The Jodimars - BiographyFormed in September 1955 by three former members of Bill Haley and His Comets who left the Comets in a salary dispute: Joey Ambrose (sax), Dick Richards (drums and vocals) and Marshall Lytle (bass and vocals). The name comes from their first names: JO-DI-MARS. The group scored several minor hits before disbanding in 1958, most notably Well Now Dig This (after which the long-running UK music magazine Now Dig This was named), and Clarabella, which in the 1990s came to notoriety when a radio performance of the song by the Beatles was discovered; the song was subsequently covered by other groups including White Stripes. After the break-up of the group, Lytle continued as a solo artist, Ambrose got into the casino industry in Las Vegas, and Richards, using his real name Dick Boccelli, became a film and TV actor. In 1989 the three Jodimars began touring again, but soon this was rolled into an ongoing reunion of Bill Haley's Original Comets that continues to this day. Lytle died in 2013, but Ambrose and Richards continue to perform as the Comets as of the end of 2014. « Back to Discography Edit This Biography : Biography Credits
