The Midnighters

The backup group with R&B tale Hank Ballard, this Detroit band was called the Royals if they formed in 1952. Henry Booth, Charles Sutton, Lawson Smith, and Sonny Woods had been the initial lineup. Ballard changed Smith in 1953 and became the business lead singer. They truly became the Midnighters in 1954. The group disbanded briefly in 1965, after that reformed with Frank Stadford, Walter Miller, and Wesley Hargrove. This device worked within the Wayne Brown Revue for quite some time.
