The Rays was an American musical group formed in New York in 1955, and active in the 1950s. They first recorded for Chess Records. Their biggest hit single was "Silhouettes," a moderately-slow doo-wop piece of pop music that reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1957, released on Cameo Records.

This song was later released in a slightly faster version with more of a triplet feel by the group Herman's Hermits in the mid 1960s.

It was also covered by Bob Dylan, but still unreleased, from his Basement Tapes sessions in the late '60s.
