The Moonglows
The Moonglows were an influental American
R&B and
doo wop group, featuring such legendary singers as Bobby Lester, Harvey Fuqua, Alexander Graves and Prentiss Barnes, along with guitarist Billy Johnson. Originally known as
The Crazy Sounds and
The Moonlighters, they were renamed by
Alan Freed. Their first hit was "Sincerely" (
1954), which was followed by a series of R&B hits for
Chess Records, including "Most of All" and "Please Send Me Someone to Love". The band's success had dried up by
1961, and didn't score any hits until a reworked version of "Sincerely" hit the charts after reuniting in
1972.
