While with Irving Berman's Manor and Arco labels, Savannah had vocal group backing by The Five Kings, The Sentimentalists/Four Tunes, and The Striders.The song "My Baby-Kin" refers to Karen Lynn. Pat Best and The Four Tunes released a song entitled "Karen Lynn" on Manor in 1949. Was she some relation to Berman? When asked several years ago, Pat couldn't recall where the name came from.
