Derek never worked with the Skyliners, either. Due to the fact that they initially were called the Five Pearls, they get mixed up to our Pearls, but they are an altogether different group. The second Atco single in March follows the same pattern. The song was composed by Walter Spriggs , who was a recording artist in his own right, too - both solo, and as a member of the 5 Echoes. Later he recorded under the name of Ray Scott. Unfortunately, none of these three Pearls singles charted on a national level. Herb Abramson was one of the founders of Atlantic Records in , but after he was drafted, in , Jerry Wexler replaced him in terms of production and succeeded, both commercially, and taking the music in a different direction.
Herb returned two years later, and as some sort of compensation they created in a subsidiary named Atco for him and his own further productions.
I think Howard found out about Onyx and we went there, sang for them and they took us right away. When Herb was gone, Atlantic put Jerry Wexler in that position and he went big time ever since. Herb also had an affair with a woman, and his wife found out about it and took him to court.
Jesse Powell is a tenor saxophone player out of Texas. By this time David Cortez Clowney had left the group, but he came back later.
The arranger Sammy Lowe and his orchestra are featured on these Onyx sides, which mostly are uptempo dancers. Billy also wrote the song. Both sides were written by Esther Navarro and Jesse Powell. She never did a damn thing. Jesse Stone directed the orchestra both on the emotive ballad on the A-side, and on the pounding flip.

Jesse also co-wrote both sides with Mark Lewis. He did the Sapphires business, and nobody knew anything None of the actual Pearls participate on this one. The Pearls did come back together for one more single, though. The Pearls released on E. The single flopped, and there were no more releases on the label, neither by the Pearls, nor anybody else. These days also Tommy Hunt wanted to join the group. He came to us with fifteen hundred, and those days that was a lot of money.
Tommy was a pretty boy, like Tony Curtis , and he could spin around two times, fall on the floor and keep on singing, and the girls were screaming. I brought the money in. And we split as friends.
They discovered that DJs were being paid money under the table to play records, and the police busted a lot of DJs. Doctor Jive was one of them in New York, and he even took our money; not the label money, but the one that we had earned from our gigs, but he almost never played our records. We just changed the band name on the contract. There was one quartet out of Philadelphia that recorded for Jubilee in the early 50s. David Cortez listened to his mother, and he left. Max went back home to his family. Some of them just missed mom and daddy too much. Dorothy and Ethel, who I sang with at the time, were also signed to Atlantic.
The arranger and conductor, Reggie Obrecht, co-wrote the song with Fred Jacobson , and the sound and the style is exactly what Ray Charles was doing those days. Here we must remember that Atlantic had just lost Ray to ABC, and they probably tested a successor to him.
I used to be so crazy about Ray Charles. There were many, who could sing like him, but nobody could scream like him. I could. I loved that man so much! I met him indirectly, and I was surprised. He knew me better than I knew him, because he talked about me to some of the guys in the band. He admired me.

I almost fainted, when I learned that. Ray could not sing, so I performed live with the band and they put still pictures of Ray on the TV. But I did get paid nice money, and I was on cloud nine. On their third Atlantic single, Derek is leading on both sides. All three ladies sang first in the Cookies, then the Raelettes. Historically there are a couple of noteworthy facts to go with this record. It was produced by the young Phil Spector , arranged by Teddy Randazzo and among the players you can spot such names as King Curtis on saxophone, Ernie Hayes on piano and Panama Francis on drums.
This is the first time Derek worked with Teddy Randazzo. He used to go and buy us hamburgers. Howard led that. We did it the Latin style. He was in and out of love. Phil Spector was a member of the Teddy Bears.
After four uncharted singles, the Top Notes left Atlantic. When everybody started to leave and only Howard and I stayed together, as an automatic thing we took this girl named Barbara Wells , then we took Dionne Warwick and Rosco again. We just forgot about it.

Surprise, surprise! The group next hooked up with Herb Abramson again. They had worked together on Atco five years earlier. The A-side of the first reunion single in , Wait for Me Baby, is a driving and catchy scorcher, sure-fire dance-floor filler. Abramson himself.
