Was it ever established that CHARLES & WALTER were really BOB & EARL. Certainly Relf and Nelson worked on the tracks this duo laid down. Their 45 didn't sell that well at the time of it's release but no doubt Chene struggled to get the word out about the single. It did get a bit of radio exposure, but that seems to be the limit of it's success.

ALSO, the next release on the CHENE label was actually by Bob & Earl ("The Sissy"), so that's another link that points to a connection.

I like both sides of their 45 ...

Some sources say it's Bobby Byrd (Day) and Earl Nelson others say it's Charles Fizer and Walter Ward (of the Olympics). I think both are possible with "Night" by the former and "Kissin" by the latter. Labels often did this to use up tracks they already had in the can.

i'm in the Charles Fizer, Walter Ward camp. Mack Starr was in the Olympics and that's on Chene.
