The Tokens are an American male doo-wop style vocal group and record production company group from Brooklyn, New York. They are known best for their chart-topping 1961 single, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight.  

That's nice, we all know that song . . . but how about "Tonight I fell in Love"  which made it to #15 on the Billboard top 100 in 1961!  Not sure I've ever heard this song . . .  but it's a winner!
The Dells were an American R&B  vocal group. Formed in high school in 1952 by founding members Marvin Junior, Verne Allison, Johnny Funches, Chuck Barksdale, and Mickey and Lucius McGill, under the name the El-Rays, they released their first recording in 1954.  In 1955, the group renamed themselves the Dells and signed with Vee-Jay Records. Two years later they had their first R&B hit with "Oh what a Night" which hit #5 on the R&B singles chart. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.  The song is ranked #260 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of  "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". 
George Hege Hamilton IV (July 19, 1937 – September 17, 2014) was an American Country Musician.  He began performing in the late 1950s as a teen idol.  Hamilton recorded "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" for a Colonial Records. The song, written by John d. Loudermilk, climbed to No. 6 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart.  By 1960, "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" had attained gold record status.  
                             BONUS TO ALL "DO-WOP ROCKERS"!
Famed for their lone hit, "Puddin' n' Tain," The Alley Cats were one of the many studio groups employed by the legendary pop producer and Svengali Phil Spector.   "Puddin' n' Tain," ascended to number 21 on the R&B chart in early 1963.  A Classic Oldie!
                                                      Does anyone remember this little jewel???
Till Next Week
