Rare Teen Label Doc Starkes The Nite Riders I Know You’re In There Starlight & You 1955 45 RPM Doo Wop R&B

Found some very very nice 45s here in Phila area this one says I played drums on this... would that be Jimmy Johnson? Please see my other offerings and if you’re looking for something, let me know...don’t have time to list everything! Vinyl on this is bright and shiny no noticeable scratches or issues. Pics have light reflections only!

The Nite Riders

James "Doc" Starkes (bass, trombone), Melvin Smith (vocals, baritone saxophone), Vann "Piano Man" Walls (piano), Harry Crafton (guitar, vocals), Joe Sewell (tenor saxophone), Jimmy Johnson (drums)

In 1955 they were signed to the Philly based Teen label, and billed as Doc Starkes & his Nite Riders came Apple Cider b/w Way In The Middle Of A Dream. A somewhat toned down affair that seemed aimed at teens. Teen put forth six more singles that year without Starkes top billing-- I Know You're In There b/w Starlight and You followed by Got Me A Six Button Benny b/w Don't Hang Up The Phone, and then Waiting In The School Room b/w When A Man Cries. Their final single of '55 came out on Teen's Sound subsidiary with Starkes name again restored to top bill, a pair of Night Train style instrumentals-- The Vacation Train b/w Night Ridin', it was their best seller was leased to Capitol and sold well in the North East. Their final single for Teen/Sound was Tell The Truth b/w Never.
