Little Caesar & the Romans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Caesar & the Romans were an American musical group from Los Angeles active briefly in the 1960s.
The group had three hits: the first and biggest was the nostalgic tune "Those Oldies but Goodies (Remind Me of You)", a #9 Pop and #28 R&B hit in 1961.[1] The follow-up, "Hully Gully Again", hit #54,[1] and subsequent release "Memories of those Oldies but Goodies" Bubbled Under at #101.[2] They also released a full-length album on Del-Fi Records.
The group's live act sometimes included wearing togas on stage. They broke up in 1962, at least partly due to an argument between lead singer Carl Barnett and member David Johnson (who performed the spoken-word portion of "Those Oldies but Goodies") as to which of them was Little Caesar.[2]
