The Village Callers is a Latin jazz and R&B group from East Los Angeles that began in the early 1960s under the name 'Marcy & the Imperials.' The band experienced numerous lineup changes and gained significant popularity in East Los Angeles, performing at prominent venues such as the Big Union Hall, Roger Young Auditorium, and Montebello Ballroom. Their victory in the battle of the bands at East Los Angeles College in 1966 or '67 opened the door to more performance opportunities. The band also had a lengthy engagement at the Plush Bunny nightclub in Pico Rivera, despite being underage. The group's manager was Hector Rivera, who was not the pianist, composer, arranger, bandleader, and producer from New York.
