In the early 1960s, The Brothers Grim became the first American group to be endorsed by Vox Musical Instruments, which were made famous by the British group The Beatles.
The Lead singer and guitarist for "The Brothers Grim" was J.P. Sloane. The bass player was Ron Coleman who also did backup and lead vocals. Jeff Allen, the groups drummer was a very talented studio percussionist. Jeff played the drums on Maurice Williams number one hit record "Stay", which was also the cornerstone recording for the all-time top selling soundtrack hit movie "Dirty Dancing." When the group broke up J.P. Sloane formed and toured the U.S. with a new group called "J.P. Sloane & Co." He also did feature appearances with rock and country music legend, Charlie Rich. Ron Coleman joined another brothers group - The Everly Brothers.
