The Olympics were an American doo-wop and R&B group formed in Los Angeles in 1957. Known for their energetic harmonies and humorous, dance-driven songs, they brought a lively spirit to the late-1950s and early-1960s rhythm and blues scene. Their breakout hit “Western Movies” captured national attention, followed by popular singles like “Big Boy Pete” and “(Baby) Hully Gully,” which helped spark a new dance craze. With their blend of wit, charisma, and unmistakable vocal style, The Olympics remain a memorable part of America’s early rock and R&B history.
