One of my favorite gals growing up in Oxnard. She was the "Little Sister" to Willis "Junior" Harvey, who performed with me in the old band called, "The Mixtures" that featured Junior and Phil Tucker, (as Phil & Harv) that had a big hit on their hands in 1961 called, "Darling". Del Franklin, Autrey Joe Johnson, me, Jess Porras, Steve Mendoza, Zag Soto and Eddie De Robles were in that band and Cordra always supported our music the same as Evelyn and Della Mae, her sisters did. Haven't seen you in a while girl but you were always one of my favorite supporters! God Bless you, Evelyn, Junior and your entire family! Love ya girl!
