The Mystics, an American rock and roll group from Brooklyn, New York, emerged in the late 1950s. Originally known as The Overons, the quintet—Phil Cracolici (lead), Albee Cracolici (baritone), George Galfo (second tenor), Bob Ferrante (first tenor), and Al Contrera (bass)—adopted their iconic name upon signing with Laurie Records. Their 1959 hit "Hushabye," penned by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, became a doo-wop classic, reaching No. 20 on the national charts and later covered by The Beach Boys. Over the years, The Mystics underwent several lineup changes, with notable members including Paul Simon (then known as Jerry Landis) and Jay Traynor, who later formed Jay and the Americans. In 2015, the original members were inducted into the Doo Wop Music Hall of Fame, cementing their legacy in American music history.
