The group, formed in New Haven, Connecticut, consisted of leader Fred Parris, Lou Peebles, Stanley Dortch, Ed Martin and Jim Freeman in 1954. With little success, the group reorganized, with Dortch and Peebles leaving, and new member Al Denby entering. The group then recorded "In the Still of the Night", which was originally released as the b-side to the single, "The Jones Girl". The single was released the following year, and "In the Still of the Night" ended up charting at number three on the R&B chart and number 25 on the pop charts. Parris entered the Army soon after, and the group reorganized again, with Martin, Freeman, Tommy Killebrew, Jessie Murphy and new lead Bill Baker. This lineup hit with another highly successful song, Billy Dawn Smith's "To The Aisle".
Upon Parris' return from the Army, a new lineup was assembled, consisting of Parris, Lou Peebles (who was in a previous incarnation of the Five Satins), Sylvester Hopkins, Richie Freeman and Wes Forbes. The group would be briefly known as "Fred Parris and the Scarlets", until the Baker-led group split up. At this point, they reverted to the Five Satins name, but had little success on the charts.
By the early 1970s the group was Parris, Peebles, Richie Freeman, Jimmy Curtis and Corky Rogers, and they continued recording into the 1980s, with Parris, Richie Freeman, Curtis and Nate Marshall. Meanwhile, Bill Baker started his own Five Satins group in 1981, with former Satin Sylvester Hopkins and Hopkins' brothers Carl and Frank. By the late 1980s, this group consisted of Baker, Harvey Potts, Jr., Anthony Hofler and Octavio DeLeon.
Fred Parris continues to perform. Bill Baker died in 1994.
Awards and recognition:
In 2003, the Five Satins were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Present day:
One of the original members of the Five Satins now works in the cafeteria at the University of New Haven. Jim Freeman lives in Norwalk, Iowa and owns a pest control company. Wes Forbes is a psychologist in the State of California, currently employed with Alliant International University as a Training Director
Fred Parris passed away in January of 2022.

You're a thousand miles away-ay
Bu-you-t I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-are-are-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon
On my knees every day-ay
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
Hope you a-a-a-always want me too
Daddy's coming home soon
It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon
You're (a thousand miles away)
Bu-you-ut I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-are-are-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming ho-ome so-oo-on

2019 - My grandpa has a hearing problem and he couldn't explain this song or the name and he sang one line from it so I looked up "1000 miles away" which of course a million songs popped up. When I finally found the one he was talking about, which was this one. HE WAS SO RELIEVED and he cried his eyes out and sang the loudest he could. This song took him back to when he was a teenager. Everytime i play it in his car he sings like there's NO TOMORROW. β€

dat boi probably that it was hard to communicate with him since it was hard for him to hear what she asked and can make it hard to communicate in general
@gdouglas999
I was 10 years old when this song hit the airwaves and it became my favorite doo wop song of all time. In many ways, it actually changed my life. I went on to own and operate an "oldies" record store in Seattle for 30 years.

Long term memory is better as we grow older. I am probably the same age as your grandfather. This song was one of the love song of our times. The girls love us singing and saying it
@d.louisgray6124
As we get older many of us develop hearing problems. It is normal
@abovetheaverageone
Iβm blessed to have 2 uncles in the group. Albert and Walter Crump
@gdouglas999
Yes you are, Keith. They've always been heroes to me. "A Thousand Miles Away" is my favorite ballad of all time. Helped me through many difficult periods in my life. I'll always be grateful to your uncles and the others for recording it.
