Capris

Created in Queens, NY, USA, in 1958, this vocal quintet contains Nick Santamaria (lead vocals), Mike Mincelli (1st tenor), Vinny Nacardo (second tenor), Frank Reins (baritone) and John Apostol (bass). These were most widely known for the doo-wop ballad ‘There’s A Moon Out Tonight’, a US #3 3 one in early 1961. The melody was recorded with the Capris in 1958 and released on the tiny Planet Information label; however, it had been not a strike as well as the group disbanded. Later in 1960, the owners of Shed Nite Records, among the initial labels to focus on reissuing earlier rock and roll ‘n’ move recordings, bought the master from the documenting and re-released it. It had been after that leased to the bigger, more established Aged Town Information, and, due to the revived curiosity about group harmony performing, the record almost reached the very best of the graph. The group re-formed and documented additional singles for Aged Town as well as the Mr. Peeke label, but although three reached the graphs, they never really had another strike. The group provides stayed together because the early 60s, nevertheless, and in 1982 documented an record for Ambient Sound Information that included an revise of their strike.
