Vocalists

The Resume

    (1955- )
    Formed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
    Members include:
    David Lerchey
    Corinthian 'Kripp' Johnson
    Don Jackson
    Clarence E. Quick
    Samuel Paterson
    Recording 'Bring Back Your Heart,' 'Come Go with Me,' 'Cool Shake,' 'How Can I Find True Love,' and 'I'm Spinning'

Why they might be annoying:

    The origin of the band's name is unclear.
    Because all of the members were in the armed forces, the group constantly ran the risk of being disrupted by members being stationed in other places.
    All but one of the members had left Free Bee/Dot Records after their contracts expired.
    As a result, this created two groups with one being named 'DELL-Vikings.'
    After the group split up in 1965, another attempt to form a new group started around 1970. This version never matched the same success as the original one.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Much of the original members had served United States Air Force.
    Their song 'Come Go with Me' peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
    'Come Go with Me' was later re-recorded several times by other musical acts, and the original version was used in several films.
    The group was notable for being one of the few racially integrated musical groups to attain success in the 1950s.
