H B Barnum
H. B. Barnum and Ronald Barrett were both members of a jazz band while
attending Fremont High in
East Los Angeles. Unsure if they made
any recordings.

Wilkins)
Dootone 366 - Teller Of Fortune / Ay Si
Si - 1955 (group was named after
Dootsie Williams owner of
Dootone records -- on the strength of this
45 the group managed to perform up and down the coast of California,
they even sang backup for
Jackie Wilson and
Etta James. In mid 1955 Vernon Green of The
Medallions needed to form a new set of Medallions,
Dootsie Williams got him in touch with The
Dootones and they became The Medallions for a tour of
Canada.
This set of Medallions never recorded together. After the tour The

to join The Meadowlarks. Charles Gardner joined Vernon Green's
