Biography
This Chicago group of mostly high school students didn't enjoy a lengthy tenure, but made the marvelous wailing ballad Love Jones in 1972. It was a gold record and number-three RB hit, and remains among classic soul one-hit wonders. Their lead singer Darryl Lamont was 12; other members were Ralph Eskridge, Randolph Murph, and Larry Washington. The follow-up, I Owe You Love, barely made the RB Top 50, and they were soon only a memory. Both songs were issued on 20th Century Records. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
