The Mellow-Kings Tonite Tonite 17 Titles  1958-1960 


The Mello-Kings were an American doo-wop group, who became popular in the late 1950s with their song, "Tonite, Tonite" (1957).
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, United States, 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 more than ten weeks on the US pop charts.

In 1957 the groups recorded several more singles, including "The Chapel on the Hill" and "Baby Tell Me Why Why Why", which did not chart, and "Valerie", which became a New York regional hit.

They appeared in the film Sweet Beat (1959)

  6. I am surprised, since this appears to be a recent post, that it has been taken down already and the download link is no longer available. Since I am an older person and a great lover of the 50's music, that is part of my era, if you are able to repost a new download link, I would appreciate it tremendously. As many others here have expressed similar thoughts, I appreciate all the work you put forth to make so much of this music available to us. Thank you so much.

  20. Hi Dmitrich,
    I think that you misunderstood me. There are 22 volumes in the series. You have posted 21 volumes so far. The very first volume in this series (Volume 1) is still missing. This is a nice series and I thank you for posting 21 volumes so far. Hopefully you can find the missing volume!

    1. Hi
      It's more likely my mistake... After the update, I deleted the entry about the missing four volumes. Now we just have to find one and I hope we will do it. All the best.

    2. No problem my friend. Completing this series would make my day/week/year LOL.

    3. I noticed that too, but was either too shy to mention it , or didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. Who is the artist on Vol 1?

      Delete
    4. If a front cover and track list for Vol 1 could be found, the album could probably be compiled.
