The Crescendos were an early American rock and roll group from Nashville, Tennessee.
Formed in 1957, they succeeded with the song "Oh, Julie" the following year, which rose to #4 on the U.S. Black Singles chart and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The record sold over one million copies, earning a gold disc.[2] The song featured backing vocals by Janice Green, who happened to be auditioning at the recording studio where the single was recorded.[3] They recorded two more singles for Nasco Records which flopped, and had disbanded by 1959.
