When I heard the Spaniels would be performing, I knew I would buy the entire season ticket just to see and hear them! They were fantastic as usual!
Alex Kostelny, The Spaniels Forever
They were well worth the price of a ticket and really satisfied the audience!
Audience Member, The Spaniels Forever
Classic R&B Quintet.
A broad range of rhythm & blues, pop, and rock hits.
The Spaniels' roots go back to 1948 at Roosevelt High School in Gary, IN when classmates Billy Shelton and Pookie Hudson began singing together.
The Spaniels were the first artists signed to Vee-Jay Records, an independent African-American owned record label in Gary that paved the way for Motown Records.
In the Spring of 1954, the Pookie Hudson-written single - "Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight" - rose to the Top 5 on the Rhythm & Blues chart and became an international hit.
Their repertoire today includes a broad range of Rhythm & Blues, Pop, and Rock hits as well as some Gospel, where they all got their beginning in singing.
