Charles Pope, co-founder of The Tams, died on Friday morning (July 12, 2013) at his home in Atlanta at the age of 76.
The Tams were formed in 1952 by Charles and his brother Joseph Pope along with Horace Key and Robert Lee Smith. They honed their craft until 1960 when they signed with Swan Records, adding Floyd Ashton to the lineup and changing their name to reflect the Tam O'Shanter hats that they wore when they performed.
