Gene Wilson (also known as Gene Forrest) and wife Eunice Levy, together formed the duo of Gene and Eunice.
Together, they recorded more than fifteen original records. They hit the Billboard pop charts with Poco Loco in 1959, and appeared on the R+B charts two different times with "Ko Ko Mo" and "This Is My Story." Beginning on Combo records of Los Angeles, they quickly moved to Aladdin, then to the Case label with four release.
Then, a stop on king for a pair of recordings, , and another waxing for the small Lily label. One LP was released on Score, that included their recordings along with Shirley And Lee, Marvin And Johnny, and others. Bom Bom Lulu and several others were additionally issued on Jamaica's Blank label, and did well. Many records also were released in the UK on the Vogue label.
The duo sold a bunch of records in their career, and were very successful on the road performing their music, right into the 1990's. I also show several of the solo records from Gene Forrest. He had a career of his own before teaming up with Eunice Levy, and made some great recordings.
Eunice passed away in 2002, and Gene died in 2003. They leave a great legacy of fine music for us all to enjoy.
