The Quin-Tones

[1] The group's members all attended William Penn High School (York, Pennsylvania), and originally formed in 1957[2] under the name The Quinteros to sing at local functions.

[1] Paul Landersman, a disc jockey at WHGB in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania became their manager and had them record four songs.

[1] The first to be released was "Ding Dong", issued on Chess Records in 1958; the song did not chart but the group received some notice for the tune.

[4] Following this the group appeared on American Bandstand and toured the country,[1] including an August 23, 1958, show at the Apollo Theater with The Coasters, The Olympics, The Spaniels, and The Chantels, at which they received a standing ovation.

[1] The group never recorded after this, having only released five singles, and broke up in 1960 when lead vocalist Roberta Haymon married.
