The Spaniels were an American R&B doo-wop group, best known for the hit "Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite".They have been called the first successful Midwestern R&B group. Some historians of vocal groups consider Pookie Hudson to be the first true leader of a vocal group, because the Spaniels pioneered the technique of having the main singer solo at his own microphone, while the rest of the group shared a second microphone.The Spaniels played regularly at the Apollo, The Regal and other large theaters on the Chitlin circuit.

"Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite" is a popular song that was a hit during the mid-1950s. It was written by Calvin Carter and James "Pookie" Hudson in 1953. It was originally recorded by the rhythm and blues group, The Spaniels, in 1954. This single hit number twenty-four on Variety's pop chart, and rose to number five on U.S. Billboard's R&B chart. 

"You Don't Move Me" is a song written by Gregory and recorded by The Spaniels in 1954 .
