Interesting lineup of Columbus (King Pharoah, Caleb) vs Akron (Ruby, Rocco) at Columbus' Vet from 1963

The group made one 45 for Olimpic, with the R&B shouter "See About Me" and group ballad "I'm Yours". To round out the vocal sound the Emperors did some backing vocals. The record was a minor local hit. 

Talbert, Gilliam, and Cole are deceased.
