The Moonglows were an influental American
R&B and
doo wop group, featuring such legendary singers as
Bobby Lester[?],
Harvey Fuqua[?],
Alexander Graves[?] and
Prentiss Barnes[?], along with guitarist
Billy Johnson[?]. Originally known as
The Crazy Sounds and
The Moonlighters, they were renamed by
Alan Freed. Their first hit was "Sincerely" (
1954), which was followed by a series of R&B hits for
Chess Records, including "Most of All" and "Please Send Me Someone to Love". The band's success had dried up by
1961, and didn't score any hits until a reworked version of "Sincerely" hit the charts after reuniting in
1972.
