About Andre Williams & The Don Juans

At Fortune Records, Williams recorded with a group called the Don Juans, who also cut records as the Five Dollars. Both outfits were tough R&B quintets featuring exactly the same members: Charles Evans (bass), James Drayton (baritone), Lonnie Heard (tenor), Eddie Hurt (lead tenor, and cousin of Andre's wife), and Richard Lawrence (guitar). But Devora Brown used the Don Juans as a backing group for Andre Williams (as well as other Fortune artists), and had them revert to the "Five Dollars" moniker whenever they made a recording as the primary artists. The "Don Juans" name was tailor-made for Williams, as Devora was adamant that it evoked his unique style and charisma.
