The Mello-Moods - (Where Are You) Now That I Need You

[09mskitty]

Does anyone have a copy of "I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night" by Ray Wooden & the Mello Moods? If so, please, please post it.

What group did Wooten go on to sing with? He was FANTASTIC--long before Scoolboys, Teenagers etc. This is the way R&B ballads sounded in the early 1950s-- the background group was relatively "quiet" compared to later years.

@doctordoowop This, as far as I know was the only group that Ray "Buddy" Wooden ever sang with. He was great and we lost him far too early. R.I.P. Buddy.

There is something wrong - i think this is Lillian Leech and the Mellos (who were the mello-tones) but there's no lady in the picture.

@oldcoachcrane I don't think there's anything wrong. This is a pre-pubertal Ray Wooten singing. Perhaps that's why you think it sounds like a woman vocalist. The Mello-Moods are posing on the picture.

Where were these guys from? I've heard either Baltimore or the West Coast.

@billchew450 They were from Harlem. I like the uptemp side, I Tried, Tried and Tried on Prestige.
