USE & GRADED FOR SAME
The Dappers were now history, but Gregory Carroll wasn't ready to give up yet. Together with his friend, baritone/bass Al Showell, he looked around for some other singers to round out a group. They met, and were impressed by, the Sweethearts (soprano Pat Williams and alto Joy Wright), who had won the amateur night contest at the Apollo Theater.
Greg and Al wrote some material for the Sweethearts, and then decided to merge them into a new Dappers group. Leonard Puzey returned as the fifth member.
Greg had many contacts in the music industry and he quickly got the Dappers a recording session with Eddie Heller's Rainbow records. (A tragic mistake, as Rainbow was just about to go out of business.) The second Dappers had a single session for Rainbow, at which they recorded "Bop Bop Bu" (led by Greg) and "How I Need You Baby" (with Greg and Joy doing a duet lead).
The record was released in November 1956, and, probably since Rainbow was doing so poorly, wasn't promoted or sent out for review. (In fact, it was the next-to-last Rainbow record.)
In spite of this, the Dappers remained together for almost a year. During that period, according to Greg, they traveled the East Coast appearing at the Apollo (although I can find no listings), the Royal, the Howard, and the Earl. They also did some television work in Delaware and Connecticut. The Dappers' career came to an end when Joy Wright left to have a baby. NOTE: George "Dapper" Cromwell & the Dappers, who recorded for Peacock, are from the Boston area and are a totally unrelated group.
