THE FOUR PREPS<br />
In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the group amassed eight gold singles and three gold albums. Its million-selling signature tunes include &quot;26 Miles,&quot; &quot;Big Man,&quot; &quot;Lazy Summer Night,&quot; and &quot;Down by the Station.&quot; The current incarnation of The Four Preps features the original lead singer, Bruce Belland, Bob Duncan, Joe Dickey and Skip Taylor. <br /><br />
THE BUCK RAM PLATTERS<br />
The Platters were one of the most successful vocal groups of the 1950s. Starting with their first hit Only You, the group had 15 gold records and 22 consecutive appearances on the Billboard charts. They spent 211 uninterrupted weeks on the charts, and became the first black group to make the Top Ten Pop Chart. The Platters&#39; greatest hit songs include &quot;The Great Pretender,&quot; &quot;You&#39;ve Got the Magic Touch,&quot; &quot;My Prayer&quot; and &quot;Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.&quot; <br /><br />
THE SAFARIS, FEATURING JIMMY STEPHENS<br />
As lead singer of the Safaris, Jimmy recorded &quot;Image of A Girl&quot; in 1960, and it became an instant hit in the Los Angeles area, followed closely by increasing popularity across the country and the world. With eventual sales of over 1,000,000 copies worldwide, the group toured all over the country with the Platters, Fabian, Brenda Lee and many others.<br />
