The Original Tymes

theTymes

It all just fell together in 1963 when the group, now called “The Original Tymes”, recorded a little piece of magic called “So Much In Love.” There are those who say that “So Much In Love” is the greatest pop ballad of all time. Practically anyone could tell you where they were the first time they heard that immortal “As we stroll along together…” opening. This was the hit recording that “The Tymes” created their first time out, the classic that was the first record to replace the Beatles in the number one slot on the British charts. “So Much In Love” went to number one on Billboard in June of 1963 and is currently number 38 on Billboard’s all time record list..”a signature song if there ever was one…” Their other most-requested chart toppers include “Wonderful Wonderful” and “Somewhere”.
 
Three of the five members of “The Tymes” are original members Donald Banks, Albert “Ceasar” Berry and Norman Burnett (over 40 years of experience and friendship together!) Lafayette Gamble joined “The Tymes” over 10 years ago and Jimmy Wells recently joined the group.  Their memorable melodies, close harmonies, classic staging and fluid choreography can bring you that joy that has been brought to fans throughout the country in countless concert appearances.
