Rousing this thread because I was looking for information about The Rebels gospel quartet, and wondered if any catters know more than I've been able to find from Google, which is that they existed, pretty much.

I saw The Rebels in a concert hall in Florida, Tampa or Orlando, 1957, when I was six years old, and have never forgotten them. It was likely the first time I saw live singers on stage, and I was spellbound. They were wonderful.

I note Stewie, above, had assumed they were white, but if it's the same group on his compilation album, they were black.
