rene & ray
Rene & Ray were Pablo "Rene" Valenzuela (of The Velveteens) and Ray "Spider Ray" Quiñones.
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.5" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Two duos follow next – Rene & Ray and Rosie And Ron. Paul Buff co-wrote
Rene & Ray’s “Queen Of My Heart,” considered a vocal classic of the
period (1962). Rene & Ray were Pablo "Rene" Valenzuela (of The
Velveteens) and Ray "Spider Ray" Quiñones. Contrary to the Rosie And
Ron billing, Rosie Hamlin and Ron Holden did not record the single “So
Dearly.” Lucy Duran and Ray Quiñones respectively imitated Hamlin and Holden
on this January 1961 recording with The Velveteens backing them. Both records
were licensed to the Donna label, with “Queen Of My Heart” doing extremely
well in California and selling moderately throughout the country."
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.6" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Rene
& Ray's "Do What You Feel" was the B-side of "Queen Of My
Heart." They made sure to mention all the dances of the time!"
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.7" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Rene &
Ray's second single "Too Late" was completely ignored when it was
released by Donna in July 1962. The old-school way of thinking was that if you
had some success with a record, you would record a very similar-sounding
follow-up tune. "Too Late" was very similar to "Queen Of My
Heart," but perhaps too similar to make it."
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.8" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Rene & Ray's "I Can't Let You Go" was the
B-side of their "Too Late" single for Donna in 1962."
