The origins of soft pop duo Joe and Bing date back to the autumn of 1962 -- upon his arrival at Watertown, Connecticut's prestigious Taft School, 16-year-old William "Bing" Bingham was assigned to learn the ropes from older student Joe Knowlton, and a deep friendship was quickly forged from their mutual love of music. According to Keith D'Arcy's liner notes in Rev-Ola's 2004 reissue of the duo's Daybreak, they soon joined with fellow student Tony Howe to form a folk harmony trio, the Coachmen, performing regularly at Taft as well as the nearby Westover School for Girls.
