The Pets (1950s band)

The Pets were an American doo-wop vocal group popular in the mid-1950s. Formed in Brooklyn, New York, they are best known for their single "Cha-Hua-Hua," released in 1956 on the Aladdin Records label. The song achieved moderate regional success and is considered a minor classic of the doo-wop genre.

While details about the individual members are scant, it is understood that the group consisted of four to five male vocalists who specialized in close harmony arrangements. Their sound was typical of the era, featuring a strong lead vocal, prominent bass line, and smooth backing harmonies.

"Cha-Hua-Hua" was their most significant and possibly only major recording. Despite not achieving widespread national fame, the song has endured through oldies radio airplay and inclusion on various doo-wop compilation albums. Information regarding any other recordings or activities of The Pets beyond 1956 is limited, leading to the assumption that they disbanded shortly after their brief period of recognition.
