Lee Andrews & The Hearts

Philadelphia remained a fertile hotbed for new groups. Lee Andrews and The Hearts came together in 1952 at Bartram High School as The Dreamers. Lead tenor Andrews, who was born in Goldsboro, North Carolina but arrived in south Philadelphia as a toddler, brought in first tenor Roy Calhoun, second tenor Butch Curry, baritone Jimmy McCalister, bass John Young and pianist Kenny Lowe.

The group auditioned for the popular WHAT-AM deejay Kae Williams in 1954, which led to their cutting demos of Maybe You'll Be There and Baby Come Back at Reco-Art Studios with Lowe's piano as their only accompaniment. That is when The Dreamers became The Hearts and the former Arthur Thompson adopted the stage name Lee Andrews (his middle names). Kae took the demos to Eddie Heller in New York, who issued them just as they were on his Rainbow label that April.

Andrews' musical tastes leaned more to the pop side of the tracks - his avowed influences included Nat Cole and Bing Crosby alongside The Ravens and the Orioles. Although Andrews had penned Baby Come Back, he reached for a pop standard for his first A-side. Maybe You'll Be There had been written in 1947 by Sammy Gallop and Rube Bloom and was a pop hit the following year for orchestra leader Gordon Jenkins on Decca; Eddy Howard waxed a competing version and Billie Holiday performed it live. Unfortunately for Lee and the Hearts, The Orioles covered Maybe You'll Be There in June for Jubilee. The end result: neither version became a hit. Heller reissued the song on his Rainbow subsidiary, where it sank without trace again.

Lee and The Hearts went on revisiting Tin Pan Alley ballads for Rainbow later in the year, crooning White Cliffs Of Dover (backed with their first up-tempo side, the Curry-led Much Too Much) and The Bells Of St. Mary's (Lee's own The Fairest made it another double-sided ballad release). McAlister joined the Navy in 1955 and Ted Weems replaced him. But Lee Andrews and The Hearts were only just warming up.

- Bill Dahl (from Various Vol. 6, Street Corner Symphonies 1954)
