Sevilles

This LA group is a mystery of sorts. The members weren't exactly clear, but it is known that they share members with another L.A. group, The Jaguars, including Manny Chavez and Herman "Sonny" Chaney. The songwriting credits throughout their career elude to the idea that there might have been switch in members over the years. The Sevilles recorded for several West Coast labels, including JC, Cal-Gold and Galaxy. Through the moves, they maintained a strong relationship with producers Fred Smith and Cliff Goldsmith, most famous for their work with another L.A. group, The Olympics. The biggest hit for The Sevilles was "Charlena", which was released originally on JC, then again on Galaxy. "Baby" was released in 1963, and was to be the last record put out by the group. As is the L.A. style, I am assuming they probably disbanded to become involved in other projects.
