<a href="spotify:artist:3r9TXuXfOUxXjgYgAR0fP8">The Rollers</a> -- <a href="spotify:artist:2RwV62DIxFGEn8aWO3iaMM">Al Wilson</a>, Eddie Wilson, Don Sampson, and Willie Willingham -- disbanded after three Liberty records singles in 1961. Initially the Jewels, the quartet formed in San Bernadino, CA, after <a href="spotify:artist:2RwV62DIxFGEn8aWO3iaMM">Al Wilson</a> got out of the Navy. "Bonneville" b/w "Got My Eye on You," released January of 1961, got played locally. A March release, "The Continental Walk" sold well in quite a few locales, but it stalled at number 80 on Billboard's survey. Bad blood developed over royalties, and the Liberty situation was souring. A third single, the poor-selling "The Teenage Waltz" b/w "The Bounce" gave no cause for celebration so they disbanded. <a href="spotify:artist:33en8VeldCDiT3t3KKh4nm">Sampson</a> joined the Incredibles in 1968; Eddie Wilson left secular for gospel music; and Willingham left the business period. The late <a href="spotify:artist:2RwV62DIxFGEn8aWO3iaMM">Al Wilson</a> sang with <a href="spotify:artist:6uOZsbojy1SyLFb9MqfOPT">Johnny Harris & the Statesmen</a> in the mid-'60s but enjoyed notoriety as a solo artist, scoring a number one hit with "Show and Tell" and charting with "The Snake" and "I Got a Feeling." ~ Andrew Hamilton
