The Charts were a Doo-Wop group from Harlem, New York, formed in 1956. They are most famous for their recording "Deserie." The original members included the lead vocalist, a first tenor, Glenmore Jackson as the second tenor, a baritone, and Ross Buford as the bass. Initially called "The Thrilltones," they changed their name at the suggestion of their manager. "Deserie," their most famous song, was released in 1957 on a label but did not chart nationally. However, it gained popularity in New York and is considered a Doo-Wop classic. The success of "Deserie" led to performances at prestigious venues such as the Apollo Theater in Harlem and the Regal Theater in Chicago. The group broke up in 1967. Despite their talent and regional popularity, The Charts were unable to achieve broader commercial success. Nevertheless, their contribution to the Doo-Wop genre, especially with "Deserie," remains a significant part of music history.
