 Boyd had seven UK releases on Parlophone - with Big Moe taking top billing on one (all added to this site)

 Heres a cut and paste
Jim Muzey, known as "Big Moe", played the trumpet extremely well.

At 425 pounds, he was one of the funniest men Boyd every performed with. M. D. Allen, quite the opposite of "Big Moe", weighed only 110 pounds. He played the guitar and was a great comedian. Kenny Cobb, played the bass fiddle and was considered one of the best in the country. Boots Randolph, now famous for his saxophone expertise, contributed greatly to the quality music produced by "The Rockets." Jimmy McDaniels, was an incredible piano player and pioneer in his own right. He was the first black musician to tour with a multi-racial band through the Midwest and South. Boyd constantly battled racism across the country. Some clubs would allow Jimmy to play in the band but not allow him to eat in the dining room. Boyd quickly solved the problem whenever it reared its ugly head.

 Brilliant, I always wondered who sang this one. I'd say that this one's reasonably widely known, but who's heard of "Boyd Bennett and his Rockets"?
