This Memphis group included some excellent vocalists, although they didn't enjoy as much success as some other Stax artists. <a href="spotify:artist:49lN9BRBuD456jzCfImbFR">Ollie Nightingale</a> (born Ollie Hoskins), Quincy Clifton Billops, Jr., Nelson Lesure, Bill Davis, and Rochester Neal were the original members. Billops had been in <a href="spotify:artist:4x2osw7xi8s1Jy04R6rTrn">the Mad Lads</a>. Their biggest single was "I Got a Sure Thing" in 1968, which made the R&B Top 20. It was also their lone hit. <a href="spotify:artist:49lN9BRBuD456jzCfImbFR">Nightingale</a> left in 1970 and was replaced by <a href="spotify:artist:5ZAdhQ0HJFv85oFNgrkCpi">Sir Mack Rice</a>. Neal, Billops, and Davis became <a href="spotify:artist:4pZJw2pjpyxcqdOUmYdwSY">the Ovations</a> in 1972. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
