Cowboys to Girls
The Intruders formed in Philadelphia in 1960.
The Intruders consisted of:
Eugene 'Bird' Daughtry (Born 29th October 1939, Kinston, North Carolina, U.S.A, Died 25th December 1994)
Phil Terry (Born 1st November 1943, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.)
Robert 'Big Sonny' Edwards (Born 22nd February 1942, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.)
Samuel 'Little Sonny' Brown (Died April 1995)
and, later Bobby Starr, (Born 19th January 1937, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.)
The Intruders owed a great deal to the Philadelphia songwriting partnership of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, however, many biographies of the group omit a section of the groups existence in the mid Eighties.
During the groups early incarnation, they were performing as a Doo-Wop outfit in 1960.
They signed with the Gamble label in 1966 and achieved instant success with the Top 20 R & B hit '(We'll Be) United'.
One year later, they charted again with the song 'Together', taken from the album 'The Intruders Are Together'.
By 1968, the group achieved their first major crossover hit with the Gamble & Huff composition 'Cowboys To Girls', hitting the pop charts at number six.
This success was followed up by another Top 40 hit entitled '(Love Is Like A) Baseball Game'.
