Trivia
The Kool Gents were names
after local DJ Herb "Kool Gent" Kent At WGS.
The 1959 release "There Goes
My Baby" by
The Drifters holds the distinction of being the first rhythm and
blues record to use violins.
Ben E. King was inspired to co-write the song after hearing Dee
Clark's 1959 recording "Hey Little Girl" - Abner 1029.
