Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Orlons were a Philadelphia vocal group that started in the early 1960s with Shirley Brickley, Stephen Caldwell, Marlena Davis, and Walter Goldsbury. Their first real hit came in 1962 with "Don't Hang Up," which did well on both the R&B and pop charts. That song had a straightforward doo-wop feel with a clear, catchy melody that stuck with people.
They followed that with songs like "South Street" and "Wah Watusi," which kept them on the radio through the mid-1960s. The group's sound was basically clean vocal harmonies over simple, danceable rhythms. They put out a few albums during those years, including one called "South Street" in 1963.
Like a lot of groups from that period, the Orlons saw some lineup changes over time. William Hart joined the group later on. They were part of that wave of early-60s vocal acts that came out of Philadelphia, making uncomplicated pop records that worked on AM radio.
