The Danleers
The Danleers were an American doo-wop group formed in Brooklyn, New York City, in 1958. The group's original and most famous lineup consisted of Jimmy Weston, Johnny Lee, Willie Ephraim, Nat McCune, and Roosevelt Mays. One of many streetcorner vocal groups in Brooklyn, they rose to prominence in 1958 on the strength of the single "One Summer Night", written by their manager, Danny Webb, who also named the group. The single was one of the biggest hits of that year and sold over one million copies. Further releases were not so successful, and the group mostly dissolved by the mid-1960s. It continued to tour for several decades with Weston as the main original member.
