In 1956 the G-Clefs recorded their first hit "Ka Ding Dong". It ranked #24 on the Billboard charts that year. Their biggest hit came later in 1961 with "I Understand" reaching #9 also on the Billboard's top 100.
In 1997 PBS featured singing groups like the G-Clefs to appear on their televised production that made Doo-Wop popular again throughout the entire country.
This is the story of the G-Clefs during that same time period. There are numerous unpublished photographs and stories documenting their return to the spotlight with all the fame and disappointments that only a Doo-Wop singing group like theirs could possibly experience.
For the first time ever, this is a comprehensive history of the very still popular music of Doo-Wop and "The saga of America's last original Doo-Wop group from the 1950s still performing."
A collection of stories correlating the singing group’s come back during the 1990s with a series of performances when Doo-Wop gained national attention once again. Their guitar player Mike Devlin tells of this adventure as he recalls the ups and downs the group had over a ten year period during that time. Numerous illustrations included.
A must read for all "Doo-Woppers" out there!
