the album cover for Cues - Why (Uk)

Formed by Atlantic Records' head of A&R Jesse Stone in 1954, THE CUES were one of the outstanding vocal groups of the 1950s. Their core personnel were Ollie Jones, Robie Kirk (aka Winfield Scott), Jimmy Breedlove, Abel de Costa, and Eddie Barnes, each member a superlative lead singer in his own right. They recorded prolifically, for Lamp, Jubilee, Groove and Capitol, making the US charts with 'Burn That Candle' (which was covered by Bill Haley & His Comets) and 'Why'. Elsewhere they also sung on dozens of hits of the era, incognito, backing singers like Ruth Brown, Lavern Baker, Big Joe Turner, Nat "King" Cole, Roy Hamilton, Ivory Joe Hunter, Clyde McPhatter, etc. This unique compilation comprises everything that they recorded variously as The Cues, and The 4 Students in the 50s; a one-off 1960 "reunion" 45rpm, credited to Eddie Barnes; and four sides featuring them backing other artists
