LIONEL THORPE

Im Januar 1960 kam seine zweite Single auf
Roulette heraus. Hier sehen wir Carl Feaster
neben Mildred Horton auch als Komponist.

Es hört sich auf beiden Singles tatsächlich so
an, als seien neben Feaster auch weitere Chords-
Mitglieder im Studio gewesen.

Hallo,
aus Goldberg:

In 1959, Carl Feaster recorded six sides for Roulette under the name Lionel Thorpe, with Jimmy Keyes, Dorian Burton and someone named Wooten doing background vocals. Buddy remembers Burton and Wooten as two guys who used to hang around with the Chords. Where did the name "Lionel Thorpe" come from? Says Buddy, „We used to tease Carl about the 'Lionel Thorpe' name, but he would never explain it.“ The sides were: “Lover Lover Lover“, “More, More, More“, “She Was Love“, “Don't Run Away“, “Hanging Around“ and “My Little Angel.“

The first two of these were issued on Roulette in March 1959, the second two in January 1960.
