The Five Royales, “The Five Royales” (King, 1978; original recordings 1950s)
Classic pioneering rock-and-roll vocal group, distinguished by the addition of a (great) guitarist, Lowman Pauling. Pauling’s subtly explosive hollow-body interjections help give the singers a hard-hitting edge, and the rollicking rockers and heart-bearing ballads are among the period’s best.
