The group went through numerous changes throughout their early years. By 1956, Storey found managing his furniture business and the Brooklyn AllStars at the same time was difficult. He turned the rights of the Allstars over to Spann who repopulated the quartet. Lead tenor Hardie Clifton, his brother Maurice Clifton, and Nathaniel Cook of the Singing Stars from Louisburg, North Carolina became the new members of the Brooklyn AllStars. In February 1958, they recorded professionally for the first time for Peacock Records. By this time, the group had changed members again and was comprised of Thomas Spann, Hardie Clifton, Nathaniel Cook, and Jake Holman with guitarists Herbert Robinson and Eddie Lester. Under Peacock Records, their singles “Careless Soul,” and “Singing for the Lord” flourished and earned the quartet a national touring spot with gospel powerhouses the Dixie Hummingbirds, Soul Sisters and Sensational Nightingales.
