The Danleers

The Danleers formed in Brooklyn in early 1958, joining the ranks of the many streetcorner doo-wop groups existing at the time. Danny Webb became the group’s manager and principal songwriter, naming them after himself. The group recorded their debut single, "One Summer Night", for the AMP 3 label, owned by Bill Lasley, who signed the group in the spring of 1958. The song began gaining traction regionally, and unable to handle distribution, the label leased the single to Mercury Records. Mercury helped push the record to become one of that year’s biggest summer songs, selling over one million copies. The group joined Frankie Avalon, Bobby Darin, and others on a nationally touring road show in the late 1950s. In 1996, The Best of the Danleers: The Mercury Years, was released; the compilation includes all of the group’s singles for Mercury, in addition to unreleased recordings. ==Members==
