by Bryan ThomasThe Charts 1957 hit Deserie endures as a doo wop classic, despite the fact that it failed to chart. Formed in 1956, the Harlem-born group — led by lead vocalist Joseph Grier and featuring Leroy Binns, Ross Buford, and Glenmore Jackson — were managed by musician Les Cooper, a native of Norfolk, VA, who had previously been a member of the Empires and the Whirlers, and by the mid-50s was already a longtime scenemaker on New Yorks doo wop scene. Cooper scored the Harlem quintet a contract with Danny Robinsons Everlast imprint and they recorded their only hit, Deserie, the following year. It was covered by the Blue Angels for Del-Fis Selma imprint on the West Coast. After a few more 45s for Everlast, the Charts disbanded in 1958. Cooper eventually cut a hit single with his own group, the Soul Rockers, in 1962. The vocal A-side was Dig Yourself, but the major hit was the instrumental B-side, Wiggle Wobble, which featured a prominent King Curtis-styled tenor sax performance by former-Charts lead singer Grier.
