Five Keys

The Five Keys rank among the pioneering rhythm & blues and doo-wop groups of the early 1950s. Formed as early as 1946 in the state of Virginia, they helped pave the way for Black vocal groups into the pop charts alongside peers such as The Orioles, The Crows and The Penguins.

They first performed as The Sentimental Four, made up of brothers Rudy and Bernie West together with Raphael and Ripley Ingram. When Dickie Smith, a cousin of the Harptones' Willie Winfield, joined them, they adopted the new name Five Keys. Before their first record in early 1951, Maryland Pierce (from The Avalons) replaced Raphael Ingram.

Cast in the mould of the popular Orioles, their ballad patterns ran close until the group scored a major hit with 'Glory Of Love' on Aladdin. Rudy West was part of the line-up from 1952 to 1955 and, during his absence, was deputized by Ulysses S. Hicks, who died late in 1954. Ramon Loper stood in for Dickie Smith from 1953 until early 1955 while Smith served in the military.

They recorded in New York, Los Angeles and Cincinnati, first for Aladdin and later for Capitol and King Records. After a July 1954 session for the RCA subsidiary Groove, manager Sol Richfield negotiated a better deal with Capitol. There 'Ling Ting Tong' became their first hit, followed by many more through 1959 that made the Five Keys one of the most popular harmony groups of their era.
