What AllMusic says about The Outsiders:

Stacks Image 5459
The year was 1965. In Cleveland, Ohio, a successful area rhythm and blues band, Tom King and the Starfires, pooled their meager resources and recorded an original song written by Tom King and Chet Kelley.
The song was submitted to regional Capitol Records promotional people, and was immediately determined to be a "hit." Tom King and the Starfires was rebranded "The Outsiders," and the song, "Time Won't Let Me," began to receive national attentionk and radio airplay. The song hit #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 national chart, and was awarded a certified gold record. Over the next three years the band charted 3 more top 40 hits, and 4 LPs.

The Outsiders are back, fronted by original member Ricky Biagiola, and joined by his most capable friends and bandmates, Jimmy Aschenbener, Rik Storm and Rob Mitchell.

Curry joined and backed Faye Adams on her number one R&B smash "Shake a Hand."
"
Clifford Curry is a true soul survivor" "Galbraith hookup with Buzz Cason enabled Curry to cut a song Cason held the rights to, entitled 'She Shot a Whole in My Soul.' "
"Cason produced and issued the record on Elf Records, which was distributed by Bell Records. Curry's biggest hit.” "Curry's success as an entertainer spread to the Carolina Beaches, where the baritone became a prime showman for their musical events and a solid purveyor of Beach music, which is anything you can shag to and look cool doing it."

What the 18th Annual Blues Festival Announcement says about Clifford Curry:

"One of the Southeast’s storybook singers, Clifford Curry has deep history in R&B, blues, gospel, shag and beach music. Born in Knoxville, TN, he first cut for Savoy Records, while still in high school, with his group The Five Pennies – spectacular recordings prized by collectors to this day. He later waxed for Elf, Excello and other labels, getting airplay on some of Music City’s most powerful radio stations, pushing his music to the Atlantic coast where “beach music” was exploding – he had a whole new audience. In 1967 Clifford had his biggest hit, “She Shot a Hole in My Soul,” a beach music classic still packing dance floors. Now more than ever, this beloved artist is a force to be reckoned with, having won numerous CAMMY Awards (beach music’s “Grammys”) and still on the charts (his latest smash is “Beach Music & BBQ”)."
