INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER - January 1, 1955 The Five Turbans, Deb Recording stars, creators of "Juanita" and "Don't Say Goodbye," recently recorded "Christmas Prayer" and "Yuletide Story" on the Deb label. The popular singing group appeared on WFBM-TV charity show and The Recorder Christmas Benefit bill. The Turbans also appeared with Count Basie, Eddie Chamblee, Jimmy Cole, Larry Wrice, Willis Dyer, and Sonny Thompson. The boys are under the personal management of Leo Lesser Jr., with Jerry Shelton as tour manager. (NOTE: This is an Indianapolis vocal group that had "Christmas Prayer"/"Yuletide Story" released on Deb 802 in November 1954. Deb was a new label formed by Lesser and Shelton. Per Disco-File, the members were Bobby Bernard, Clarence Dorsey, Tony Goodrich, Hilton Hudson, and Herman Lewis. They had only one other record, with a name change to "The Monograms", on Saga 1000 in 1957. They were NOT the same group as either The Turbans on Herald or The Turbans on the Money label.) |
