The Orlons

The Orlons are an American R&B group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in 1960. They gained notoriety in the early 1960s with hit singles such as "The Wah-Watusi," "Don't Hang Up," and "South Street," each earning gold disc status for selling over a million copies. The group initially started as an all-girl quintet called Audrey and the Teenettes before rebranding.

The Orlons have been active in various forms, reuniting in 1988 and still performing today with original member Stephen Caldwell and others.
