Singers Cleveland Duncan, Curtis Williams, Dexter Tisby, and Bruce Tate, all students at Fremont High in Los Angeles, CA, formed the quartet in 1954. They broke up in 1959. Cleve Duncan sang lead on "Earth Angel."
The Penguins were one of a number of doo-wop groups of the period named after birds (such as The Orioles, The Flamingos, and The Crows).
The Penguins' single "Hey Senorita" was released on Doo-Tone Records in 1955 as the intended A-side, but a radio DJ flipped the record over to the B-side, "Earth Angel", which became far more popular. Their midtempo performance was a cross between rhythm and blues and the new rock and roll played by white performers and enjoyed by teenagers.
Coming off the success of "Earth Angel," The Penguins approached Buck Ram to manage them. Ram's primary interest was managing The Platters, who at that point had no hit singles but were a profitable touring group. With The Penguins in hand, Ram was able to swing a 2-for-1 deal with Mercury Records in which the company agreed to take on The Platters as a precondition for getting The Penguins (the group that Mercury really wanted). Ironically, The Penguins would never have a second hit single under the Mercury deal, while The Platters would be the label's most successful act.
The Penguins never had another national hit, but their 1957 cover of "Pledge of Love" reached #15 on the R&B chart.
For three decades, "Earth Angel" was almost always the #2 song on oldies station WCBS-FM's annual Top 500 countdown. (Another doo-wop favorite, The Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night" was the perennial #1 pick.)
The Penguins were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004. In 2004, "Earth Angel" was named #151 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs Of All Time. "Earth Angel" was also one of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll.

The Penguins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
하루하루가 왜 이렇게 매일 짧게 느껴지는지
창밖에는 달님이 벌써 찾아와서 손을 흔드네
내일은 또 얼마나 신날까 벌써 궁금해
새하얀 눈에 천사들을 그릴까?
사랑도 꿈들도 담아보자
넘어지고 부딪혀도 난다시 일어날 수 있잖아
바다 아름다운 푸른 파도 속을 날아가는 멋쟁이
넓고 넓은 세상 아직 모르는 게 너무 많은
나는 작아도 커다랗고, 언제나 반짝이는
노는 게 제일 좋은 너의 친구야
창밖에는 햇님이 벌써 찾아와서 손을 흔드네
오늘은 또 얼마나 신날까 벌써 궁금해
드넓은 하늘에 걸려있는 구름이
너의 웃는 얼굴을 닮았네
눈물 나고 슬프대도 넌
다시 일어날 수 있잖아
바다 아름다운 푸른 파도 속을 날아가는 멋쟁이
넓고 넓은 세상 아직 모르는 게 너무 많은
나는 모든 게 재미나고 언제나 빛이 나는
노는 게 제일 좋은 너의 친구야
바다 아름다운 푸른 파도 속을 날아가는 멋쟁이
넓고 넓은 세상 아직 모르는 게 너무 많은
나는 매일이 새로웁고 언제나 너와 함께
노는 게 제일 좋은 너의 친구야
너의 친구야
너의 친구야
