From KVI's History of NW Music:  The Barons, from Tacoma, Washington, were the Northwest's first r&b / doo wopp vocal group (1956-1957).  The group was comprised (members names unknown) of students from Stadium and Lincoln High Schools.  The Barons were also members of the Bethleham Church Choir.

The Barons went to Los Angeles and recorded a good number of 45 rpm's for Imperial records.  "Crying for You Baby" was probably their best known hit on the r&b charts.  However due to their strict religious background and discouragement from their parents, they disbanded before they were able to make it big time in the music business.

Webmaster's Note:  If anyone knows more about ther Barons, please drop our "Web Slave" a note.
