Artist Bio:
The Olympics were an American rhythm and blues group formed in 1957 in Los Angeles, California. The group originally consisted of Walter Ward, Eddie Lewis, Charles Fizer, Walter Hammond, and Melvin King. They were known for their energetic live performances and catchy doo-wop and R&B songs.
The Olympics achieved moderate success in the 1960s with hits like "Hully Gully," "Western Movies," and "Big Boy Pete." They were also known for their dance-craze songs that became popular during that era. The group continued to perform and record music throughout the 1960s and 1970s, but they never reached the same level of commercial success as some of their contemporaries. Despite this, The Olympics are remembered as an influential and dynamic group in the history of rhythm and blues music.
