Effective period / Period of releases: 1965 - 1967

The Aqua Lads played largely as a revue act (later with The Chantells) around Charlotte, NC and Myrtle Beach, although they also backed national R&B bands further afield, including Canada. The group ran from 1963-1969 and had over twenty members during this period. Five 45s by The Aqua Lads were released; of particular northern soul interest are “I Remember” on Gold Bee (GB-1650) from 1965 and “I’ll Never Know” on Aqua, recorded with The Chantells on vocal lead in 1968.
