The Admirations

[Chalky]

Got this photo from Robert Pruter of the Admirations.  I asked him who the member Myles was who it turns out is Sherman Myles.  In the photo, Ralph, Bruce and Kenneth Childs, Walter Smith and Sherman Myles and an unknown as of yet, presume it is the guitarist whose name we don't know.

Yep.  First release on Paree, then Peaches and then on to One-Derful.

Walter Smith was lead on some of the One-Derful releases, he went onto leave the group and form Walter & The Admerations (La Cindy).

Bob Abrahamian interviewed Walter Smith along with the rest of the Green Berets back in 2009.
