Correct Answer: The Five Keys

The Five Keys was an American rhythm and blues vocal group that was instrumental in shaping this genre in the 1950s. They were signed to Aladdin Records in 1951, and in 1952 Rudy West left to join the United States Army, and he was replaced by Ulysses K. Hicks. When Hicks died of a heart attack in Boston in 1955, Rudy West returned to the group. In 1954 Dickie Smith left and was replaced with Ramon Loper. At this point, the Five Keys were signed to Capitol Records, and their popularity increased, although more instrumentation was used.

Unlike most of our trivia experts, Frankie never attended college. Instead, he spent hours under the hoods of many automobiles, vans, and trucks at his father's repair shop in the Mid-Atlantic region. Those hours of changing oil filters, repairing radiator leaks, and replacing fan belts paid great rewards, however. Frankie has contributed more than a few quizzes about motor vehicles, reminding us why Chevy Impalas became popular vehicles and how Edsel did not help the Ford family of vehicles with the car named after him. Although he primarily works with domestic vehicles, Frankie is also an expert in many import models.
