Barons (Greenwood SC Label) – Jay Walk {I}/ If You Want A Little Lovin [sic], ’59 (Key 1001)

• The book listed in error as part of Detroit Group.

 

The following source lists included group members as Henry L. Taylor (1923-2010), Milton H. Taylor and Johnny Cox.

 

At http://thatsallritemama.blogspot.com/2011/11/barons-on-key.html, mention is made that Johnny Cox wrote and recorded ‘Black Slacks’ with the Barons.

• This information is confusing and might be without merit.
  • Any details I found credit Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones charting ‘Black Slacks’ in 1957.  All sources list gms, without mention of Johnny Cox.  A talent scout, Bob Cox became involved with the Sparkletones.
