Sheppard was getting some success on the successor group of the Bel Aires called the Sheppards, so Davis teamed up with him to form Pam Productions in 1961. The Sheppards are highly regarded today by those familiar with the group's music, but by and large they remain unknown to the vast majority of rhythm-and-blues fans. Their relative obscurity perhaps can be attributed to the fact that they were popular during the long-denigrated early- 1960s era of rock 'n' roll, when doowop was largely a memory and soul had a few years to go before it would make its impact.
