Club Penguin Funny Pictures Biography

Future Penguins leader Curtis Williams was already a member of the Hollywood Flames, a vocal group who'd already had a minor hit with "Buzz Buzz Buzz," when he bumped into former classmate Cleveland Williams wowing the crowd at the California Club on what was then Santa Barbara Avenue. Williams, impressed by Cleve's ability, asked him to front a new group he was forming, and before long they were a quartet, rounded out by Dexter Tisby, the best singer Cleve knew from his high school, and Bruce Tate, the best singer Curtis knew from his. Cleve's cousin, Ted Brinson, was also entrenched in the local scene, having played bass for Jimmie Lunceford, and he also knew Dootsie Williams, head of Dootone Records. Before long, the new group had a contract and a studio.
Success:

Mixing hard R&B with the "pop vocal" style common to vocal groups of the day, the Penguins were in the right place at the right time; they were also self-contained, with Williams claiming to have penned two original songs, "Hey Senorita" and "Earth Angel." That notwithstanding, Dootsie opted to have them record two of his songs first: "There Ain't No News Today" and "I Ain't Gonna Cry." Neither single attracted much notice, and so Dootsie finally okayed the next single: "Hey Senorita," with "Earth Angel" on the flip. Local DJs, knowing what was up, immediately started playing the flip instead, and the success was so great and grew so quickly that Dootsie couldn't afford keep up the pressings.
Later years:

This is when Buck Ram, manager of the Platters, stepped in, taking over the group and promising them the big time. His first move was to get them signed to Mercury, but only if the label also took hos other act, The Platters. Having used the Penguins as leverage, and owning the Platters outright, Ram then began to give all his good songs to the latter group, leaving the Penguins with a lot of novelty songs and "Earth Angel" rewrites. Though they continued on afterwards, even scoring a few minor R&B hits, the Penguins' salad days were behind them. However, they enjoyed great success on the oldies circuit, touring behind their legendary hit for four decades. Lead singer Duncan passed away in 2012.
Penguins awards and honors:
