Luke Hartmere was a friend of JP Valentine and a member of their quartet, JP & the Wishing Stars, in 1953.
Luke initially mocked JP's cousin Bingo Zohar for his unusual dance moves and appearance. However, he changed his mind after hearing Bingo perform the then-new music style called rock and roll, especially after a record Bingo had shown Luke got Luke's girlfriend to become intimate with him. Luke and the other members of the Wishing Stars wanted to add rock n' roll music and dancing to the band's line-up, though JP refused.
54 years later, Luke and the other Wishing Stars were questioned by homicide detectives about Bingo's murder. They revealed they had kicked JP out of the quartet over his refusal to change.
