The Crew-Cuts

The Crew-Cuts (sometimes spelled Crew Cuts or Crewcuts) were a Canadian vocal and doowop quartet, that made a number of popular records that charted in the United States and worldwide.

When the Four Lads returned to Toronto for a homecoming concert, John Perkins and Maugeri ran into each other and decided that they could themselves have a musical future.

A Toronto disk jockey, Barry Nesbitt, put them on his weekly teen show, whose audience gave the group a new name, The Canadaires.

They were playing in a Sudbury, Ontario, night club in a sub-zero Canadian winter when they received notice that they had been invited to appear as a guest on a Cleveland television program.

Although their first hit, "Crazy 'Bout You, Baby", was written by Maugeri and Barrett themselves, they quickly became specialists in cover recordings of originally-R&B songs.

In recent years, the three remaining members (Rudi Maugeri died in 2004) appeared on a Public Broadcasting Service special filmed at Atlantic City's Trump Taj Mahal.

The company supplied music on ten-inch reels of audiotape for use in radio station automation systems and for "Live Assist" use, around the world.
