American R & B vocal groups that came to prominence in the late 40s and early 50s had their genesis in the field of gospel music. The original members of the Du Droppers were Junior Ginyard on lead, Willie and Harvey Ray on tenor and baritone, and Eddie Hashow on bass (soon replaced by Bob Kornegay). They began as a gospel group in 1952. Their first record, "Can't Do Sixty No More," was released in December 1952 titled "Can't Do Sixty No More", an answer to The Dominoes massive hit of "Sixty Minute Man".
