Eugene Church was an R&B singer who became a sometime-collaborator with
Jesse Belvin during the mid-'50s -- the two recorded together for the
Bihari brothers' Modern Records label under the name
the Cliques, releasing a successful single of "The Girl in My Dreams" in 1956. He subsequently sang backup on
Belvin's records, and was heavily influenced by
Belvin on his 1959 single "Pretty Girls Everywhere," co-authored by
Church and his fellow
Belvin backup singer, Tommy "Buster" Williams. The latter, credited to
Eugene Church & the Fellows on the Class Records label, was followed by three subsequent singles: "Miami," "Good News" (on Rendezvous Records), and "Mind Your Own Business" (on King Records).
Church's later career was spent in Texas, where he performed and recorded gospel music, and he subsequently moved to Los Angeles and went back into secular music, singing in doo wop shows in the 1990s.
