A BLACK GROUP IN THIS BLOG ?

Yes! many black groups recorded with a white doo wop sound as THE ALMA-KEYS on Kiski Records...

Many guides,Catalogues and books have listed to The Alma-Keys as an East Coast group and that they were white.there is something of a "white" sound to their disc_Please Come Back To Me/Jumpin Twist. recorded in February 1962 for Kiski Records.

But The Alma-Keys were a black group from Tarentum,PA. formed by James Mansfield Kemp(First Tenor),Richard Hayden(2nd tenor),Lloyd Daniel Hayden Jr.(Baritone),William Kemp(Bass) and Roland Hayden(Lead/Baritone).
