“They often call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl,” sings the group’s lead Earl Carroll -- and his nickname was Speedo. The Cadillacs, from Harlem, New York, are known for their choreography and great performances as well as their singing. The group had numerous personnel changes over the years, but for the “Speedoo” recording, the members were Earl Carroll, LaVerne Drake, Robert Phillips, Charles Brooks, and Earl Wade with the Jesse Powell Orchestra. In 1955, the song went to #3 on the R B Chart and #17 on the U.S. Pop Chart. Songs such as Speedoo helped to make this type of music (doo-wop, rock and roll) attractive to a larger audience. The group also had success with Gloria, Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Peek-A-Boo, and What You Bet. • For golden oldies music, please visit us at http://dailydoowop.com/recroom/
