Biography
Formed in Brooklyn, NY, in the late '50s, this white doo wop group, consisting of Al Contrera, Al Cracolici, Phil Cracolici, George Galfo, and Bob Ferrante, scored their one and only major national hit in 1959 with the Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman-authored "Hushabye." The beauty of that one hit song, however, coupled with the quality of their subsequent work -- even though none of it ever reached a wide audience -- left an impression among doo wop enthusiasts that lingered for decades, leading to a comeback in the early '80s.
