WHEN WE GET MARRIED * THE DREAMLOVERS * HERITAGE 102 * USA
The Dreamlovers were Morris Gardner, Tommy Ricks, Cleveland Hammock
Jr, and brothers James Ray Dunn and Cliff Dunn, five guys from Philadelphia (a
sixth member, Donald Hogan, joined the group later) who had started out singing
as The Romancers. Sometime later calling themselves The Midnighters, they backed
Chubby Checker on many of his Cameo Parkway sides including The Twist.
The group’s first release was on Len, followed by two on V-Tone, before
they signed to Heritage; their first of three on the label was the above When
We Get Married written by group member Donald Hogan. When We Get
Married a beautiful Doo Wop ballad proved to be their biggest (only) hit
reaching #10 on the national charts.
