Rogers) > > The Classics IV didn't "become" the ARS any more than the Beatles > "became" Wings; the only person common to both groups is guitarist > J.R. Cobb. ARS' real antecedent is the Candymen, who started out as > Roy Orbison's backup band and who once featured Bobby Goldsboro as > lead guitarist. ARS organist Dean Daughtry, drummer Robert Nix, and > original lead singer Rodney Justo are all ex-Candymen. Evan Marcus got that piece of information (Classics IV -> ARS) from me, I believe, and I got it from the ARS when I interviewed them in 1977. It turns out that several of them played with the Classics IV but remained unlisted on cuts, discographies, etc. However, if my memory is correct, I believe that J.R. Cobb was the only "true" Classics IV player. -- Rich Kulawiec rsk@{pur-ee,purdue}.uucp, rsk@purdue-asc.csnet rsk@purdue-asc.arpa or rsk@asc.purdue.edu
