Other reviews that week were for to Ann Cole's In The Chapel, the Angels' The Glory Of Love, James Brown's Chonnie On Chon, the Keystoners' The Magic Kiss, the Parakeets' Yvonne, the Cubs' Why Do You Make Me Cry, the Youngsters' You're An Angel, the Romancers' This Is Goodbye, and Boogaloo & His Gallant Crew's Cops & Robbers. [Freeman Broughton's Fremont group] Although Freeman Broughton had been with the Meadowlarks for a year, he still found time to sing in school. He was in the Fremont a cappella chorus, and, along with three other members of the chorus, he formed a vocal group. The others were: Lorenzo Bobby Adams (a tenor who was also a member of the Calvanes), Sidney Dunbar (a bass who would join the Calvanes in 1961, when they recorded as the Nuggets), and Eddie Taylor (baritone). They rehearsed a couple of songs and, in November 1956, sang Three Coins In The Fountain on a TV talent show (where they were introduced simply as A group from John C. Fremont High School).
