EDDIE DELMAR - by Al Kelly

Eddie Delmar was really Bobby Bovino, who recorded with three buddies from 
Brooklyn as the Bob Knight Four. Yep, there was no Bob Knight and some 
record exec came up with the name. The Bob Knight Four with Bobby Bovino 
on lead  had their first recording session in '56 for the Rifkin Bros, 
who owned the Dome label but the sides were never released. They next 
recorded years later in '61 with Tony Sepe's Laurel label, where they 
re-recorded an earlier release on the Laurel label by the Corvets 
called "So Long" which their version is called " Good Goodbye" and 
Tony Sepe leased the record after some strong reaction to the Taurus 
label where they changed the title back to "So So Long Goodbye". 
Many think the Taurus version was the original label but the Laurel 
came first. After another release on Taurus, they moved to the
Josie & Jubilee combine. The group never made a bad record and they're more
popular today than back in the 60's. They have a CD out with all of
their recordings including the Eddie Delmar releases. The last record
under BK Four was on the Goal label and only Bobby and another member
were actually singing on it. As Eddie Delmar, he had an earlier release
on theMadison label in '61. This record could be an unreleased '61 cut
or a new song for the Jerry Ross' Vegas label. The group disbanded due
to lack of work and it was a mutual agreement too.
