TEARS ON MY PILLOW * CHIMES * SPECIALTY 555 * USA
According to Tony Allan, who sings lead on Tears On My Pillow, The Chimes sang vocal backing for "everybody" on Speciality; it was this group composed of Charles Jackson, David Cobb, Pookie Whooten and John Talbert. that backed Allan on Nite Owl . The song is a classic DooWop ballad, with full on sentimental lyrics, that are managed, through good voicing and fazing, so as not to slide into mush.
