Description

"Billy Ward and the Dominoes" Pink Label Promo LP Decca 8621 (1958). Few groups can boast the pedigree of the collective individual talent that made up the Dominoes. Ward himself was a church and classically-trained (Juilliard) pianist, and a peerless recruiter of talent for his group, from Clyde McPhatter to Charles White (later with the Clovers) to Jackie Wilson, just for starters. This album from 1958 included the group's first Pop crossover hit, "St. Therese of the Roses". This is a pink label promo copy; the cover is an eye-catching textured beauty. Condition: NM 8/ EX 7.
