About The Record:
Earl Grant was a triple-threat entertainer as a pianist, organist, and vocalist. While much of his material fell into the arenas of either light pop or jazz-schmaltz, Grant scored two R&B hits in the late '50s and early '60s, the most memorable being "Sweet Sixteen Bars in 1962. It reached No. 9 on the R&B charts. His prior smash The End was his lone pop hit, reaching No. 7 in 1958. Grant was also in the films Tender Is the Night, Imitation of Life, and Tokyo Night. He was killed in 1970 in a car wreck at age 37.
