Another great one from "The Paragons Meet The Jesters" LP.
This is the other side of "The Vows Of Love".
The Paragons, who formed in 1955, were from various parts of Brooklyn. It all started with three guys from Bedford-Stuyvesant, who were trying to get a group together: bass Al Brown, first tenor Ricky Jackson, and baritone Donald Travis. Al was close with a guy from neighboring Brownsville: a second tenor named Gable "Ben" Frazier (so close, in fact, that they called each other "cousin"). Donald's sister knew and recommended a first tenor named Julius "Mack" McMichael (from East New York); he ended up as their lead. They were all over 18, except for Ben, who was 14 at the time.
Al Brown suggested the name "Paragons," from the Paragon Oil Company (whose trucks I remember seeing all over the Bronx) and the guys started practicing. As inspirations, they chose the Drifters, the Flamingos, and the Moonglows. Closer to home were the Cadillacs and Harptones. But the group they were closest with was the Continentals.
One of their practice venues was the Ralph Avenue subway station (great echo). One day, in late 1956, while harmonizing there, they were heard by Hiram Johnson, brother of bandleader Buddy Johnson. He was interested in them and they started to go up to his office in Harlem to work with him.
Unfortunately, Johnson also managed a group called the Marvels, who had a release on ABC-Paramount in November 1956 ("I Won't Have You Breaking My Heart"). It didn't make any waves, but Johnson really believed in them. He may have even started Johnson records to present them to the world (after they'd changed their name to the "Dubs").
All this left Johnson little time to be involved with the Paragons. It finally got to the point that, when someone told them about Paul Winley, whose Winley records was right down the block from Johnson's office (at 322 West 125th Street), they jumped at the chance. (Winley was another record company owner with a famous brother: his was Harold Winley, bass of the Clovers.)
The first release by the Paragons was issued in February 1957 (beating the Dubs to record stores by a month): "Florence," backed with "Hey Little School Girl." Both tunes were led by Julius McMichael, and the piano work, at least on the Paragons' early numbers, was done by David Cortez Clowney, former member of the Pearls and soon to be renamed Dave "Baby" Cortez. At the time, Clowney was singing with the Valentines, but free-lancing as an arranger.
The next Winley release was issued in July 1957: "Let's Start All Over Again," coupled with "Stick With Me Baby." Julius McMichael led the top side and Ben Frazier was out in front on the flip. Around November 1957, Winley released "Two Hearts Are Better Than One"/"Give Me Love." Once again, one side ("Hearts") was led by Julius and the other by Ben.
The solid New York City sound of "Twilight" was released around March 1958. Its flip was the mistitled "The Vows Of Love." The first release misprinted it as "The Wows Of Love," but it really didn't matter, since what they're actually singing about is the vowels of love. This was another pairing featuring Julius on one side and Ben on the other.
Winley next had the Paragons back a singer named Tommy Collins (whom they didn't know) on a single side, called "Darlin' I Love You." It was released, coupled with the Paragons' "Doll Baby" (led by Ben) as "Tommy Collins & the Paragons," in January 1959.
On August 31, 1959, music history was made with the release of The Paragons Meet The Jesters LP. From the cool "motorcycle gang" cover to the dueling sounds of the Paragons and the Jesters, the platter had "hit" written all over it. It was released on the Jubilee label (Cosnat Distributers, owned by Jubilee's Jerry Blaine, handled the distribution for Winley). By October it was Cosnat's biggest selling album.
