The Medallions

The Medallions were a rhythm and blues band led by Vernon Green. They were the first doo-wop group to record for Dootone Records. Their first release, "Buick 69," (based on Todd Rhodes's double-entendre R&B hit "Rocket 69") was backed with a ballad called "The Letter." "The Letter" contained the nonsense lyric, "the pulpitudes of love," which was later picked up by the Steve Miller Band as "the Pompatus of love."
