Brooklyn, NY-based doowop group formed in 1961 and originally composed of Vito Balsamo, Bobby Mitchell, Barry Solomo and Bob Depallo. Depallo and Solomo left the group in 1962 and the group carried on with numerous personnel changes over the years, but the lineup that remained together the longest included Vito Balsamo (lead and baritone), Randy Silverman (lead and 1st tenor), Shelly Buchansky (1st and 2nd tenor), Lenny Citrin (bass and baritone) and Frankie Fox (bass and baritone). The group disbanded in the mid-1960's, but returned in 1971 to perform on the oldies revival circuit.
