Groupe Rock 'n' Roll US originaire du Tennessee formé en 1957. Les Crescendos ont enregistré quelques singles à la fin des années cinquante.
Le groupe se composait de George Lanius, son cousin Jim Lanius, Tommy Fortner,
Ken Brigham & Jimmy Hall.
One of the definitive one-shot
rock groups of the '50s, the Crescendos reached number five right out of the box
with their first single, "Oh Julie," in early 1958. A rather average doo wop
ballad, it was lifted from the ordinary to the exalted with the addition of
ghostly high backup Vocals by Janice Green, who was not even a member of the
group, having been plucked for the job by chance while auditioning at the same
studio at which the single was recorded. Also pushing the single were the
engaging sub-Elvis Vocals of George Lanius and the appealingly crude -- indeed,
garage-like -- production (there's not even a bass on the record). It was an
inspired fluke that couldn't really be repeated, and in fact the Nashville group
were dropped from their Nasco label after just two follow-up singles, leaving
"Oh Julie" behind to haunt oldies radio shows for decades.
