The Mello-Kings

They were a doo-wop group in 1950's. Their only hit song was, "Tonight,Tonight" The group consisted of brothers Christopher Simon,Jerry and Bob Scholl, Eddie Quinn, Neil Arena and Larry Esposito. They formed 1956 at a high school in Mount Vernon, New York. Originally named the Mellotones, the group was signed to the Herald label. "Tonight,Tonight" was written by Billy Myles, a staff composer for the label. The group was forced to change its name after the single's release, as another group had already claimed Mellotones. The record lasted only 10 weeks in the US pop, and the group was never able to repeat this success.

The group appeared in revival shows in the late 60's and early 70's. In 1975, lead singer Bob Scholl was tragically killed in a boating accident. The group disappeared from the scene for a couple of years until around 1977 when Jerry Scholl started it back up again.-wikipedia.org
