- The G-Clefs waren eine US-amerikanische R & B-Gesangsgruppe. Das Quintett, bestehend aus den Brüdern Teddy, Chris, Timmy und Arnold Scott sowie Ray Gibson, begann Anfang der 1950er Jahre in Roxbury, Massachusetts, zunächst mit Gospel. 1956 bekam die Gruppe einen Plattenvertrag und nahm als erstes den Song "Ka-Ding Dong" (US Platz 24) auf, bei dem ein junger Gitarrist namens Freddy Cannon sein Debüt gab. Dieser sollte später mit Songs wie "Tallahassee Lassie" oder "Palisade Park" auch als Sänger berühmt werden. Anschließend tourten die G-Clefs durch die Staaten, bevor sie sich in Boston niederließen. Erst 1961 gingen sie dann wieder ins Studio und nahmen das Lied "I Understand" auf, das ihr erster und einziger Top-Ten-Erfolg (US Platz 9, UK Platz 17) wurde. Anschließend trennte sich die Gruppe.

- The G-Clefs were an American doo-wop/rhythm and blues vocal group, from Roxbury, Massachusetts, United States. The G-Clefs consisted of four brothers and a fifth member who was a childhood friend. They first sang together at St Richard's Catholic Church, in their hometown of Roxbury. They were subsequently discovered by a talent scout named Jack Gold, who encouraged them to perform professionally. They began performing in greater Boston in the early 1950s. They scored two Top 40 hits in the United States: their 1956 single "Ka-Ding-Dong", featuring Freddy Cannon on guitar, peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100; it was the first national hit for their Boston-based label, Pilgrim Records. Their other hit song was 1961's "I Understand (Just How You Feel)", which used the melody from "Auld Lang Syne", reached No. 9. The latter track reached No. 17 in the UK Singles Chart in late 1961. They continued to play locally in greater Boston, at the Strand Theater in Uphams Corner (Dorchester, Massachusetts), and throughout the area into the 2000s. Ray Gipson died in 2015 at the age of 77. Tim Scott died in 2017 at the age of 78. Teddy Scott died in 2018 at the age of 82. (en)
