The Crescendos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crescendos were an early American rock and roll group from Nashville, Tennessee.

Formed in 1957, they hit with the song "Oh Julie" the following year, which rose to #4 on the U.S. Black Singles chart and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The song featured backing vocals by Janice Green, who happened to be auditioning at the recording studio where the single was recorded.[2] They recorded two more singles for Nasco Records which flopped, and had disbanded by 1959.
