Sonny Til and The Orioles

The Orioles were one of the early singing groups of the fifties. They are noted for their hits It's Too Soon to Know and Crying in the Chapel. They helped pioneer the basic doo wop sound. It's Too Soon to Know is a candidate for the first rock and roll song. They are often considered the first R&B vocal group. Despite being predominantly fifties they were inducted as an Early Influence.
