Among the most seminal R&B and doo wop groups of all time, the
Moonglows' lineup featured some of the genre's greatest pure singers.
The original lineup from Louisville included Bobby Lester, Harvey Fuqua,
Alexander Graves, and Prentiss Barnes, with guitarist Billy Johnson.
They were originally called the Crazy Sounds, but were renamed by disc
jockey Alan Freed as the Moonglows. The group also cut some recordings
as the Moonlighters. Their first major hit was the number one R&B
gem "Sincerely" for Chess in 1954, which reached number 20 on the pop
charts.
