The Aubry Twins

Tyrone and Jerome Aubry (or “Aubrey” as their name is sometimes spelt) were just about 12 years old when they made their first 45 for Stanley Chaisson's Chase label.They were very popular locally of course playing all the clubs and bars not just in Louisiana but across the state line into Mississippi as well. Chaisson got the boys a contract with ABC records who put Felton Jarvis from Nashville in charge of their work. He decided to cut them at Fame, making the Aubrys amongst the first visitors to Muscle Shoals. In time they moved over to the West Coast, part of a large migration of New Orleans musical talent that took that route in the 60s, and hooked up again with Dr John and Harold Battiste in LA.
