The Chantels

[2] Lead singer Arlene Smith had received classical training and performed at Carnegie Hall at age 12.

[2] The girls were discovered by Richard Barrett, lead singer of the Valentines, and by the summer of 1957 they were signed to End Records, owned by George Goldner.

That album was soon withdrawn and repackaged with a picture of two white teenagers picking out a song; the title was shortened to The Chantels.

[6][7] To cash in on "Look in My Eyes", End threw together an album titled There's Our Song Again, a compilation of previously recorded material.

Smith fronted a new group called Chantels in the 1970s which featured up-and-coming disco diva Carol Douglas and former Gems vocalist Louise Bethune (who would also become a 1970s performing member of the Crystals).

On the PBS special Doo Wop 50, Smith reunited with the surviving original members of the Chantels and dedicated "Maybe" to Jackie Landry, who died in 1997.
