Mp3 CBR 320 kbps | Blues | 00:52:50 | 12 MB US doo-wop quartet formed in New York in 1955 and active in the 1950s. They first recorded for Chess Records. Their biggest hit single was "Silhouettes," a moderately-slow doo-wop piece of pop music that reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1957, released on XYZ Records (and picked up by Cameo Records for national distribution). It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song was written by Bob Crewe and Frank Slay, Jr. Also on XYZ, they had a minor hit with "Magic Moon". This song was also released by The Diamonds in 1957 reaching #10 on the charts and later released in a slightly faster cover version by Herman's Hermits in the 1965, reaching #5 on the U.S. charts.. "Silhouettes" was also covered by Bob Dylan, but still unreleased, from his Basement Tapes sessions in the late 1960s. Members: Harold Miller, Walter Ford, Davey Jones, Harry James Tracklist 1.
