The Royals (aka The Midnighters) - Moonrise

This title is variously given as "Moon Rise" or "Moonrise." Some may know this vocal group as Hank Ballard and the Midnighters.

"Moonrise" is dated 1952. This record is not listed in my Billboard rhythm and blues Top 40 book, so evidently it did not chart. It's pretty good though.
