The Esquires formed in 1957 and was originally made up of siblings Gilbert, Alvis and Betty Moorer. Though the original members have passed, the children of the original members still perform under the name The Esquires II. They accepted the award on behalf of their fathers and performed several songs including the Esquires #3 hit "Get On Up." www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
