The Orioles were an American R&B group of the late 1940s and early 1950s, one of the earliest such vocal groups who established the basic pattern for the doo-wop sound. The Orioles are generally acknowledged as R&B's first vocal group. Baltimore natives, they blended rhythm with group harmonies. Dubbing themselves after Maryland's state bird, the Orioles started the trend of bird groups (The Cardinals, The Crows, The Flamingos, The Larks, The Penguins, The Ravens, The Wrens, etc.). They brought their winning formula to their first charted hit "It's Too Soon to Know"; a #1 record in November 1948, soon followed by the group's second hit, "(It's Gonna Be a) Lonely Christmas", in December that same year.

  • The Orioles war eine Rhythm 'n' Blues bzw. Doo-Wop-Band der späten 1940er und frühen 1950er Jahre, die als erste schwarze R&B-Gesangsgruppe überhaupt gilt. Die Band wurde 1947 in Baltimore von Sonny Til, Alexander Sharp, George Nelson, Johnny Reed und Tommy Gaither als The Vibranaires gegründet, zu einem Zeitpunkt, als alle Mitglieder der Gruppe noch Teenager waren. Schon bald wurde Songwriterin auf die Vibranaires aufmerksam und bot sich an, ihr Bandmanager zu werden. Sie war es auch, die für die Band einen Auftritt in Arthur Godfreys TV-Show Talent Scouts organisierte. Nachdem George Shearing sich geweigert hatte, die fünf Musiker zu produzieren, erschien als Alternative auf der Bildfläche, der die Vibranaires 1948 für sein eigenes Label verpflichtete. (de)

  • The Orioles — американская вокальная группа 1940-х — 1950-х годов, которую часто называют «первой [в истории] ритм-н-блюзовой вокальной группой». Была сформирована в родном городе пяти участников оригинального состава — Балтиморе — в 1947 году. Сначала они назвали группу Vibranaires, а потом переименовались в «Иволг» (Orioles) — официальных птиц штата Мэриленд Как пишет в биоографии группы на своём сайте Зал славы рок-н-ролла, «The Orioles выработали базовый шаблон для ду-вопного звучания: бессловесные, мелизматические гармонии, окружающие тенорный вокал Сонни Тила и баритон Джорджа Нельсона».
