Listed in the Jeff Kreiter Vocal Group Record Guide as Curtis Lee & The Pictures, C. L. is NOT CURTIS LEE.
Also listed in the Complete Book Of Doo Wop as Curtis Lee(bb The Halos) on Sabra Records. this is another mistake.
C. L. & The Pictures were a white rock band from Houston,Texas. The original lineup featured Charles "C. L." Larry Weldon on vocals, Charlie Broyles on guitar, Trent Poole on drums, Leroy Rodriguez on bass, and two sax players,Leo grimaldo and Glenn Spreen.
From 1960 to 1966 the band have many personal changes and recorded a variety of Rock,Pop,Doo-Wop and Soul songs for Dunes,Sabra,Cadette,Kirk and Monument Records.
Above: C.L. & The Pictures (1963). L to R: Charlie Broyles, Trent Poole, C. L. Weldon, Leroy Rodriguez, Bill Tillman, Harold Fulton.
In 1963 recorded for Dunes Records the oriented doo wop side_I'm Sorry.
