Darrell Eubanks was
born in Mansfield, Ohio on the 25th of July 1937.
Within a few years
his family moved to the East Side of Buffalo, New York,
where he was raised in the Gospel tradition.
Research by Richard
Pack of Toronto uncovered that Darrell sang with local
groups, Daddy B Combo and Grand Prix in those early days.
In the mid-sixties
he met up with local dentist and music fan, Doc
Murphy who gave him a chance in Club Revilot in
downtown Buffalo.
Showing great
promise, Murphy, now Darrell's manager, linked Banks up with
Lebaron Taylor.
His
first recording, "Open the door to your heart",
emerged soon after.
