The "Alley Oop" session was produced by Kim Fowley; the already famous Sandy Nelson was the drummer. According to Jerry Osborne, two other groups ( Dante And The Evergreens ( Madison 130) and the Dyna-Sores ( Rendezvous 120)) had a version of "Alley Oop" on the charts at the same time. Frazier, who recorded "Alley Oop" in 1957, is perhaps best known for the song "There Goes My Everything," a hit song for Englebert Humperdinck in 1967. Paxton later formed Garpax Records and became a Gospel artist. REFERENCES
