Though largely unknown among contemporary audiences, Dee
Clark was one of the most successful R&B singers of the late
'50s and early '60s, his resonant, expressive tenor gracing
classics like "Raindrops" and "(Hey) Little Girl." Delecta Clark
was born in Blytheville, Arkansas on November 7, 1938; from
the age of three, he grew up on Chicago's West Side, in 1952
joining with schoolmates Sammy McGrier and Ronnie Strong
in the Hambone Kids.

A fad that required performers to slap their thighs, chests, and
other parts of the body in emulation of what's now known as a
Bo Diddley beat, the Hambone Kids were popular long enough
for the teenage trio to collaborate with Red Saunders & His
Orchestra for a single, also titled "Hambone," issued on Okeh
in 1952. The record was a minor hit, but in 1953 Clark moved
on, assuming lead duties with the Chicago vocal group the
Goldentones - when local DJ Herb "The Kool Gent" Kent took
over their management, he rechristened his charges the Kool
Gents, landing them a recording deal with Chicago's Vee-Jay
label.

The group issued its debut single "This Is the Night" in early
1956, followed that summer by "I Just Can't Help Myself" (as
the Delegates, they also released "The Convention," a novelty
record inspired by that year's presidential election.
