Windlesoul Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Got news through from Nashville that Eddie Frierson, the last surviving member of The Hytones, has just passed away. Pic here shows, from left, Freddie Waters, Eddie and Arthur 'Skeet' Alsup. R.I.P. Eddie.

Dobber Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Is it fair to assume that these chaps in the video are the hytones? Being the backing group on the recording? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Windlesoul Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Yes that's the Hytones, the girls with them are The Tides (also spelled Tydes on occasion). The Hytones appear on other Night Train footage too, including Peggy Gaines' excellent (unreleased) version of One Step Ahead.

Harrogatesoul Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sad day today with Eddie & Rance leaving us. The Hy-Tones YDEKMN was one of the first northern tunes I totally fell in love in the late eighties as a teenager. RIP Eddie. Was Eddie related to Wendy (Rene) Frierson and thus James (fry) Frierson?
