Description



The Kool Gents ( Chicago Doo Wop group)

One of the most interesting groups to emerge from Chicago in the 50's was the Kool Gents. An early incarnation called the Golden Tones had a couple of releases on two fly-by-night labels. The original members consisted of Cicero Blake, James Harper, Howard McClain, Teddy Long, and John Carter. Delecta "Dee" Clark, John McCall, and Doug Brown replaced Harper, McClain & Blake. McCall, not Clark originally sung lead until Vee Jay's A&R man Calvin Carter recommended that Clark sing lead. Long served as the groups' main songwriter. Clark, from Arkansas, had previously recorded "Hambone" with the Red Saunders Orchestra, as a member of the Hambone Kids.

They renamed themselves after disk jockey (age 82 and still active on the Chicago airwaves) Herb "Kool Gent" Kent who introduced them to Calvin Carter and Vee Jay Records. Their first release "This Is The Night" b/w "Do Ya Do" sold locally in 1956. A second release "I Just Can't Help Myself" b/w "You Know" did fine in Chicago also, but fail to make any inroads outside the city.

This is that 2nd release!
