DUKE OF EARL - The Duke Of Earl LP


Had to hear the original so I grabbed this at the dollar sale.  Not sure his real name.

Gene Chandler

His real name was Gene Chandler. He went by that name until the "Duke of Earl" song was a big hit, and then he was known as the Duke of Earl for the rest of his career.

I got curious and looked Gene Chandler up on Wikipedia. Apparently, he's still performing around the Chicago area at 81 years old! And his hits spanned the eras of doo-wop, rhythm & blues, soul, funk, and disco. That's pretty amazing!
