Groupe Doo Wop
US, les Orioles ont été formé par Sonny Til en 1946 à Baltimore (Maryland),
d'abord sous le nom des Vibranaires. Découverts par la compositrice Deborah Chessler
qui les appelle Orioles et les fait enregistrer sur un petit label : It's A
Natural Records. En 1954, le groupe se sépare et un nouveau groupe se forme avec de nouveaux membres et signe chez Vee Jay Records de Chicago (Illinois).
Led by Sonny
Til, the Orioles were the first black Vocals group to sing music directly for a
black audience. Through their early recordings -- which were made in the late
'40s and early '50s -- the band laid the groundwork for R&B Vocals groups and doo
wop. The Orioles fused traditional pop songs with gospel sensibilities and
arranged blues and gospel material with smooth harmonies, designed to appeal to
the broadest audience possible.
Based in Baltimore, MD, the Orioles consisted of lead vocalist Sonny Til (born
Earlington Carl Tilghman, August 18, 1928; died December 9, 1981), Alexander
Sharp (tenor Vocals), George Nelson (baritone Vocals), Johnny Reed (bass Vocals),
and guitarist Tommy Gaither. Originally called the Vibranaires, the group formed
when its members were teenagers. They came to the attention of Deborah Chessler,
a local merchant who also wrote songs; she would write many of the group's
subsequent hits. Chessler became the band's manager and she was able to get the
Vibranaires a spot on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts television show. Although
the group lost to pianist George Shearing, they caught the eye of Jerry Blaine,
a New York record company executive, while they were in town for the program.
Blaine signed the group to his newly created It's a Natural record label and had
the band cut "It's Too Soon to Know," a ballad written by Chessler. After they
signed their deal with It's a Natural, the band changed its name to the Orioles.
In the late summer of 1948, "It's Too Soon to Know" was released on It's a
Natural, but shortly after the single's release, National Records complained
about the name of Blaine's new label, so he re-released the song on Jubilee
Records, a record label he had previously used to release Yiddish comedy
records. "It's Too Soon to Know" became a number one R&B hit and crossed over to
number 13 on the pop charts. At the time of its release, no black group had
managed to cross over to the pop charts with what was then known as a "race"
record. The Orioles immediately followed the success of their debut single with
the seasonal "(It's Gonna Be A) Lonely Christmas," which reached the R&B Top Ten
at the end of 1948.
"Tell Me So" became the Orioles' second number one R&B hit in the spring of
1949, beginning a streak of six R&B hit singles that year. In addition to "Tell
Me So," the group charted with "A Kiss and a Rose" (number 12, late summer), "I
Challenge Your Kiss" (number 11, fall), "Forgive and Forget" (number five, fall),
a re-released "(It's Gonna Be A) Lonely Christmas" (number five, winter), and
the B-side of "Lonely Christmas," "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" (number
nine, winter).
Following their peak year of 1949, the group ran into tragedy. In 1950, Gaither,
Nelson, and Reed suffered an automobile accident that killed Gaither and
severely injured the other two members; Nelson quit the group later in the year.
As Reed recovered from the accident, the group found replacements for Gaither
and Nelson, finally settling on guitarist Ralph Williams and vocalist Gregory
Carroll. The new lineup of the band had its first hit in 1952, when "Baby Please
Don't Go" reached number eight on the R&B charts. The following year, the group
had their biggest hit with "Crying in the Chapel." Released in the summer of
1953, "Crying in the Chapel" spent five weeks on the R&B charts and reached
number 11 on the pop charts, eventually going gold;
Elvis Presley had a hit with the song 12 years later. Toward the end of the
year, the group had another Top Ten R&B hit with "In the Mission of St.
Augustine." The single would turn out to be their last hit.
In 1954, the Orioles began to splinter, as Sharp and Reed left to join
the Ink Spots. Til assembled a new lineup, but the group didn't gain much
attention. He continued to lead various incarnations of the Orioles, performing
concerts and re-recording the group's old hits, until his death in 1981. Nelson
died sometime in 1959 and Sharp died in the early '70s. In 1995, 40 years after
the original lineup of the group disbanded, the Orioles were inducted into the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
