The Mighty Imperials

voc,
Singer of R&B/Soul
A.k.a. The Melodyaires

The Melodyaires of Dayton, Ohio, transformed as older members left and were replaced by new members, notably the talented writing/arranging team-up of singer/instrumentalists Larry Coleman and Calvin “Skip” Skipper, plus singers Cornelius Herringand Wayne Dedrick. When they became the Mighty Imperials, the Melodyaires were under contract to Nashboro’s subsidiary Creed label and had made one single for it. They continued with Nashville-based Creed under their new name, making at least three more singles and an excellent album, late 1972’s A Look At the Mighty Imperials.
