Lead
singer James "Shep" Sheppard co-wrote a series of velvety doo wop ballads for
the Heartbeats during the mid-'50s; one entry, "A Thousand Miles Away," was a
huge R&B seller in 1956. The Queens, New York quintet began its string of
street-corner classics with "Crazy for You" and "Darling How Long," culminating
with "A Thousand Miles Away." the Heartbeats recorded for Hull, Rama, Roulette,
Gee, and Guyden before packing it in. In 1961 the lead singer formed a new trio,
Shep & The Limelites, and scored
on the charts with a heartwarming sequel to his first hit, "Daddy's Home," for
Hull. "Our Anniversary" also sold well for Shep & The Limelites
the next year, but the trio broke up soon thereafter. Sheppard was found dead in
his auto on the Long Island Expressway in 1970.
