CLYDE McPHATTER - seine 45 RPM Singles

Kurz-Bio:
Der R&B-Sänger Clyde McPhatter wurde am 15. November 1932 in Durham, North Carolina, geboren und erlag am 13. Juni 1972, noch nicht 40-jährig, in Teaneck, New Jersey, einem Herzinfarkt als Folge einer schweren Alkoholsucht.
Der Vater war Prediger und die Mutter Organistin beim Kirchenchor, wo auch der Sohn seine ersten gesanglichen Schritte machte. Bereits mit 13 Jahren (1945) gründete er seine eigene Gospel-Band. Etwa Ende 1950 schloss er sich Billy Ward an, wo er bei den Dominoes bei vielen Titel die Leadstimme übernahm, was offensichtlich durch den Chef Billy Ward nicht sonderlich gewürdigt wurde. Jedenfalls verließ er 1953 die Formation wo er zwar viele Titel sang, aber nie auf dem Label namentlich aufschien und gründete mit seinem Manager George Treadwell die Drifters. 1955 verließ er die Gruppe um eine Solo-Karriere zu starten.

Hallo Peter!
Eigentlich war schon das Jahr 1963 ein Zugeständnis an Harald, welches ich nur mit Hilfe des Netzes bewerkstelligen konnte. Da ich für die Zeit ab 1963 so gut wie keine eigenen Unterlagen besitze, habe ich jetzt ebenfalls mit Hilfe des Netzes versucht, die Single-Disco bis zu Clyde's letzter 45er zu komplettieren und ich hoffe, dass sie jetzt lückenlos ist.

Hallo Thorsten!
Billy hat die nötigen Daten geliefert, damit ich die LP-Veröffentlichung finden konnte. Single oder EP hat es offenbar keine gegeben.
