Message: [QUOTE="donalddoowop, post: 3983516, member: 6552"] How could you leave out James "Pookie" Hudson of the Spaniels, Nate Nelson of the Flamingos and Bill Baker of the second version of the 5 Satins? In my opinion the best bass was Gerald Gregory of the Spaniels and the smoothest bass was Wally Roker of the Heartbeats. Pookie was the first lead singer to start singing on a mic by himself while the other members of the group gathered around one mic. He was very innovative. How could you leave him out?;) The ones you named were also favorites of mine. From what I read about Shep and his ego, he also thought he was the top lead singer of the era. [/QUOTE]
