Check out YouTube, just type in doo wop The Earthquakes, a Detroit vocal group began recording in the 50's on Fortune Records. Their first release in 1959 was Darling Be Mine/Bashful Guy. The quartet consisted of three brothers and a father. Lead vocals and guitar were handled by First Tenor lead, Armond Abney, Second Tenor Lead, Butler Abney, (Deceased 2010) Bass Butler Abney Sr.(Deceased) and Cliff Lance, Second Tenor Lead. Originally the group was the Orbits, that contained the present group with brother Melvin Gatewood, singing bass. When Melvin joined the Armed Forces, his duties were taken over by their father, Butler Abney Sr. The Earthquakes were Devora Brown's replacement to her group of Nolan Strong and the Diablos. Armond's first tenor lead is reminiscent of Nolan's tenor styling. The Earthquakes second recording was This is Really Real/Crazy Bop, followed by Look What You've Done/Baby Only You, The Storm/Diamonds Pins and Broken Beads, Hard Times/Uncle Jingle Bob unreleased, Come Back/Mirror, Mirror. Unreleased The Earthquakes, contemporaries with The Miracles, The Dells, The Impressions, The Spinners, are still performing.
