The Seniors
The Seniors was the high school band of R&B singer James "Jimmy" Church, who later sang for the King Kasuals and then Johnny Jones and the King Casuals.
“I was born in Nashville and raised by my grandmother” says Jimmy Church. “There weren’t really any musical influences within the family, but I started singing at the age of three. Early musical influences were The Five Royales. In high school, I formed The Seniors – named so because we were all senior students except one. ‘Happy Jack’, real name Morgan Babb, was a DJ at WSOK – he liked us, saw us perform and ended up booking and recording us.”
The Seniors’ sole recording “Sloo Foot Soo” / “Why Did You Leave Me” was released in 1958 on Excello Records (2130). With two pressings on 7", a 10" 78 RPM also exists. WSOK DJ Morgan Babb received writing credits.
Jimmy Church and Bobby Hebb then formed a doo-wop group, the Hi-Fis a year later, releasing one single in 1959: "I'm So Lonely" / "My Dear" recorded in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and released by Montel (SJM 1005).
