They named themselves after the popular crew cut haircut, one of the first connections made between pop music and hairstyle. While the crew-cut hair style came as a result of the name change, the original intent was that the name crew-cuts denoted the music they sang (pop) as opposed to Longhair (classical). They were most famous for their recording of The Chords "Sh-Boom."
The group moved from Mercury to RCA Records in 1958 and eventually broke up in 1964, but they all moved to the U.S. and reunited in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1977. In the 1990s they were inducted into the Juno Hall of Fame. In recent years, the three remaining members have appeared on a PBS special filmed in Atlantic City's Trump's Taj Mahal. The program. "Magic Moments: The Best of '50s Pop" continues to air as part of the fund raising efforts for the Public Broadcasting System.
The Crew-Cuts were
* Rudi Maugeri (January 21, 1931 - May 7, 2004) (baritone)
* John Perkins (born August 28, 1931) (lead)
* Ray Perkins (born November 28, 1932) (bass) (John Perkins' brother)
* Pat Barrett (born September 15, 1933) (1st or high tenor)
