艺人介绍

by Mark DemingBronx-based doo-wop foursome The Halos enjoyed a modest hit in 1961 with the song Nag, but they were more widely heard as a back-up group working with other artists of the late 1950s and early 60s. Al Cleveland, Arthur Crier, Phil Johnson and Harold Johnson first began working together as backing vocalists for producer Morty Craft, who used them to accompany Shirley and Lee on Let The Good Times Roll, along with a number of other sides. Under the name The Craftys (a nod to their producer), they cut their first single, L-O-V-E, in 1960, but were billed as The Halos for their next record, Nag, which peaked at 25 on the Billboard Pop charts. Several more singles followed, none of which reached the same level of chart success. However, the group continued to be busy on the studio scene, cutting several singles with singer Cammy Carol and adding doo-wops and harmonies to two early Phil Spector productions, Curtis Lees Pretty Little Angel Eyes and Gene Pitneys Every Breath I Take. While The Halos would never achieve true stardom, Arthur Criers influence as a musician certainly paid off for his family — Criers son Sabu Crier was a member of the group GQ, and Criers grandson Keith Sabu Crier Jr. would become a major R&B star under the stage name Keith Sweat.
