… 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 Mystics' song "Hushabye" is a soothing lullaby that reassures a loved one that they are being protected and watched over by guardian angels. The song starts with a repetitive chant-like melody that instantly lulls the listener into a peaceful state. The verses describe the singer's desire for their loved one to rest peacefully and not cry. The chorus "Hushabye" is a gentle reminder to the listener to calm down and fall asleep. The lyrics "In your dreams I hold you tight, till the dawn's early light" perfectly capture the essence of the song's dreamlike quality, and the line "Sandman will be coming soon, singing you a slumber tune" adds to the feeling of warmth and safety.
The song has a very simple structure, but its simplicity is exactly what makes it such a memorable and powerful lullaby. This song speaks to people of all ages, and it is often played for newborns as well as for adults with sleep difficulties. The Mystics' dreamy and ethereal vocals create a soothing atmosphere, and the repetition of "Hushabye" invites the listener into a world of peace and relaxation.

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
