New York's "Barge" group

In 1965, this group was discovered by Sid Bernstein, the legendary promoter who had brought the Beatles to America. With their effortless interplay, songwriting skills, and schoolboy outfits - ruffled shirts and knickers, a gimmick thought up by one of the members - they were soon on the charts, although their first smash hit wasn't an original, having already been a R&B hit for the Olympics.
Awards/Honors include: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1997) GRAMMY Hall of Fame (1999). The had 3 # 1 hits and also 3 Top Ten hits. Let's see who remembers this wonderful group. Click here
