He moved to Chicago in 1947 where he worked briefly with Roberta Martin and 2 word with the Haley Jackson then struck out on his own with his own group the Bradford singers followed by another group the Bradford specials and his 1st hit record was too close to heaven back in 1954 when he was billed as Professor Alex Bradford and his singers that record sold over a 1000000 copies and was awarded a gold disc and then it followed with a number of other successes the rest of that decade so that was a little about the late Professor Bradford Next up I have coming for you.
