This artist was part of a pool of vocalists working under the leadership of Joseph "Rocky" Washington in a '50s doo wop group known as the Sparrows. While the name of Leo Euller and Eugene Merriday show up on recording logs involving this group, they do not always sing on the actual sessions: just part of the complications and confusion surrounding this group. Perhaps it would be more accurate to expand the latter subject into plural status -- there was more than one group called the Sparrows for Euller to sing or not sing in. There was also Little Jimmy and the Sparrows, not related to the band led by Washington. John Kay of Steppenwolf fame also was part of a band called the Sparrows early in his career, not the same group, not even a doo wop group. The name still seemed to have appeal to combo leaders in 2002, when a new band called Sparrows cut an album entitled Rock and Roll Days. Euller and his singing buddies all came from the same neighborhood of New York City, and were said to have been an extremely well-organized outfit. The group's most well-known recordings were made for the Jay-Dee label under the auspices of veteran producer Joe Davis, including songs such as the inquisitive "Tell Me Baby," the probing "Why Did You Leave Me," the concise "Hey!" and even a version of "Love Me Tender." A rare side of great interest to collectors of smut was a coupling (pun intended) of the Blenders performing "Don't Fuck About With Love," and the Sparrows crooning "I'm Gonna Do That Woman," part of Davis' sometimes dangerous battles with the censors over naughty party records. Conspiracy theorists in the doo wop crowd believe there was no such group as this version of the Sparrows, and that all the recordings issued under this name were actually the Blenders, blending in under another name. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide
