With a couple of switches in personnel, the Dovers and Vocaltones were essentially the same group. The Dovers turned out sweet ballads in the vein of the Mellows. The Vocaltones gave us some great rocking tunes, as well as their R&B ballads. 　　The Dovers formed around 1953 at the St. Nicholas Projects on 129th Street in Harlem. There were benches outside and the members would drink beer as they sat around and sang. There were only four of them at the outset: Roland Martinez （first tenor; brother of Vocaleers' lead singer Joe Duncan）， Eddie Quinones （tenor）， Wyndham "Corky" Porter （baritone）， and James Sneed （bass）。 James picked the name "Dovers" from "The White Cliffs Of Dover." While their ages varied, they were all still in school.
