quick search found these Ernie K-Doe, the eccentric rhythm-and-blues singer best known for his 1961 No. 1 hit "Mother-in-Law," died Thursday at a New Orleans hospital. He was 65. The cause was cirrhosis, said his wife and manager, Antoinette. Mr. K-Doe's career peaked in the early 1960s with a series of catchy, sing- along rhythm-and-blues hits, but afterward his career floundered, and he became an alcoholic. In the 1990s, however, he sobered up and reinvented himself as one of the most memorable cultural figures in New Orleans, where he lived. He became a fixture there in 1995 when he opened the Mother-in-Law Lounge, where on almost any night Mr. K-Doe could be found entertaining customers with renditions of his songs and his self-worshiping maxims. "There aren't but three songs that will last for eternity," he used to tell patrons. "One is 'Amazing Grace.' Another is 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' And the third is 'Mother-in-Law,' because as long as there are people on this earth, there will always be mother-in-laws." The son of a Baptist minister, Mr. K-Doe was born Ernest Kador Jr. at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. He began singing in church choirs and gospel groups, including the Golden Choir Jubilee of New Orleans and the Divine Traveler. As a teenager he performed regularly at local talent shows, where he met singers like Little Richard. Mr. K-Doe always said that he cobbled together his style from a combination of the energy, singing and marching of Baptist church services and performers he shared the stage with, like Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Huey "Piano" Smith and, later, James Brown. He is believed to have toured briefly with the Flamingos and the Moonglows before returning to New Orleans to join the Blue Diamonds. In 1959 he recorded his first local solo hit, "Hello, My Lover." Recording for the Minit label at the time, he stumbled across a song in a studio trash can that would forever be associated with his name. The song was "Mother-in-Law." Its producer and writer was Allen Toussaint, who was only 23 at the time. Toussaint played piano on the song, and a bass vocalist, Benny Spellman, who happened to be rehearsing in the studio, performed the memorable bass backing. The song reached No. 1 on the rhythm-and-blues and the pop charts in 1961. Gary U.S. Bonds was born June 6, 1939 in Jacksonville, Florida. His father, Gary, was a professor at Hampton University and his mother, Irene, was a music teacher. He was raised in Norfolk, Virginia where every Sunday he would sing in the church choir (at the insistence of his grandmother, Margaret). gary US bonds The Turks As a teenager, he formed a singing group called the "Turks". The "Turks" were four High School buddies that included Melvin "D.D." McNair, Hollis "Frizell" Coleman, and Thomas "Moose" High (Raymond Haskins and Hermione Gross later replaced Mcnair and High). The group had won and placed at several different talent shows and spent their spare time singing on the corner of Granville Avenue and Park (outside of "Boones Market") in the Brambleton section of Norfolk. Frank Guida, a local record distributor, would pass by the group several times on his way to work every day. Finally, he stopped to speak with the kids. He told them he had plans of owning his own label one day and he The LoveNotes wanted them to sign on. Well, a couple of years later he did start his label (LeGrand) and opened a studio. Only now, the group had disbanded, with everyone going their own way. Gary was the only member that had chosen to make a career out of singing. So, LeGrand records became the home some of the most unique sounding hits of that time, with one of the most influential voices of Rock 'n Roll guiding the way. only a couple but gladys came from amateur hour on the radio other famous one from that was frank sinatra, also pat boone mark

in the 50's and 60's in the US that was the main way to get noticed if you delve into the history of all the big artists from the late 50's to the 60's you will find that they were probably in talent shows every week. until they made it into the big time. mark
