Groupe Doo
Wop US formé à Los Angeles (Californie) en 1961, Little Caesar & The Romans
comprenait David Caesar Johnson (16/06/1934-25/10/2018), Leroy Sanders, Johnny O'Simmons et Early
Harris. Ils se sont appelé aussi The Cubans et the Upfronts (dont Barry White
fit parti) . Ils se sont séparés en 1962.
Near the
end of the doo wop era, this Los Angeles group made the Top Ten with the
nostalgic "Those Oldies But Goodies (Reminds Me of You)," a piano-based ballad
that sounded a bit like a bridge between
the Five
Satins and
Little
Anthony & the Imperials. Doo wop's days were numbered when this was a hit in
1961, and indeed the song's title would quickly become a catch-all phrase for
rock records of all kinds that had left the charts several years ago. Little
Caesar & the Romans went on to record a few singles, and an LP, for Del-Fi in
1961 and 1962, some in a quaint Vocals group manner heavily derivative of "Those
Oldies But Goodies," others in a rougher, uptempo R&B mold akin to fellow L.A.
artists
the Olympics. They made the middle of the Top 100 with the dance tune "Hully
Gully Again," and topped out at #101 with "Memories of Those Oldies But
Goodies," a single that was even more nostalgic than its prototype. The
act, which performed in togas for a while, broke up in 1962, partly as a result
of a silly dispute between lead vocalist
Carl
Barnett and
David
Johnson (who did the spoken bridge of "Those Oldies But Goodies") as to who
was the real Little Caesar.
