Due to the various names they recorded under, they are probably one of the most confusing Doo Wop group's discographies to follow. Although the name was changed frequently, the line-up remainded pretty stable throughout their recording careers between 1958- 1968. Hollywood Saxons are a wonderful example of pop Doo Wop, managing to stay clear of the R&B tag that most vocal groups began to be labelled with.
The band formed in Los Angeles in the mid 50's and spent a year practising before setting out on their respective career in music. Most famous for their recording of "Everyday Is A Holiday" in 1961, although somewhat pop in sound, they are undeniably slick in recordings and have a sound that oozes with mono-dreamy-doo-wop-goodness. By far one of the finest West Coast doo wop groups... Enjoy a few of my favourite tracks...
Enjoy!
