1. The Diamonds (Canada). The original vocal quartet consisted of Dave Somerville, Phil Levitt, Ted Kowalski, and Bill Reed. When Kowalski and Reed left they were replaced by Californians John Felton and Evan Fischer.
In the beginning the group practiced several types of vocal styles, including four part "barber style" harmony. The Diamonds began their singing in local clubs, school functions, church socials, and anywhere they could find an audience.
They came to the attention of Coral Records, a subsidiary of Decca Records, where they covered two records, Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots ( a hit for the Cheers) b\w "Nip Sip" (a Clovers song) during the summer of 1955. Neither sold well enough to convince Coral to retain them. However, Bill Randle, an influential Cleveland deejay, liked them enough to mention their name to an executive at Mercury Records. the Diamonds signed with one of the labels that developed the market for "covers."
The Diamonds decision to cover rhythm and blues artist was the result of economic reality: cover records sold very well in markets where the original versions wouldn't be acceptable. Among their hits in 1956 were "Why Do Fools Fall In Love," "Church Bells May Ring," "Love, Love, Love" and "Ka-King-Dong," originally recorded by the Teenagers, the Willows, the Clovers, and the G-Clefs, respectively.
After their run with success in the 50s and 60s they continued performing till the present day.

the Diamonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She told me I had to come sit at the 'cool' table.
She and I always butted heads but we both accepted each other's differences.
Just 4 months ago we went away on a girls weekend, she was very rude and obnoxious.
You see, she now has early Alzheimer's and that can cause mood swings and anger among other things.
So I just ignored it, and tried to talk to her so she understood why she was making the other girls upset.
Somehow this is all my fault.
She knows my souls secrets like no friend I ever had.
The girls tried to apologize, because they had been mean.
I guess I feel guilty because of her illness.
I loved her and missed her.
But after 4 months I feel so calm not having to constantly try to fix or buffer every encounter.
It's hard and odd to lose a friend for no reason, I am glad for my friends who accept me and love me.
But sad for my loss.
The Diamonds's song "Batman Wolfman Frankenstein or Dracula" tells the story of a young girl who falls in love with a dangerous man. She sees the danger, but she cannot help herself. The lyrics describe her fear and excitement as she becomes more involved with him. She knows that he is a monster, but she cannot resist his charm.
The chorus "Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein or Dracula" refers to the different monsters that the girl compares her lover to. She is unsure if he is Batman, a hero fighting for good, or one of the other monsters, dangerous and unpredictable. The song portrays the struggle between the girl's fear and her desire, as she tries to decide if she should stay with him or leave.

I love to take my baby to a movie show
So I can try to smooch her while the lights are low
But she won't cuddle to a story of romance
There's only one way I've got a chance
It takes the Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein or Dracula
To put her in the mood for love
It takes the Cat Girl, Dog Boy, Creature from the Black Lagoon
To make her feel like making love
It takes a monster from outer space
To make my baby want my embrace
And when I hold her, she's like a dream
If only she can hear somebody scream
She doesn't go for parking down in Lovers' Lane
And lots of moonlight doesn't drive this girl insane
She thinks that dreamy music really is a bore
But I found out what she's looking for
It takes the Batman, Wolfman,…
