The Afterbeats: Scandal, Heartbreak, and the Hidden Drama Behind "It's Tearing Me Apart" Travel back to the 1950s, when doo-wop groups were capturing hearts and street corners echoed with soul-stirring harmonies. Amid this golden age of music, a group called The Afterbeats rose from the vibrant streets of Harlem, bringing with them a sound that was raw, passionate, and filled with the spirit of the era. With their minor hit, “It’s Tearing Me Apart,” they tasted a brief moment of fame—but behind their sweet harmonies was a story filled with drama, scandal, and dreams that unraveled all too soon. The Afterbeats were formed by four childhood friends: Eddie "Big Ed" Thompson, whose voice could climb from a smooth croon to a soaring falsetto; Leroy "Low Note" Jackson, the bass singer with a booming voice and a heart of gold; Calvin "Ace" Johnson, the smooth tenor whose charm made him the heartthrob of the group; and Marcus "Mojo" Greene, the quick-witted songwriter whose talent was matched only by his knack for getting into trouble. Together, they were a dynamic force, known for their tight harmonies and electrifying stage presence. By 1957, they had landed a record deal with a local label and recorded a track that quickly struck a chord with listeners: “It’s Tearing Me Apart.” The song, with its lyrics about the pain of a love gone wrong, resonated deeply with audiences. Rumor had it that the song was inspired by Eddie’s secret affair with an older woman—a relationship that nearly tore the group apart before they ever hit the big time. The single became a local sensation, playing on every jukebox from Harlem to the Bronx and getting heavy rotation on late-night radio. The Afterbeats found themselves performing in bigger venues, sharing the stage with legends of the time. But with fame came trouble, and the group's rise was soon marred by scandal. Calvin, ever the ladies’ man, began dating the daughter of a local nightclub owner with connections to the underworld. When her father found out, he wasn’t pleased—rumors spread of heated threats, and Calvin showed up to rehearsal one day with a black eye and a story he wouldn’t share. Meanwhile, Marcus "Mojo," feeling the pressures of sudden fame, developed a gambling problem that quickly spiraled out of control. He owed money to the wrong people and narrowly avoided more than one encounter with heavy-handed debt collectors. Then came their big break at the Apollo Theater. Just as they were set to go on, Eddie and Leroy got into a heated argument backstage. Eddie accused Leroy of trying to steal his spotlight, while Leroy shot back that Eddie’s secret affair and reckless behavior were jeopardizing their chances. Pushed past his breaking point, Leroy walked out minutes before showtime. The performance was a disaster. Eddie tried to cover Leroy’s parts, but the harmony was missing. The crowd was unforgiving, and the show ended in chaos. After that, everything fell apart. Their label dropped them, gigs dried up, and Leroy refused to return. By early 1958, The Afterbeats were no more, each member going their separate ways. Eddie attempted a solo career but never recaptured the group’s magic. Calvin left New York, disappearing into a quieter life. Leroy found work at a local barbershop, and Marcus laid low, trying to dodge his debts. Despite their brief career, “It’s Tearing Me Apart” became a cult classic—a song played late at night by those who remember the days when The Afterbeats seemed destined for greatness. A minor hit, but a major story filled with passion, scandal, and the harsh realities of the music world.
