- Identical twin brother of Cliff Trenier.
- Recorded for labels including RCA, Mercury and OKeh.
- Attended Alabama State College, where he played in the school band, "The Alabama State Collegians".
- We sang alike and looked alike so we had an idea we wanted to try at the Apollo Theatre in New York. One of us started singing the song and would exit off one side of the stage. The light would immediately zoom over to the other side where the other brother would come out and pick up the song. It always stopped the show cold.
