Born in New York City, Talbot started his musical career early singing on street corners at the age of 14. He moved to New Jersey with his family the next year, and by 17 he had moved to Los Angeles where he befriended Ralph Molina and Danny Whitten. The three of them formed a vocal group called Danny and the Memories singing Doo Wop. After moving the group to San Francisco, they morphed into The Psyrcle, and eventually grew to encompass Leon and George Whitsell and Bobby Norcroff at which point they renamed the group The Rockets.
