Two #1 R&B hits, "Sixty Minute Man" (1951) and "Have Mercy Baby" (1952), established Billy Ward & The Dominoes as one of the leading R&B acts of the early 1950s. Two members of the group, Clyde McPhatter (who was the original lead tenor, and later founded the Drifters) and Jackie Wilson (who replaced McPhatter in 1953), have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
