Found out at New York’s Apollo Theatre in 1952, the Crows had been among the many organizations pioneering doo wop making use of their infectious, cheerful vocals and harmonies, usage of non-sense syllables, and revised leap blues instrumental support. Cut in 1953, “Gee,” using its amazing melody, naively enthusiastic street-corner performing, and Charlie Christian-like acoustic guitar solo, was by far their best solitary. It had been also their just successful one, though it required almost annually to remove, reaching quantity 14 for the pop graphs (and number 2 for the R&B graphs) in early 1954. Documenting in regards to a half-dozen additional 45s between 1952 and 1954, the group split up with small fanfare only weeks after “Gee” dropped off the strike parade.
