They were just a bunch of kids fooling around when they caught the attention of Jesse Belvin. Jesse had them practice backing him up on a song called "One Little Blessing," with the four guys crowded into the back of Jesse's 1949 Cadillac as he directed them from the front. Although nothing came of this particular collaboration, the quartet got the chance to back up Al Smith on some Combo releases, other "Savoys" tunes done behind Al Smith ("Darling Stay With Me," "Yacka Hoom Boom," "Let’s Ride, Ride, Ride," and "Oh That’ll Be Joyful") were by a different Savoys group.

In early 1955, Darryl ran away from his foster home, and was taken in by the mother of John Saulter, one of his classmates.

After this, Darryl joined with John Saulter to form The Jivers
