The Sensational Starlights of Bridgeport, Connecticut have been singing and
spreading the good news through quartet music for over 52 years. They started
in early 50's. Two original leaders are William Moffet and Robert Black. As
time progressed, Jonathan DuBose Sr, Leroy Dorsey, Benny Graham and Joe
Reed joined the group. Then Olin (Dee) Dorsey joined as one of the youngest
singers in the group in the mid to late sixties. Also instrumentalist and guitar
player, Buck Colbert joined and still faithfully remains to be the music behind
the mission.

This legendary group were not just performers, they became great promoters
as well, bringing some of the greatest quartet singing sensations to the City of
Bridgeport. Groups such as The Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Sensational
Nightingales, The Gospel Keynotes, The Canton Spirituals and the list goes on.
They traveled and performed up and down the eastcoast sharing the
experiences of life through song.

In 1997-98, The Starlights recorded a song entitled "Jesus Lifted Me" on the
legendary guitarist Jonathan DuBose, Jr. CD recording entitled "EXPECT THE
EXPECTED". Jonathan Jr. started playing guitar with the Starlights at the age
of 8. DuBose Jr. has become one of the most sought after recording artist of all
times. He can be heard on Harry Connick Jr.s newest-CD releases as well as
his own CD's entitled, "Healing of the Hynms" and "Quiet Times" (Harborwood
Records). You can learn more about Jonathan Jr. on his website,
www.JDuBose.com.

The Sensational Starlights are yet still performing with a powerful and highly
inspirational force. The Starlights can seen on local television throughout the
Fairfield County in Connecticut at least twice a month on Monday afternoon at
2:00 pm boardcasted by Sound View Community Media, Inc. (Channel 71)
with Rev. Kenneth K. DuBose, Sr. a popular preacher and performer, who
also began performing the early age of 8, liken unto his brother. Both Jonathan
and Kenneth are the son's of the leader of the group, Jonathan Sr.. Kenneth
came in to fill the spot as an vocalist, organist and exciting performer after
Jonathan began touring. Kenneth performances as a child drew audiences from
the entire Connecticut region. Kenneth talent has reached the halls of the
Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. And his performances still to this day will
leave audiences spellbound. Kenneth early entrance in the performance
industry, brought him great notoriaty because of his youthful persona and
charisma. This young man is presently, a pastor and civic servant who has
become an effective and strong voice against the hurts and harms of humanity.

Lastly, we like to think of The Starlights in the following quote. "They are liken
unto a bottle of fine wine; The older they become, the greater their value".
