The link below is to a site dedicated to The Silhouettes which has been put together with a great deal of effort and care.
There is much, in fact a great deal to read, learn and enjoy. Great thanks must go to Elaine Lewis the widow of Rick Lewis for what has been made available. It's a credit to the men who wrote and sang together; Bill, Earl, Raymond, Richard, John and Cornelius.
She has recently produced a double CD (unique in many ways) of all their recorded songs including rehearsal out-takes, snippets of interviews and other moments caught on tape. This unique piece of production can only be sourced directly from Elaine at lewra@aol.com. I received a copy this way using Paypal recently. This really is a fantastic record of men at work doing what they love.
This is not a mass produced CD, but a very personal and close up record of a great male harmony group who gave so much, but, as is often the case, they received little in return. Doo-wop / transitional / soul / northern...........it's all there to be enjoyed. Give it a try.

Please note that the CD's contains much more than the jukebox and the clarity is far superior.
