The Shells

The Shells were an American doo wop ensemble formed in Brooklyn, New York, United States, in 1957.[1]

Key Information

The group scored a US pop hit in 1957 with the song "Baby Oh Baby", released on Johnson Records; the song cracked the Top 30.[2] Further singles passed with little success until 1960, when producers Donn Fileti and Wayne Stierle re-issued "Baby Oh Baby".
