The Marcels were a doo-wop group that formed in 1959 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and were known for turning pop songs into doo-wop rock and roll. In 1961 their doo-wop version “Blue Moon” sold a million copies and is featured in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.” The Marcels were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002.
In 1961, The Marcels appeared in a rock and roll movie for Columbia titled Twist Around the Clock with Dion and Chubby Checker. In the film they sang “Blue Moon” and a Twist song called “Merry Twist-mas.”
