The Elegants
- Soundtrack
The Elegants began life in Staten Island, NY, in the mid-1950s.
In 1958 the group--consisting of lead singer
Vito Picone, Carmen Romano, James Moschella,
Frank Tardogno and Arthur Venosa--scored a #1 hit with the doo-wop
classic "Little Star", which had a catchy beat, smooth harmonies and
was based on a melody by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". For some reason they didn't record
again for another year, but it was too late and none of their releases
even got on the charts. They soon broke up.
