Actually the Carbo brothers were Hayward "Chuck" Carbo and Leonard "Chick" Carbo , The rest of the Spiders were
Joe Maxon, Matt West and Oliver Howard. When Maxon and West left they were replace by Bill Moore and Issacher Howard.
Darrell's version for me although George and Stevie are close.
Jeff Conaway (who was also in the movie "Grease") is said to be the lead singer of the 3 1/2.
Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the album. The title seemed very familiar ( mostly because of the iconic 60's ad)
and I googled a title search and came up with the picture. Sorry ........
The year posted on you tube for this release is wrong- it actually came out in early 1962.
There's also a post suggesting the group is actually the Five Royales doing some moonlighting.

Thanks for the info- after some research I found out the Lou Courtney is probably a mid '65 release while Howard's version
is from February/ March 1966.
There's also some lyric changes in the 2nd version which is why the writer's credits are different.
According to "Groovesville USA", the Valtone label was ownded by Frank and Val Brown.
The same source says the lead singer of the Fabulous Apollos was the same Joe Matthews
who recorded "Ain't Nothing You Can Do".
The song "Jimmy Mack" has nothing to do with the artist. H-D-H came up with the idea when they attended an Awards ceremony and the song
"He's So Fine" won for song of the year. He had recently passed away and his mother accepted the award and said "Ronnie Mack when are you
coming back" which gave H-D-H the idea for the song.
