What the evidence supports

Leon Russell estate biography and National Register history identify the Tulsa group and Jerry Lee Lewis touring connection.

Retrospectives differ on Russell's 1958/1959 departure and on personnel. Store source-specific rosters, not a composite simultaneous lineup.

Confidence detail: medium. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
