Real fans know that Clark Burroughs and Bob Morse sang together in another vocal group prior to the Hi-Lo's. That group was The Encores, who performed with Billy May and his orchestra in the early 1950s. Now, you can hear studio recordings that feature Alicia Adams, Clark Burroughs, Bob Morse, Jack Elliott, and Randy Van Horne!

Great!
Are there any pictures of the group? Do we know who made the vocal arrangements? Of course Billy May was an exellent arranger, having written charts for, among others, Glenn Miller in the fourties. Or did Randy van Horne arrange the vocals?

I remember seeing a picture of the group somewhere, maybe in a CD booklet of mine. I'll look for it and post it if I find it. If I remember correctly, Van Horne did the arranging for the group.
