ON this date in 1962 - Gene Chandler received a gold record for "Duke of Earl."
The Boyz sang backup on the record and were credited w/ starting the doo-wop era in rock & roll.
I can still hear Bun singing "Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl..." and then Mr. Purple would come in a little higher (his voice hadn't changed by this time...)

"Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl..."
And then Mr. Chandler, "As I walk thru this world, nothing can stop the Duke of Earl..."
And ya know what? They still can't touch the Duke...
