Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Crows formed in Brooklyn in 1951, originally with five members including Sam "Smiley" Evans, Jerry Butler, and Jackie Wilson. They were part of that early doo-wop scene when vocal groups were working out harmonies on street corners and in school hallways.
Their 1953 single "Gee" became their signature track, one of those songs that captured a particular moment in rhythm and blues. It had that simple, catchy structure that worked well for vocal groups at the time.
Jerry Butler left the group in 1953, and Jackie Wilson followed in 1957, both going on to notable solo careers. The Crows continued recording through the mid-1950s with various lineup changes, but "Gee" remained their most remembered contribution.
