Who
Are The Medallions?
The
Medallions started back in 1954 and was led by Vernon Green. He
wrote many hit songs for the group. Since his death several years
ago the group had disbanded. We are bringing back the old sound
with a little modern twist.
lt's
all about the Music!
This
modern, but "authentic" sound has been "reconstituted"
with eleven (and more on the way!) fresh digital recordings completed
in July, 2007.
The
Medallions "new" rollicking vocal four-part-harmonies
and arrangements remain true to what the original (mostly teenage)
songwriters and composers had in mind.
We
honor their music. We invite you to join us and enjoy a journey
back to a time when America was at Peace. The only controversy to
be found was in the "lyrics' to some of these great compositions.
Some songs were "banned" outright, due to lyric content.
These
first 11 songs made a huge contribution to the "collective
consciousness" that became ROCK & ROLL.
Follow the Medallions legacy with us, watch and listen as we bring
our digital "Business Model" forward to the paradigm shift
that the music industry is going through worldwide. This music got
us all up Jumpin', Singin', and Dancin'... and into the music in
the first place!
We
are an eight-man group that specializes in 50’s and 60’s R & B and
Rock and Roll. The group consists of keyboard(who also does background
vocals), guitar, bass, drums, tenor and baritone sax. There are
also four vocalists. Our experience goes back many years and includes
working with the following artists: Little Richard, Jackie Wilson,
Sam Cooke, Bobby Darin, Don & Dewey, El Chicano, Gerald Wilson Orchestra,
The Midnighters, Lou Rawls, Billy Preston and many others. Our experience
includes appearances on the Shindig Show and The Midnight Special.
