Subject: 'The Pair Extraordinaire' - know 'em?
Does anyone remember a duo called "The Pair Extraordinaire" ? I seem to recall they were African American's from the Great Folk Scare of the 60's - they consisted of a singer and a stand up bass player. That's it. Some of their material was on the jazzy side with some spirituals thrown in but they played the folk circut. I might have even seen them on "Hootenanny" but I seem to think they did some of the varity shows on TV. Anyone remember them ? Where are they ? Are they still in the business ?
