Steve Foran Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 There was a promo picture of the Twans in a previous posting , maybe earlier this year. On You tube a relative of one the Salvadors mentions a promo piccie. Delites sure I have seen one as they were on Bill Haleys label. Wally Cox was an actor I think. Professionals and Tamala Lewis fairly well documented. Good call though.

Roburt Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 There were more than one set of 'Cavaliers'. I have a photo (on an old computer) of the DC based Cavaliers (taken outside a DC club where they had performed). If I recall correctly, the other Cavaliers included the brother of a Temptation (Paul Williams?) and were the group that became the Fellas that supported David Ruffin after he was kicked out of the Temptations. Not got the info with me at present but will sort it out & paste it here if no one else has it. The Cavaliers story is complicated coz of the fact there was more than one group that used the name. I don't recall either the Detroit connected or DC outfits having a white guy in their line-up, so the photo of the group shown above may be yet another version. ALSO ... didn't the guys who helped form the Temptations, when they were still down in Birmingham, call themselves the Cavaliers for at least a couple of years. A full run-down of the various groups who called themselves the Cavaliers could do with being drawn up. Also more than one set of Millionaires & Poets (didn't the Main Ingredient or similar group start out as a set of 'Poets'). Didn't the Mayfield Singers include Donny Hathaway & LeRoy Hutson in their line-up. I think the Nabay story is known (wasn't he of arab descent or sumat similar).

Guest Dave Turner Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Roburt , this I suppose is the Cavaliers photo you mention. I also have the other photo listed under Cavaliers but don't remember where I got it from
Roburt Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Roburt , this I suppose is the Cavaliers photo you mention. I also have the other photo listed under Cavaliers but don't remember where I got it from Well I posted that 'outside the DC club' photo on SDF about 2/3 years ago ..... maybe you copied it from there. I seem to recall someone related to a member of that group posting on the SDF thread (but the memory is shot, so I may be wrong). Ady also has info on the Cavaliers but I think his 'record keeping system' is even more chaotic than mine. Edited October 24, 2012 by Roburt
Chalky Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 The Cavaliers came from the guy who put them on eBay, he got all the stock from the DC booking agency, prior to that they hadn't been seen before. The group from Birmingham was Kell Osborne, Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks as you will know from the Kell Osborne story I wrote for Kell. But they didn't record so can be discounted really.
Roburt Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 The Detroit related Cavaliers, who had backed up David Ruffin as his 'Fellas' were predicted to be the 'next big thing' ..... ..... but it never happened as they were dropped by their 'handlers' and no recordings were released.
Tfk Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Some great info being turned up so far -loads more to go at - have done loads of researching into these artist to little or no avail- the wonders of www - any info would be good ktf tfk Edited October 24, 2012 by tfk
Guest Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 that is a long list May be better to have a thread per artist, rather than all bunched together...easier to add to, follow and search?
Soulfulsolutions Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I've got a WOI Sound Spectrum radio station chart from Ann Arbor, Michigan, from Nov 67. Nabay - Believe it not - at No 33, I doubt any owner of that 45 has this rare radio station chart..........but then I have a rare radio station chart without the 45!!! 2
