One of the joys of having thousands of records is sometimes finding gems in your collection that you didn't know you had (or, in my case probably just forgot I had). I found one of those tonight. It is titled "Rex Middleton's Hi-Fi's". It is on Verve, MGV-2035. From the label and liner information, I would guess it is from 1957 or so.The group is a black, male quartet and quintet, singing mostly standards like: Moonglow, Undecided, Sometimes I'm Happy, Bernie's Tune, etc. However, they sing with wonderful harmonies and a more uptempo rhythm than usual for the songs.
It is so good, that I was shocked that I hadn't been listening to it at all for all of these years.
Have any of you ever heard of this group or this record? I can't find any information on it.
