Although they only released 5 sides, two of them - I'm So Young and Every Day of the Week - became doo-wop standards. "I'm So Young" in particular became hugely popular (and durable), and has been covered by groups as diverse as the Beach Boys, Rosie and the Originals, and The Ronettes. In June 1956 they had won the 2. price on the amateur hour at the Apollo Theatre in New York . The song , "Jenny Lee" ,had a release on FORDHAM 109 b in 1956 and was written by William "Prez" Tyus , later manager of the group .
Both "I'm So Young" and "Every Day of the Week" were written by William H. "Prez" Tyus, Jr., a local Cincinnati high schooler. Tyus wrote the songs and gave them to a local African-American vocal group called the D'Italians. After the group secured a recording contract with Checker Records, they renamed themselves The Students, and it was under this name that Tyus's two classic doo-wop songs were recorded. Members were:
Leroy King (lead vocals), Dorsey Porter (first tenor vocals), Roy Ford (second tenor vocals), John Bolden (baritone vocals), Richard Johnson (bass vocals), Ralph Byrd (guitar, vocals, 1956-59), Wilbert Longmire (guitar)
# The Students (Tokyo, Japan) Based around guitarist/singer Akiko Yoshida, bassist Atsushi Oba and with drummer Tetsurou Suzuki joining them as a live member, Japanese indie/punk/new wave trio The Students may or may not have been named after a fictional band hinted at but never seen in the video for Supercar's "Lucky". They drew on a mixture of influences from Japan (Tama, Spitz, Number Girl) and overseas (Led Zeppelin, REM, Joni Mitchell, Prince) -- none of which were ever more than faintly detectable in their music. Instead, they used catchy pop hooks and lo-fi art-punk aesthetics to draw you into a fragile, awkward, stumbling, chaotic and beautiful universe entirely of their own.
French group "The Students" 1985
The history of the Students begins like that of hundreds of groups in the 1980s. Some wealthy young people meet in medical school, quickly joined by acquaintances of each other. They decided to play together for fun, and began rehearsing in 1984.
Life was sweet at that time for these students from Marseille who shared their time between college benches, music, flirting, and surfing sessions on the Basque coast. The Cure, Sade, The Stranglers… All these bands influence them, of course, but very quickly, they only work on original compositions.
Olivier Hulard (vocals and guitar) and Jean-François Hassoun (vocals and synthesizers) lay the foundations for most of the songs, but it is soon the whole group that participates in the creation of what will become "Students In Summer". Olivier Riboulet is on bass, Marc Esposito on saxophone. Rémi Reponty (drums) writes all the lyrics.
The band does all three concerts. It is during one of them, in a nightclub on the road to Cassis, the "Ici Club", that Frank Tassy proposes to the Students to record an album. He has just acquired equipment and is already taking care of a Malagasy training, Ako. He will eventually integrate the tape and also participate in the development of the record.
The recording takes place in September 1985 and lasts about 3 weeks. Students In Summer" comes out at the end of the year, and nobody remembers if the vinyl was pressed at 500 or 1000 copies. A few months later, the group disbanded, for no particular reason…
There remain beautiful memories and an ultra-fresh album, between pop and new-wave, full of lo-fi mini-tubes ("Jungle Boy" or "Midnight Summer Song" for example), whose band was kind enough to entrust us with the original soundtracks. Remastered by Alan Briand and pressed by Optimal Media via Squeezer, it is released this June 7, exclusively on vinyl.
