1. The Gaylords were an American singing trio that had charting success during the 50s. They are perhaps best known for the hit "Tell Me You're Mine".
2. The Gaylords was a Scottish pop band originating from the east end of Glasgow, originally formed in 1961 as The Gaylords, and then later billed as Dean Ford and The Gaylords, recording four singles for Columbia (EMI). In 1966 they changed the band’s name to The Marmalade. The Gaylords (named after the notorious post war Chicago Gaylords street gang) were originally formed by Pat Fairley and Billy Johnston in Baillieston, a suburb east of Glasgow, in 1961. Their initial line-up included Tommy Frew on drums and lead guitarist Pat McGovern, fronted by vocalist Wattie Rodgers. William Junior Campbell joined on his fourteenth birthday on 31 May 1961 replacing McGovern, and Rodgers was then himself replaced, initially by two new lead vocalists, Billy Reid and Tommy Scott, although Reid soon departed leaving Scott as the sole frontman. Bill Irving, from local Baillieston group the Cadillacs, then took over from Johnston on bass.
The group began gathering notice and in 1963 Pat Fairley and Junior Campbell spotted Thomas McAleese, singer with local group The Monarchs, at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, and it was not long before he replaced Scott as lead singer. Thomas then adopted the stage moniker Dean Ford, and they then became known as Dean Ford and The Gaylords. Raymond Duffy, from Glasgow group the Escorts, then came in on drums after Frew departed. For a few months, they had an organist, Davey Hunter. By early 1965, Graham Knight, from the local group the Vampires, had displaced Irving on bass.
Becoming popular in Scotland, and under the management of Billy Grainger, in early 1964 they were championed by Scottish music journalist Gordon Reid, which led to them being signed to Columbia (EMI) by Norrie Paramor after auditions at Glasgow's Locarno Ballroom. They went on to record four singles, including a cover of the 1963 Chubby Checker US hit "Twenty Miles", which was a big seller locally but failed to chart nationally. The Columbia releases, although uncredited, were all produced by Bob Barratt, EMI staff producer, with Norrie Paramor as executive. Paramor played the celesta on "What's The Matter With Me"; the b-side of "Twenty Miles". In 1965, they played a long stint in Germany at the Storyville in Cologne and also in Duisburg. By this time The Gaylords had attained status as one of the top groups in Scotland, borne out in music poll results, but were ambitious, and so on their return from Germany to London in early 1965, they decided to try for success in the UK as a whole, and remained in London, where they changed management and agency representation, as Billy Grainger wished to remain in Glasgow.
On the recommendation of the Tremeloes, who had played with them in Glasgow, The Gaylords were invited to join the London-based agency Starlite Artistes, owned and managed by Peter Walsh. They then began to build up a club reputation as a tight, close harmony band and in 1966, finding themselves in the middle of the 1960s swinging London scene, they decided to update their image and instrumentation. On the advice of their new manager, they changed the band name to The Marmalade.
Dean Ford died in January 2019.

Tell Me Youre Mine
The Gaylords Lyrics
Oh, my wonderful one
How I adore you
Through the day and the night
I'm longing for you
Won't you tell me you care
Oh, I implore you
While the stars above shine
Oh, a new world I'll find
If you'll tell me you're mine
Oh, how I wanted to tell you my dear
Just what I feel in my heart
Per un bacio d'amor
O bella bruna
Ti darò tutto il cuor
Al chiaro di luna
Un tuo bacio d'amore
O che fortuna
Voglio dirti ancora
Ti darò tutto il cuor
Per un bacio d'amore
Oh, my wonderful one
How I adore you
Through the day and the night
I'm longing for you
Won't you tell me you care
Oh, I implore you
While the stars above shine
Oh, a new world I'll find
If you'll tell me you're mine
If you'll tell me you're mine
How I adore you
Through the day and the night
I'm longing for you
Won't you tell me you care
Oh, I implore you
While the stars above shine
Oh, a new world I'll find
If you'll tell me you're mine
Just what I feel in my heart
Per un bacio d'amor
O bella bruna
Ti darò tutto il cuor
Al chiaro di luna
Un tuo bacio d'amore
O che fortuna
Voglio dirti ancora
Ti darò tutto il cuor
Per un bacio d'amore
Oh, my wonderful one
How I adore you
Through the day and the night
I'm longing for you
Won't you tell me you care
Oh, I implore you
While the stars above shine
Oh, a new world I'll find
If you'll tell me you're mine
If you'll tell me you're mine

Never tire of the lead singer's voice _ Ronnie Gaylord . _ he had the finest voice of all the lead singer's during that time. He even topped many of the solo crooner's of that time.
@thomastramontano1328
I Bought This record for 10 cents not knowing what it was thinking it could be a old doo wop record I played it and put in my collection Over the years I would Play It once in a while. Sometimes I would weed out songs That I didn't want but this one staid I would Play It Once In A while I began to like more every time that I hear It. I got This Record In 1965.I'll Never weed it out of my collection. Great Song.
