Lenny Cocco & The Chimes - 2010 - As Time Goes By (2 Cd's) @320

 

The Chimes (American band) 

The Chimes (later Lenny Cocco & the Chimes) were an American doo wop group from Brooklyn.[1]

The group came together under the direction of lead singer Lenny Cocco in the mid-1950s.

Their first single was a version of "Once in a While" a 1937 hit for Tommy Dorsey released on Tag Records.

The song became a hit in the U.S., peaking at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1961, and No. 15 in Canada.

The follow-up single was "I'm in the Mood for Love", a song from the 1930s.

This hit No. 38 later that year. In 1962, they began recording as Lenny & the Chimes, and moved to Metro Records and then to Laurie Records in 1963.

In 1964, they released the single "Two Times" on Vee-Jay, but broke up shortly after.

In subsequent decades they have re-formed for the doo-wop revival circuit, usually under the name Lenny Cocco and the Chimes. Cocco died in 2015 at age 78.
