Born 1969; a singing group with varied backgrounds: Tim Hauser, from R&B, Alan Paul, from Broadway, and both Laurel Massé (later replaced by Cheryl Bentyne) and Janis Siegel sang jingles. Their 70s cult following (as a 40s-revivalist group) led to a brief, cool, CBS variety show. Then they changed gears, doing stuff like Allen Toussaint covers, and having non-swing collaborators like Ringo Starr and Dr. John. Their 80s/90s incarnation is as a yuppified Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross.
