“The group started in 1955 as high school students in Lancaster, South Carolina. At that time they were calling themselves the Royal Charms. They appeared locally in clubs, colleges, and universities.” After a successful recording audition in Nashville, they changed their names to the Gladiolas and then to the Zodiacs when told their former record producer, Excello, owned the name “Gladiola” (Mitch Rosalsky, Encyclopedia of Rhythm & Blues and Doo-Wop Vocal Groups, 2000).
