177 The Robins “Riot in Cell Block #9” 1954

“California’s first ‘bird’ group was formed when Ty Terrell Leonard and the Richard brothers Billy and Roy met at Alameda High School in San Francisco in 1945, and formed ‘A-Sharp Trio’” (angelfire.com). “Despite having only a few national hits, the Robins, nevertheless, were an essential part of West Coast Rhythm and Blues” (uncamarvy.com).
