The Rays
Bob's Crew – The Complete Recordings 1955-1962 CD

Fronted by the distinctive voice of Hal Miller, New York doowop quartet the Rays scored one of the most memorable double sided hits of the classic Rock ‘n’ Roll era in 1957 with the original versions of Silhouettes and Daddy Cool.
These two Hall Of Fame classics have endured for almost 70 years and will live on in Doo-Wop history forever.
As the title of collection containing 30 examples of their craft (almost everything they ever recorded) implies, they were indeed ‘Bob's Crew’.
The Bob in question being songwriter-producer Bob Crewe who, with his own writer-producer partner Frank Slay Jr., discovered the group in 1955 and worked with Hal Miller and an ever-changing line up of Rays through to the mid-'60s.
 The Double Dynamite of Silhouettes/Daddy Cool may have provided the Rays with their career hit, but it was not
their only hit, and several more of the fine tracks collected here also entered the US Hot 100.
