NPOV cleanup request

I'm not really sure why the Joey Dee/Starliters bio is said to read like an advertisement; I've re-read the article several times and I don't see any red flags. If somebody can enlighten me, I'll be happy to revise the text where necessary. Thank you. Laura Pinto 23:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I too don't see anything too amiss here, except there are no sources sited. Statements like "they were such a smash hit . . .", although undoubtedly true, need to be sourced. Wschart 19:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chart peak "Shout"

"Successful singles spawned from Hey, Let's Twist were the title track and "Shout - Part I," which became the group's second-biggest selling record, reaching #8 on the U.S. charts." (version 04 Feb 2011)

Shout_(Isley_Brothers_song) says the cover peaked #6, which can also be found here: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/joey-dee-p69981/charts-awards/billboard-singles

I'll change it for now. Please correct me if anybody knows more. Afghani84 (talk) 14:58, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Racially integrated group

This needs to be sourced, but my understanding is the Starliters were the first racially integrated group to be a major success. White groups had used black musicians before, and vice versa, but call up the group's 1962 TV performances and it stands out that they had a black backup singer, guitarist (the article states Jimi Hendrix once filled the role) and drummer. You just didn't see that in 1962. If it can be cited, it should be mentioned. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 18:42, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Joey Dee and the Starliters

Hello,

I have spent several hours on updating “Joey Dee” and the Starliters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Dee_and_the_Starliters

For some reason, the content that I posted keeps getting deleted. I am the manager and agent for Joey Dee and have full exclusive right to edit Joey Dee biography.

Please advise,

Thank you,

Missing member

Why isn’t Felix Cavaliere mentioned, he was a member according to his Wikipedia page. He is also probably the most well known member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:5540:1500:B5BC:998F:28C9:23D9 (talk) 04:39, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure? I always thought the most well-known member was Joey... 88.77.167.217 (talk) 23:08, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
