Gene & Eunice

Western world Coast-based duo Gene & Eunice were the first ever to strike with “Kokomo,” recorded for the Combo label in past due 1954. Nevertheless, as luck could have it, it wasn’t a long time before RCA’s Perry Como acquired his own edition out and Snooky Lanson was shortly seen executing the melody on TV’s Your Strike Parade, successfully erasing the public’s short-term storage of the initial hit edition. The twosome re-recorded the melody for Aladdin, after that scored again using the ballad “THAT IS My Tale.” Right now, Gene & Eunice had been a huge pull on the non-public appearance circuit, but their following singles didn’t graph. It wasn’t until 1959 that they might find achievement with “Poco Loco,” documented for the tiny indie Case label.
