Kenny was a doo wop singer in Houston when I was growing up. In the mid to late 50s he was in a doo wop group called The Scholars that had several singles and also had one single under the name Lee Harrison and the Kounts.
An older musician I know from Houston who worked with his older brother Lelan for years said that Kenny did session work on bass back then. In the early 60s he was bassist and vocalist in the Bobby Doyle Three, which was a jazz/pop group. They had a steady gig at a club near where we lived, and they released a single that got local airplay. Bobby was a blind pianist who later established himself in Austin.
This was Kenny's first under his name (AFAIK), it was a hit in Houston and got some regional airplay.
This is my favorite Kenny song , it was a hit in '78 but seems to be almost forgotten today. I don't know who's on bass here. Joe Osborn played on the studio version.
