The Vaniers - A New Line-Up of Vocalists

The Vaniers had released a few singles on Golden of Own labels. They'd also been the regular backing group for male vocalists like Titus Turner. But they'd never had a huge amount of success. So Barrett got their lead singer, Annette Swinson, to replace Arlene. To make it up to The Vaniers, he got the rest of them a job as Jackie Wilson's backing vocalists. He changed Annette's name to Annette Smith, and the new line-up of the group had a few more hits.
