  • The Marcels fueron un grupo de doo wop conocido por convertir canciones populares estadounidenses en rock and roll. La banda se formó en Pittsburgh en 1959 con Cornelius Harp como vocalista principal, Fred Johnson como bajo, junto a Gene Bricker, Ron Mundy y Richard Knauss. La hermana menor de Fred, Priscilla, le puso el nombre al grupo debido a un corte de pelo popular de la época («The Marcell wave»). En 1961, causaron furor con su nueva versión de la balada Blue Moon, la cual comenzaba con el cantante bajo diciendo: "bomp-baba-bomp" and "dip-da-dip." El disco vendió alrededor de un millón de copias y fue galardonado como disco de oro.​ (es)
