Their first single on Gone (both sides arranged by former Valentine and Goldner house AandR man, Richard Barrett) was issued in late summer 1957 and brought the group back into the spotlight with air and jukebox play all over the country.
Although first tenor Larry Hampden was the only original group member, the sound was vintage Channels (spelled Channells on the label).
The Chantels' first live performance was at a Jocko show at the Apollo Theatre (Jocko was a legendary New York disc jockey at the time) in which the group was not even on the bill.

 Cal Percussion * About: Tenor Drums
Of course, within Cal Percussion, the tenor drums' melodic range likewise pales in comparison to that of the glockenspiel; but it is specifically the sound of a drum and the musical versatility of a set of them that makes the tenor drums distinctly important to the full and overall sound of the (battery) drumline.
Therefore, tenor drums have, in the recent course of the marching percussion world's progression, proven to be a favorite among drummers and virtually indispensable to any drumline that has sought to play percussion pieces, cadences, and performance parts with percussive style and groove.
A tenor drummer must be well-versed in not only the rudimental drumming of a snare drummer, but consciously so for multiple drums, enabling them to perform a variety of skillful maneuvers and techniques that they are so well-known for.

 My Journey with the Soprano Saxophone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
After the first flush of talent and success with all the dreams and desires accompanying that stage, there naturally comes a point in the development where concentration of energy becomes necessary and one can see that with focus, greater gains may be realized.
First of all, I probably had gone as far as I could on the soprano without spending an intense practice period to get to the next level, which my life circumstances just did not allow for at the time.
I can say that playing the tenor with the full force and energy of your whole body is refreshing after spending so much time with a horn that involves more of the top part of the body exclusively.

The group's sound on these first recordings, though not exactly sparkling or full,, was still innovative for a white group in early 1958, placing them on the line between pop and rock/doo wop.
First known as Dion and the Belmonts, the four Italian lads were the darlings of pop doo wop sound in the late '50s.
Given that tough neighborhood it is not surprising that their first groups were not singing groups at all, but street gangs, Dion with the Fordham Daggers and Freddie and Carlo with the Imperial Hoods.

 Stravinsky's Topology: CHAPTER 6 Threni: Large-Scale Musical-Poetical and Formal Row Employment with Objects
In M. 112, the first tenor sings R-11 from the Third Object as the second sings P-0 from the First Object; in M. 113, the first tenor sings I-0 from the First Object as the second sings RI-5 from the Third Object.
Possibly the first two pitches were transcribed from the treble clef, and should have been E and C (9 and 10), and the F (11) in M. 258 should have been a G. Nevertheless, the wrong-ordering in the score seems to convey the words about the individual's a lienation from society.
The row is first sung by the soprano and alto soloists, and the tenor and bass soloists answer with a hexachord made of the outer notes from the row (3, 2, 1, 12, 11, 10).

Their first single in the fall of 1957 was a Bobby Day-penned rocker called "Little Bitty Pretty One," which looked like a smash until Thurston Harris and the Sharps outclassed it, reaching number six Pop and number two RandB on Aladdin; the Satel-lites' single crashed and burned on takeoff.
Fremont was one of the first High Schools in the United States to integrate in 1954 and that was evident in the racial make-up of the Jaguars.
Their first single was "The Letter," a ballad in the style of THE DIABLOS' "The Wind." It had more talking than singing and was immortalized by Vernon's lines "let me whisper sweet words of pismatality" (don't look it up-Vernon invented the word "pismatality," but oldies listeners didn't know it for years to come).

The 1990 Three Tenors concert in Rome was originally conceived to raise money for this Foundation and as a way for Carreras’ colleagues, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, to welcome their "little brother" back to the world of opera.
