The Jarmels

The Jarmels was an American doo wop rhythm and blues group formed in 1959 in Richmond, Virginia[1] best known for their only hit, 1961’s "A Little Bit of Soap".

[citation needed] The start of their big break came in 1960 when they were at a local (Richmond) venue where Ben E. King was appearing, and they met him.

[2] Jim Gribble, who had previously worked with The Mystics and The Passions, was assigned as manager of the Jarmels.

However, their second single, "A Little Bit of Soap", reached number 12 in America on the Billboard chart in June of the same year.

[2] The flip side of the recording was "The Way You Look Tonight", a song featured in the film Swing Time and originally performed by Fred Astaire.
