For Wednesdays oldies group we go back to 1956, for a one hit wonder. The Sparkletones formed in 1956 at Cowpens High School in Spartanburg when the groups members were between the ages of 13 and 16. In January 1957, Bob Cox, a talent scout for CBS, held auditions at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium; The Sparkletones took first prize at the event. Convinced they would be a success, Cox quit CBS to manage the group and flew them out to New York City to sign with ABC-Paramount.
