    Here's how this Keys number did in the 1952 Singles Battle

    PRELIM
    6 The Five Keys - How Long - Aladdin 3131
    12 Ruth Brown - Daddy,Daddy - Atlantic 973

    Um....a little better in the Vocal Groups Encore Battle

    R1
    3 The Hollywood Four Flames -- W-I-N-E -- Unique 003 -- 1950
    5 The Five Keys -- How Long -- Aladdin 3131 -- 1952

    Actuaslly The Flames should be dated 1951 since BOTH releases on this
    one (on Unique label and on Fidelity label) are from November 1951
    according to updated info (+ see Unca Marvy online Flames article)

    R2
    5 The Five Keys -- How Long -- Aladdin 3131 -- 1952
    5 The Tokens -- Tonight I Fell In Love -- Warwick 615 -- 1961

    Draw #8

    Round One
    Keys 5
    Tokens 8

    WINNER : TOKENS

    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT: 6/10

    I'm with Samp in preferring this to the "MIstakes" side. A 7 for me
