimates (2).
