NOTE:  Until recently, most sources agreed The Avalons and The Clickettes were the same group.  The following sheds some light on the error.

    • Both The Teen Clefs and Avalons (Bronx), along with the Clickettes, recorded for the ’Dice’ label.)

 

Avalons (Bronx) may also be The Teen Clefs – You Broke Our Hearts, ’58 (Dice 91)

  • It’s presently unconfirmed (Mar 13 2019) if this is the same Avalons or an unknown group of [Avalons (Bronx)].
  • The lead as [Johnnie Richardson] is also unconfirmed.
  • Writing credits for the title ‘You Broke Our Hearts’ is Johnnielouise Richardson.
    • An unreleased song of the same title, credited to Johnnie & Joe [Johnnie Louise Richardson, Joe Rivers] is a different song than the one issued on Dice 91.
