Jason Cagle why this was The 5 Royales last performance back in 1991 or 1992
I miss my Dad so much. Jimmy Moore as well as the rest of the awesome 5 Royales deserve so much more. They are finally getting the recognition they earned over 70 years ago.
Thanks for the post Alvin. I never had the opportunity to meet Jimmy but spent a lot of time in Winston with John as well as John Jr and Gretta. Great to hear from you.
Jason, I am the bass player in this video. Do you have any more video from this performance, in this or better quality? My band would be interested to have it - we are Still the same band, even though H-Bomb passed in 2007.
Classic JOE POPE!
FAKE! jOSEPH DIED IN THE 80'S!
WRONG!!! Joe died 3/16/1996 !!!
And please honor Joe as a Veteran of the USN.
