In 1954 four young men joined together and released
their first song, "No, There Ain't No News Today". From
that day on history was made. The original members of The Penguins were
Cleve Duncan, Dexter Tisby, Curtis Williams and Bruce Tate. 
In 1955, "Earth Angel" was released. Now, 50 years later, "Earth
Angel" is being remixed and re-released to a whole new generation.
Over the past 50 years, "Earth Angel" has been recorded
by such artists as Elvis Presley, Johnny Tillotson (#57 on the Pop charts,
1960), The Cleftones, The Vogues (#42 on the Pop charts, 1969), The New
Edition (#21 on the Pop charts, 1986), even Joan Baez (at a 1977 German
concert). Cleve Duncan, backed by a reconstituted Penguins (Walter Saulsberry
and a group called The Viceroys), included the song in the popular 1961
medley single "Memories of El Monte," produced by Frank Zappa. The Penguins'
original version found new life when Art Laboe reissued it on his 1958
"Memories of El Monte" LP and then on his first "Oldies But Goodies" album
(Original Sound 5001), which has remained in print for 40 years.
