About

Group from Queens, NY
Members: Herb Cox (lead), Charlie James (1st tenor), Berman Patterson (2nd tenor), William McClain (baritone), Warren Corbin (bass), Pat Spann

In 1955, high school students from Jamaica High School in Queens, New York, formed The Cleftones while initially aiming to write a campaign jingle. The group, initially called The Silvertones, gained local popularity by performing their version of "Gee," which helped their Independent Party win the school elections. They were later signed to Gee Records by George Goldner and officially became The Cleftones.

Do NOT confuse with the doo wop group from the Bronx: The Clefftones
