Jay Robinson

A regular at Columbus, Ohio’s upstart Harmonic Sounds studio, Jay Robinson began tinkering with a simple doo wop song called "You And Me" in the late ’60s. After discovering family group Penny & The Quarters at Harmonic, he tracked a handful of originals with the fledgling quartet, including "Will I Ever" and "You Are Mine" —wobbly ballads with the a-side containing exuberant backings from the Coulter siblings. Before this, Robinson had also been the leader of Columbus doo-wop pioneers The Supremes (later known as “The Columbus Supremes,” for reasons which should be obvious), whose claim to fame was one 45 released on Ace Records in 1957. The Supremes reunited in 1977 to record a second single on the Grog imprint containing two songs written and sung by Jay Robinson, "Glow" and "You and Me," which helped to finally identify Robinson as the Penny & the Quarters songwriter.
