… Read Full Bio ↴There were at least two different groups with the name The Mystics.
1.) The Mystics, Brooklyn, NY, USA
2.) The Mystics, Macau / Hong Kong
1.) The Mystics are a singing group which began in Brooklyn, New York, USA in the late 1950s. The group was known as The Overons, a quintet that, when signed to Laurie Records, consisted of Phil Cracolici (b. 1937, lead), Albee Cracolici (b. 1936, baritone), George Galfo (b. 1939, second tenor), Bob Ferrante (b. 1936, first tenor), and Al Contrera (b. 1940, bass). Under the direction of their manager, Jim Gribble, The Overons became The Mystics when each group member wrote a name they liked on a slip of paper, placed the papers in a hat and Al Contrera's choice was drawn.
2.) The Mystics were formed in 1965 during the glory years of HK’s English pop scene. The members largely comprised of hkongers of Portugese decent. The band was popular at the school parties and “tea dances”, and recorded chart toppers like I can’t help myself, Sweet soul music, Midnight hour, Going out of my head, Song of the wind, One day (sang by Don Choi) and Send her back (composed by Michael Remedios and Tony Tavares). They disbanded in 1971.

The song "Hush-A-Bye" by The Mystics is a classic doo-wop lullaby. The lyrics are a message of comfort and protection to a loved one, sung in a calming, soothing tone. The singer asks the guardian angels to watch over the one they love, and promises that they will be there for them through thick and thin, even as they sleep. The repeated refrain of "hush-hush, hushabye" reinforces the lullaby-like quality of the song, as though the singer is gently shushing the listener into a peaceful slumber.
The lyrics of the song conjure up images of a cozy bedroom, with soft pillows and a gentle breeze blowing through the window. The sandman is on his way, ready to sing the listener to sleep with a "slumber tune." The repetition of "lullabye and goodnight" at the end of each verse reinforces the gentle, soothing quality of the song, and brings to mind the bedtime rituals that parents often perform with their children. Overall, "Hush-A-Bye" is a beautiful, calming song that speaks to the universal desire for comfort and protection, especially during times of vulnerability.

Hushabye
Let it be quiet and calm
Hush hush
Let us keep silent
Oh my darlin' don't you cry
My love, do not weep
Guardian angels up above
Protectors from heaven
Take care of the one I love
Watch over my beloved
Lullabye and goodnight
Quiet, soothing song for sleep
In your dreams I hold you tight
In the fantasy world of your sleep, I embrace you
Til the dawn's early light
Until the sun rises
Pillows lying on your bed
Cushions placed on your sleeping surface
Oh my darling rest your head
My dear, let your head relax
Sandman will be coming soon
A dream weaver will arrive shortly
Singing you a slumber tune
Humming a lullaby to send you into a peaceful state

Within 20 years
basically everyone
involved with creating beautiful
music like this,
and everyone who
was alive when these hits were on
the radio, will have
moved on to meet
their Maker. But
this music will
live on forever
because of twelve year old kids today who quickly
adapt to appreciating it, in
spite of harsh the resistance of their so called "friends."
This beauty will
never be completely lost on
this increasingly
insensitive,
tasteless and reprobate world.
(The song was written in 1959
by Doc Pomus &
Mort Shuman.

Great harmony, great musical era. The late 50's and early 60's was a great time to be a teenager growing up
@johnnocera3034
Incredible harmony. One of the greatest Doo Wop songs ever.
