The Casinos were a nine-member doo-wop group from Cincinnati, led by Gene Hughes. They are best-known for their John Loudermilk-written song "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye," which hit #9 on the Billboard charts in 1967, well after the end of the doo-wop era.

The group was around Hughes and his brothers, and they signed a deal with Fraternity Records. "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" was their first single, and its vocal harmony and organ interlude would not have been out of place in a Top Ten hit from 10 or 15 years earlier. The tried to follow it up with a Don Everly song, "It's All Over Now," but that only hit #65.

After his time with the Casinos was over, Hughes became a country music promoter, and died on February 3, 2004, at age 67 from complications in a car accident.
