DESCRIPTION:
DOOWOP - VOCAL GROUP HARMONY - RHYTHM AND BLUES

When RCA Victor discontinued the Groove label in January 1957, they moved Annie Alford to the Vik label. "Temporarily Blue" also has a strong uncredited vocal group that is probably the Blue Notes, but we can't be sure. In addition, Annie Alford recorded the Bennie Burleigh composition, "The Fool" for Apollo in early 1959. This record also has strong vocal group background that may or may not be the Blue Notes. By that time Bennie Burleigh had founded the Eagle label to record a singer he also discovered at the Apollo amateur hour, Sy Palmer. He also recorded on Eagle, acts he was managing, like Bill Harris and the Continentals.
