Artist Bio:
The Marcels were an American doo-wop group formed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1959. The group was known for their harmonized vocals and energetic performances. Their biggest hit came in 1961 with their cover of the song "Blue Moon," which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was a doo-wop version of the classic standard originally written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
The Marcels continued to release music throughout the 1960s, but they were not able to replicate the success of "Blue Moon." Despite this, they remained popular on the oldies circuit and continued to perform live. The group went through various lineup changes over the years, but their impact on doo-wop music and pop culture was lasting, with "Blue Moon" remaining one of the most recognizable doo-wop songs of all time.
