The Charts'
1957 hit "Deserie" endures as a doo wop classic, despite the fact that it failed
to chart. Formed in 1956, the Harlem-born group — led by lead vocalist Joseph
Grier and featuring Leroy Binns, Ross Buford, and Glenmore Jackson — were
managed by musician Les Cooper, a native of Norfolk, VA, who had previously been
a member of the Empires and the Whirlers, and by the mid-'50s was already a
longtime scenemaker on New York's doo wop scene.
Cooper scored the Harlem quintet a contract with Danny Robinson's Everlast
imprint and they recorded their only hit, "Deserie," the following year. It was
covered by the Blue Angels for Del-Fi's Selma imprint on the West Coast. After a
few more 45s for Everlast, the Charts disbanded in 1958. Cooper eventually cut a
hit single with his own group, the Soul Rockers, in 1962. The vocal A-side was "Dig
Yourself," but the major hit was the instrumental B-side, "Wiggle Wobble," which
featured a prominent King Curtis-styled tenor sax performance by former-Charts
lead singer Grier.
