The Chimes (12)

US vocal group from Los Angeles, CA. Not long after Beverly Thompson left The Flairs, Richard Berry quit too. His place was taken by bass Randy Jones. Therefore, the Flairs were now Cornell Gunter, Charles Jackson (for recordings only), Pete Fox, Obie Jessie, and Randy Jones. In September 1954, Flair Records (5) released "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me" (led by Cornell) and "My Heart's Crying For You" (the whole group). This time the artist was listed as "The Chimes." Members: Cornell Gunter (Lead), Thomas 'Pete' Fox (Tenor), Obediah 'Obie' Jessie (Baritone), Randy Jones (Bass)
