The Five Satins were one of the many doo-wop vocal groups to achieve popularity during the genre's boom years of the mid-50s, and their huge debut hit "In The Still Of The Night" has become one of the most played oldies on US radio over the decades. They began their career as The Scarlets before becoming The Five Satins, recording for Bobby Robinson's Red Robin label, and then the small Standord label, for whom they recorded their debut hit before it was sold to Ember, the label where they made most of their best-known titles, before releasing tracks on MGM/Cub, United Artists and Chancellor in the early '60s. This 56-track 2-CD collection comprises all the titles released on those labels, including their Ember album tracks, from their 1954 debut through to 1962, by which time their main heyday was over, although they have had a long and successful career on the revival circuit in the USA. It's a must for anyone interested in collecting the best of the material from the classic groups of the doowop era.
