Colts & Related Connections

The book ranked all Colts as one group.  Vita 114 was listed as Jackie Kelso & The Colts.

The Doo-Wop Society Of Southern Calfornia provided a group history and listed a discography.

Marv Goldberg’s Colts’ biography moved the group through their career.

With the book as a guideline and the two mentioned sources, scans from other sources were used to construct this post.  Thanks to all.
