Some duos paired existing individual solo stars, but the majority introduced new pairings of young people who were involved professionally (and occasionally romantically) with no outside projects to distract them. \u003cp\u003eSuch was the case with one of R\u0026amp;B's biggest twosomes of the 50s. Transplanted Texans Gene Forrest and Eunice Russ Levy both had limited solo experience before they pooled their talent resources in Los Angeles in 1954 and came up with a string of singles that pretty much set the template for mixed R\u0026amp;B duos for the rest of the decade - starting with the original version of a record that turned out to be one of the first big hits (and most covered songs) of R\u0026amp;B's pre-rock 'n' roll era, the immortal 'Ko Ko Mo (I Love You So)' in 1954. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the next five years, and alternating between up-tempo rockers and sweet ballads - almost all of which they wrote themselves - G \u0026amp; E established themselves with a string of 45s that endeared them to young record buyers across the US and also in the Caribbean, where their fast and low numbers alike were staples of the local sound system culture in Jamaica and songs like 'This Is My Story', 'The Vow', 'I'll Never Believe In You' and 'Bom Bom Lulu' were revived by local artists many times from the 60s to the 80s. Chart books do not necessarily reflect just how popular Gene \u0026amp; Eunice were, or how many records they sold during six years of recording activity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Jasmine collection - possibly the most complete anthology of the CD era - brings together as many of those records as we could fit on a single disc. This is their story, and it will delight fans old and new to have it all in one place for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKo Ko Mo (Original) - Gene And Eunice With Jonesy's Combo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou And Me - Gene And Eunice With Jonesy's Combo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKo Ko Mo (Remake) - Gene And Eunice With Johnny's Combo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlim Flam - Gene And Eunice With Johnny's Combo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan We Forget It - Gene And Eunice With Johnny's Combo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMove It Over Baby - Gene And Eunice With Johnny's Combo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Is My Story - Gene And Eunice With Johnny's Combo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave You Changed Your Mind?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Gotta Go Home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHootchy Kootchy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'll Never Believe In You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet's Get Together\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm So In Love With You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBom Bom Lulu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHi Diddle Diddle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrange World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't Treat Me This Way\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoodle Doodle Doo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Angels Gave You To Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Mean Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoco Loco\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGo On Kokomo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAh!
