Artist Portrait

The Mello Kings

US
Composer of Rock

The Mello-Kings were a doo-wop group who became popular in the late 1950s, despite their only hit, "Tonite Tonite" (1957), never climbing higher than number 77 in the US charts.The group consisted of brothers Jerry and Bob Scholl, Eddie Quinn, Neil Arena and Larry Esposito. The quintet was formed in 1956 at a high school in Mount Vernon, New York, USA, under the guidance of manager Dick Levister. Originally named the Mellotones, the group was signed to the Herald label. "Tonite Tonite" was written by Billy Myles, a staff composer for the label. The group was forced to change its name after the single's release, as another group had already claimed Mellotones. The record lasted only ten weeks in the US pop, and the group was never able to repeat this success.
