Thank goodness there wasn't another r&b combo from that era called The Dervishes or something.

I get all of those old vocal groups mixed up - I usually recognise Platters songs as my dad played them a lot.

who are in an entirely different genre but I still can never remember which is which

... aren't they in the same genre? There's another one:
The Peddlers
... a mystery of a band, nobody has ever listened to them since ca. 1972.

I meant The Detroit Spinners, who were called that in the UK to differentiate them from the folky Spinners. At least I think I meant them. I'm just confusing myself further with all this, I give up.
