The Camelots

David Nicholas (lead and 1st tenor), Milton Pratt (lead, second tenor and baritone), Joe Mercede (1st tenor), Elijah Summers (baritone) and Julius Williams (bass) shaped this R&B vocal group in the past due 50s in Brooklyn, NY, USA. Just Williams had earlier experience, having documented using the Tremaines in 1958. Still with out a name, the brand new quintet held rehearsing before change of the 10 years, producing their debut for Crimson Information with ‘Don’t Keep Me Baby’ in 1961. On growing from a fresh York subway, the music group noticed a billboard ad for the Broadway musical Camelot, and required this as their name. The Camelots produced their debut on Aanko in 1963 with ‘Your Method’, an upgrade of a previous Heartbeats strike. Another cover edition followed, this time around the Harptones’ ‘A Weekend Kind Of Like’. More lucrative was their 1964 launch, ‘Pocahontas’, which noticed a proceed to Ember Information. For Cameo Information, they documented the gospel-tinged ‘Don’t Keep Me Baby’, another solid effort that shown the flexibility of its performers. A succession of singles implemented for a number of brands, including Situations Square and Relic Information, but by the center of the 10 years the group was treading drinking water and made a decision to break up quickly thereafter. Like therefore a lot of their peers, the group re-formed in the first 80s on the trunk of doo-wop and R&B vocal nostalgia, using a line-up offering Pratt and Williams alongside beginners Michael Regan, Joe Pitts (ex-Paragons) and Ernest Burnside (ex-Paragons). The re-formed group released only 1 new documenting, an EP offering their best-remembered oldies, ‘Pocahontas’ and ‘Don’t Keep Me Baby’, alongside previously unissued archive monitors. Despite a solid reception because of their revitalized concert events, the group split up again in Oct 1984.
