Stagger Lee

Don Revel & The Primettes' song "Return of Stagger Lee" is a 1960 release that offers a unique continuation of the classic Stagger Lee narrative.

It is unclear whether Don Revel was his real name or a stage name, as no biographical details are widely available. During the 1950s and 1960s, many independent labels produced one-off records with lesser-known artists, particularly in genres like rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, and doo-wop. Don Revel and the Primettes likely fall into this category.

Although The Primettes featured here are often credited as later becoming The Supremes, I believe The Primettes on this recording are a second group entirely and not the early Supremes.
