https://adp.l ibrary.ucsb.edu/index.php/mastertalent/detail/107089/Beau_Heinie

In 1959 and 1960 he released two own singles, credited to Heinie Beau & Orchestra, both on Signet Records Inc. from Hollywood, CA.

The Bongos. Unidentified group, studio outfit, orchestra and chorus, released one single in 1959, on Splash.

The Camelots. Obscure band led by

Mike Appel, born in Flushing in Queens, New York, of three-quarters Irish and one-quarter Jewish heritage and was raised Roman Catholic. Appel began playing the guitar at age 14. He was a guitarist and songwriter for several obscure groups during the 1950s and 1960s, The Camelots was one of them. In 1961, the group released one single, on Portrait. In 1962 and 1963 they released two stock singles and one promo only, same song on both sides. Appel composed all tracks, except one. In later years, Appel was a manager, producer and songwriter for numerous bands, best known for managing Bruce Springsteen.

 The Challengers. Instrumental band from the Bronx, New York – not to be confused with other groups of this name, active in the 1960s. In 1960 and 1961 they released two singles, on Triodex (independent New York label).

Craven House Orchestra. Unidentified instrumental band, presumably camouflage of Charles Blackwell. British pianist, composer, music director (see BR73). The band released one US-only single, on Vee-Jay, produced by Robert Stigwood, an Australian-born British-resident music entrepreneur. Blackwell composed the A-side track, Theme For Two Hearts. The B-side track, Phantom Riders, is actually Lone Rider, as recorded by The Flee-Rekkers and John Leyton, composed by Geoff Goddard.This single has been included in Obscure American Artists 1956-1963 series because: 1. Craven House Orchestra pretended to be the US Orchestra, 2. presumably, the single has been recorded in the US, with the US studio musicians.

The Cruisers. West Coast instrumental group. In 1957 they released one single on ERA, in 1958 three more singles on Doré.

Frank De Rosa. From Rochester, NY. In 1958 he recorded his first single, released by Ken and Dot, credited to Frank DeRosa & His D Men. The group included Frank’s friends, Genovese Brothers:

Bobby Geno and Sonny Geno, on guitars (see T04).

In 1959 De Rosa released his second single, on BigTop.

 Dick Jensen.  Born Richard Hiram Jensen, he became a powerful presence on the Hawaiian teen music scene using the stage name Lance Curtis before moving to the US mainland and establishing himself as a recording artist. He made an early appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and was a regular performer in Vegas from the 1960's through to the 80's. Here he became a Tom Jones clone, I guess to appeal more to the Vegas audiences (but he also kept a touch of James Brown influence in his act).
He returned to Honolulu in the mid-1970s and played local showrooms there. He also recorded a single for local Tom Moffatt's Bluewater label and released an album on his own label. His career took an unexpected turn in 1983 when he was arrested on drug distribution charges. He pleaded guilty to a cocaine charge and received five years' probation. Jensen subsequently dedicated his life and musical talents to the church.
In 1963, before moving to the US mainland, Dick Jensen released two singles on Hawaiian labels (Mahalo, Amber). The first single was recorded with The Diamond Head Surfers and shared with Tom Moffatt on Side A (see P03). The second single was recorded with The Swamp Men – both backing groups were studio outfits.

The Saturday Knights. Instrumental band formed by
Bob Boulanger,
singer-songwriter, future country singer - recorded under the name Van Trevor.
In 1961 The Saturday Knights released two singles, on Swan, all four songs co-written by Boulanger.
In 1963 they released the third single, on Nocturne (New York), both songs composed by Jimmy Krondes (prolific songwriter).

 
The Sensations. Quartet from Racine, WI. On label : Jeff Gertenbach drums, Harry Voss rhythm, Dave Villo bass, Ray Plauske lead. One record in 1963, on  Draeger (label from Racine, Wisconsin, owned by Bill Draeger). Few other groups active in the same period of time used the same name.
 
 
The Scamps. Instrumental group founded by Lester Sill (right) and Lee Hazlewood (left). In 1958 they recorded the first single, Petite Fleur (Sidney Bechet standard) bw/ Naomi (Lee Hazlewood composition), the single was released by Jamie and Arlan.  In 1961 they recorded two more singles, as
S & H Scamps,
released by Gregmark (Sill-Hazlewood label) – Hazlewood co-wrote all four songs.
 
 
The Scamps (2). Latin-rock instrumental band. In 1961 recorded one single, for Scout (Hollywood, California). Both tracks featuring Ronnie Starr on sax (credited), also co-writer of both tracks.
 
 
The Scarlets. Instrumental rock band that released one 45 on Dot Records in October 1959. Line-up: Howard Herman (saxophone), Pete Antonio (lead guitar), Tony Lepard (drums), John Sanzone (rhythm guitar)
 
 
Shean & Jenkyns. Leon Russell studio concept. Just after turning 21 years old, during the surf music craze, Leon Russell sat in on a session as keyboard player to record some music with Perry Botkin for an odd novelty record by Chris Jenkyns & Al Shean, two guys who worked on the TV cartoon Rocky & His Friends. Note it was a "Head arrangement."  That's where the musicians are given a general idea of what the song is like, and then they play whatever they want to fit it.  One side is about a dude who is not a real surfer (a Ho-Dad) who places his right foot in front of his left (Goofy-Footer) and the other side of the single is a strange compilation of commercial spots.  Along with Leon on keyboards were, Lyle Ritz on bass, Howard Roberts on guitar, Plas Johnson on sax and Earl Palmer on drums.
