Rip Van Winkleby The Devotions

Artist Bio:
The Devotions were an American doo-wop group formed in New York City in the late 1950s. The group consisted of members Johnny Wyatt, Lenny Cocco, Jimmy Stafford, and Billy Tassone. They are best known for their hit song "Rip Van Winkle," which was released in 1964 and became a classic in the doo-wop genre. The song reached number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and solidified the group's place in doo-wop history.

Despite their success with "Rip Van Winkle," The Devotions did not achieve the same level of commercial success with their other recordings. They continued to perform and record music throughout the 1960s, but eventually faded into obscurity. However, their impact on the doo-wop genre remains significant, and "Rip Van Winkle" is still celebrated as a classic doo-wop song.
