艺人介绍

by Bill Dahl

One of the leading cover groups of the mid-50s, the Diamonds adapted current R&B hits into pop gold of their own. Hailing from Toronto, the Canadian quartet (consisting of Ted Kowalski, Phil Leavitt, Bill Reed, and Dave Somerville) signed with Mercury in 1955 and immediately zoomed up pop play lists with covers of the Teenagers Why Do Fools Fall in Love; the Willows Church Bells May Ring; and their biggest hit of all, a sanitized version of the Gladiolas hit Little Darlin. Fronted by David Somerville, the quartet hit with an original, the smooth dance outing The Stroll. After weathering major personnel changes, the Diamonds notched their last hit in 1961. Somerville remained active as a solo artist for a time, and the Diamonds often toured the oldies scene.
