The Nite-Liters

[a=Harvey Fuqua] and [a=Tony Churchill] formed the Nite-Liters in 1963 in Louisville. When the band subsequently expanded to 17 members, with a pair of vocal groups and a instrumental ensemble, they were renamed [a=New Birth], although different configurations of the combined groups recorded under both names name until 1973, when the "Nite-Liters" name was officially retired.
Churchill, [a=Austin Lander], [a=James Baker], [a=Robert Jackson (8)], [a=Leroy Taylor (5)], and [a=Robin Russell (2)] were the original bandmembers. Ben Boxtel, Roger Voice, and James Hall were later recruits.
