Extract :
“When we recorded at the Columbia studios, you wouldn’t believe the talent that played in there. Floyd Cramer, Boots Randolph and others. All union players. It was like music heaven. The musicians were very particular about getting the right sound. On one occasion the drummer went around the studio hitting the trash can and other objects so that he could get the sound needed for the record. We had some fun at those sessions. I never got to meet any of the white singers as we always recorded on different days. We didn’t even use the same doors; I came through the back along with the ladies that did back-up for me.”Alpha Zoe discography (probably incomplete)

My Inspiration
The Four Plaid Throats - My Inspiration
Mercury Records, 1953
No joke, a real group from California. Scarce record if you believe Jerry Osborne's "The 1.000 Most Valuable Records" (official guide to the money records) or a little more than 5$ if you trust one of the latest Tefteller's sale.
Oscar McLollie shared the stage with
the Four Plaid Throats for a weekend at the 5-4 Club in Los Angeles in May 1953. As a comic relief ?
