“Silhouettes” (1957) by The Rays is a classic doo-wop number. According to legend, Philadelphia DJ Hy Lit accidentally helped make it a hit: he fell asleep with the record playing, so it looped on air repeatedly until he woke up. The extra radio play pushed the song to #3 on the charts:. It’s remembered for its romantic story-song lyrics and elegant harmonies.
