Esquires (Nashville Tennessee) – Only The Angels Know/ One Word For This, ’55 (Hi-Po 1003)
- Writing credits are ‘Esquires’ with unknown group members.
The book linked the group to the Five Tinos.
-
- Five Tinos – Don’t Do That/ Sitting By My Window, ’55 (Sun 222)
- Five Tinos – Gonna Let You Go/ Mambo Baby (Recorded 1955), ’76 (Sun 514)
Based solely on sound likeness (Hi-Po 1003 & Sun 222), the two groups could be the same. The origin of the linkage is not known.
Without reaching any conclusions, most information is available for the Five Tinos.
- According to (unionavenue.nl/64258523) group members for the Five Tinos are Luchrie Jordan, Haywood Hebron, Marvin Walker, and Melvin Jones.
- Label scans reveal writing credits are ’Tinos.’

- Teenos – Love Only One/ Alrightee, ’58 (Dub 2839 & Relic 506, ’64)
Others also link the Five Tinos to the Teenos. Again based on sound likeness to the Five Tinos (Sun #514), the Teenos could be the same group.
- Scans found for the Teenos have three different writing credits: Tinos (Dub-original?), Walker (Relic 506) and M Walker (Dub-reissue?).
