The mid fifties was the era of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, and Empire Records saw a way of cashing in by emphasizing the youth of the singers especially their group The Preludes. They became The Youngsters (Charles Everidge, Herman Pruitt, Robert Johnson and others). "Dreamy Eyes" released in 1956 was the last tune by the group for the label which folded less than a year later.
Hollywood High students The Four Preps (Bruce Belland, Ed Cobb, Glen Larson and Marv Ingram) In 1956 they signed with Capitol Records and had their first hit in 1957 with the cover of "Dreamy Eyes". Okay it reached only into the seventies but it was the start of a wonderful career. Please look them up on line, they have incredible stories to tell.
