Error description

The Royals


Would it be ok to merge these guys with The Midnighters ?


Also around this time, the group's name. "The Royals", was too similar to another group on the King roster, The "5" Royales, so, as to distinguish themselves from this group, their name was changed to "The Midnighters".

I would recommend merging the two groups. There was no change in personnel associated with the name change. I met Hank Ballard about 40 years ago and this was one of the topics that came up in conversation.

No need to ask me, just go for it.
