I THINK GENE MUMFORD WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST LEAD SINGERS OF ALL TIME.
BESIDES THE LARKS HE WAS THE LEAD SINGER ON TWO OF THE DOMINOES MONSTER HITS.
'STARDUST' AND 'DEEP PURPLE' GENE WAS ONE OF THREE GREAT LEADS THAT THE DOMINOES HAD,
THE FIRST WAS CLYDE MCPHATTER THEN WHEN HE LEFT
JACKIE WILSON BECAME THE NEW LEAD,
THEN WHEN JACKIE LEFT GENE MUMFORD BECAME THE GREAT LEAD.
BILLY WARDS DOMINOES NEVER GAVE CREDIT TO THE LEADS THEY WERE ALL UNCREDITED.
THEY ALL LEFT BECAUSE BILLY WARD WAS VERY CHEAP AND HELD TOO TIGHT A REIGN ON THE GROUP.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENE MUMFORD SONGS WAS:
ON APOLLO LABEL-- THE LARKS W/LEAD GENE MUMFORD
*********************************************
435 My Lost Love (GM)/
How Long Must I Wait For You (DM) — 12/51
IN 1945, GENE WAS FALSELY ACCUSED OF RAPING A WHITE WOMAN DOWN SOUTH IT WAS A YEAR BEFORE HIS TRIAL AND HE WAS FOUND GUILTY AND PUT ON THE CHAIN GANG.
HE SPENT 29 MONTHS ON THE CHAIN GANG., HIS FATHER NEVER GAVE UP HOPE BUT HIS CONVICTION WAS UPHELD ON APPEAL EVEN THOUGH HE HAD AN ALIBI WHERE HE WAS.
GENES FATHER AND THE N.C. STATE INVESTIGATORS WORKED TO PROVE GENE INNOCENT
AND THE GOVERNOR HAD HIM RELEASED AND HE WAS COMPLETELY EXONERATED.
THIS WAS LIKE A MIRACLE IN THE 40s A BLACK MAN ACCUSED OF RAPING A WHITE WOMAN
AND THEN BEING FOUND COMPLETELY INNOCENT AND IN JULY 1949 GENE WAS RELEASED.
GENE WAS A FREE MAN.
HE THEN WROTE' MY LOST LOVE' AS HIS GIRLFRIEND WHO PROMISED HIM SHE WOULD WAIT WAS IN THE WIND.
ONE OF THE LINES IN THE SONG WAS "I EVEN LOOKED IN THE LOST AND FOUND".
I THINK GENE MUMFORD WAS ONE OF THE GREAT LEAD SINGERS.
HE WAS ONLY 51 YEARS OLD WHEN HE DIED.
A GREAT VOICE QUIETED WAY TOO EARLY.
I KNOW HIS WONDERFUL VOICE IS IN DOOWOP HEAVEN.
I LOVE THIS STUFF
JIMMY THE DOOWOP 'GEEZER'
YOU CAN HEAR BOTH STARDUST AND DEEP PURPLE ON THE JUKEBOX HALL OF FAME QUEENS.
HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM.
