The Orioles were a successful and highly influential American R&B group of the late 1940s and early 1950s, one of the earliest such vocal bands who established the basic pattern for the doo-wop sound.
The Orioles are generally acknowledged as R & Bs first vocal group. These Baltimore natives blended rhythm with group harmonies. This profile is from the late 1980's.
Great video of one of the greatest groups. Thanks for putting this out there for all of us to remember how important Sonny Till and the Orioles were to the history of Doo Wop.
