2011 collection. Nolan Strong And The Diablos were one of the most popular, pre-Motown, Rhythm & Blues acts in Detroit during the mid 1950s through the early 1960s. Nolan Strong, the lead vocalist, had an ethereally high tenor. His smooth voice, influenced mainly by Clyde McPhatter, was, in turn, a primary influence on a young Smokey Robinson but The Diablos also influenced many other R&R bands. The group was inducted into the United In Group Harmony Hall of Fame in 2003 and into the Doo-Wop Hall of Fame of America In March 2008 . This album features all 24 sides released in their early years plus three bonus tracks in which the lead vocals where taken by Willie Hunter, Andre Williams and Gino Parks.
