The Revels (doo-wop group)

The Revels were an American doo-wop group, best known for their 1959 hit single "Midnight Stroll." Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the group consisted of brothers Tony and Kenny Rossi, along with John Arena, and later, Gene Luca.

Their signature sound featured a distinctive bass vocal performance on "Midnight Stroll," which helped propel the song to the national charts, reaching the top 40 in both the US and the UK. The song's success was attributed to its catchy melody, unique instrumentation, and overall novelty appeal.

While "Midnight Stroll" remains their most well-known recording, The Revels released other singles, though they did not achieve the same level of commercial success. They continued to perform and record music throughout the early 1960s, but ultimately faded from the spotlight as the doo-wop sound gave way to other musical genres. Despite their relatively short career, The Revels are remembered for their contribution to the doo-wop era and the enduring popularity of "Midnight Stroll." The song has been featured in various films and television shows, ensuring its continued recognition.
