Doo Wop
The doo wop group The Danleers were from Brooklyn, New York, and consisted of James Weston, John Lee, Nat McCune, Roosevelt Mays, and William Ephraim. They based their name on that of their manager, Danny Webb, who also wrote this song. “One Summer Night” features fine vocal singing and harmonies as well as some echo to create an atmosphere. The song went to #4 on the R&B Chart and #7 on the U.S. Pop Chart in 1958. Collectors might be interested that the first pressing of the single on Amp 3 listed their named incorrectly as “Dandleers.” The reissue soon after on Mercury spelled the name properly.
