The Pearls

The Pearls

The Pearls has been played on NTS in shows including Los Hitters, featured first on 18 May 2021. Songs played include Can I Call You Baby.

There are at least three groups named The Pearls:

The Pearls were an early 70s girl vocal duo from the UK, featuring Lyn Cornell and Ann Simmons. They released a number of singles, the most successful being "Guilty" which reached #10 in the UK charts in the summer of 1974

The Pearls were a short-lived 80s new wave/punk band from Los Angeles. They put out one single on Tonguelash Records and recorded an album that was never released. Their guitarist, Brad Rabuchin, went onto play guitar for Ray Charles.

3.The Pearls were a late 1950s doo wop group from Detroit, USA. The Pearls counted among its members that future maestro of "The Happy Organ," Dave "Baby" Cortez, when he still went by the name David Clowney, and showed a predilection for novelties. Nonsense syllables and hep "teen talk" are heard throughout fun-filled, energetic songs like "Yuz a Ma Tuz" and "Zippity Zippity Zoom." A doo wop rendition of Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" is an interesting experiment.
