The Daylighters were formed in 1956 by a group of high school classmates at Hooper City High School in Birmingham, Alabama. They moved to Chicago in 1959 and had some very significant success there. The lineup for this record (in 1962) included: Gerald Sims (lead), Charles Colbert, Eddie Thomas, Dorsey Wood, and George Wood. Sims would go on to become an arranger, producer, and guitarist for Okeh Records. Colbert would become a bassist for American Breed. The Daylighters disbanded in 1965.

Attention US Buyers: I will ship by USPS Media Mail or by USPS Priority Mail, your choice. Please note that if you have a Military Mail address (e.g. APO), I must ask that you pick USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Media Mail is not reliable to Military Mail addresses.
Attention International Buyers: Unfortunately, it appears that international shipping from the US (via the USPS) has become unreliable, because of the pandemic. Therefore, I have decided to remove the international shipping option. You are still welcome to bid on this item, but will need to supply a shipping address in the US. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
