R&B group formed in 1951. Auditioned for Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts program October 3, 1957. The group planned a recording session with Josie Records of original songs “I’m Only Passing By,” and “Journey Bells.” Not yet verified if record was ever released. There is no listing on the Josie discography. Don’t know if any relation, but only local clue is a record release of “Journey Bells” by the Goldtones on the Y-R-S label in 1962.
Still unable to find any details about The Goldtones, although they may have been related to local recording groups the Purcell Brothers (Tamango Records) and the Soulations (CEI Records).
