Discography
Their 1956 single, "The Girl in My Dreams" b/w "I Wanna Know Why", peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100. Late in the 1950s, he released four singles of his own, as Eugene Church & the Fellows. The first two were U.S. hits: "Pretty Girls Everywhere" went No. 6 R&B, No. 36 Pop, and "Miami" hit No. 14 R&B and No. They were followed by "Good News" and "Mind Your Own Business", neither of which charted. Church later pursued a career in gospel music in Dallas, Texas, and returned to secular music in the 1990s in doo-wop revues. Church died from cancer in Los Angeles, California in April 1993, at age 55.
