Kooper's main interest during the 1950s lay in gospel music. When rock & roll broke, Kooper was drawn to the vocal side of the new music, forming a doo-wop outfit that sang on street corners in his neighborhood in the late '50s. He turned professional in 1959, joining the line-up of the Royal Teens ("Short Shorts," "Believe Me") as a guitarist. By the early '60s, he'd begun writing songs, and among his early efforts was "I Must Be Seeing Things," which was a hit for Gene Pitney. Most popular Al Kooper truetones listed: How My Ever Gonna Get Over You, Childish Love, Another Man's Prize, Got My Ion Hue, Get Ready, (I Want You To) Tell Me The Truth. Interesting fact - last downloaded ringtone: Got My Ion Hue to MWG Zinc-II cell phone carried by Southern LINC.
