The resultwas that upon leaving college in the mid - fifties, the two buddies took one lookattheirpotentialand promptlyplungedintoshow business. Theirfirstdisc appearedin 1955 on the Spot label.Titled "Miss Sue"it was an inspired R & B opus-the shape of things thingstocome fromMessrs. Harris and Terry. It sold about 100,000 copies.

They spent three very happy years with Johnny, including a year as residents on his famous TV show. 1 UP -DATED In 1957 their composing abilities really blossomed when they wrote and recorded a song called "I'm Leaving It All Up To You". It sold very well, making the U.S. Hot Hundred, but we in Britain didn't hear the song untillatelastyear when the up -dated version by Dale and Grace sold a million across the world.It made the R.M. Top Fifty last January. Don and Dewey's greatest disc to date, however, must surely be "Big Boy Pete" b/w "Farmer John" issued by Specialty in 1959. It was not a huge hit, but laTer versionsofbothtitleshave clicked in a very big way. The Olympicssuccessfullyrevived "Big Boy Pete" in 1960, and "Far- mer John" is fast becoming a beat classicwithasliceofpop history all its own.
