The Silhouettes were an American doo-wop and rhythm and blues quartet, whose notable rise to fame came with their 1957 hit single "Get A Job", an anthem that reflected the work ethic and frustrations of the American workforce during the post-war era. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the group originally formed in 1956 and was composed of lead singer Bill Horton, tenor Richard Lewis, baritone Earl Beal, and bass Raymond Edwards. The Silhouettes captured the essence of street corner harmonies and the transitioning musical landscape of the late 1950s, contributing to the rich tapestry of the doo-wop genre.

Their music, characterized by tight harmonies and catchy melodies, cements the legacy of The Silhouettes within the pantheon of early rock and roll and R&B artists. While their most iconic song, "Get A Job", eclipses their other work in terms of commercial success, their contributions to music were far-reaching, influencing countless artists and groups in the decades to come. Decades later, the group continued to celebrate their classic sound with releases like "Doo Wop, Philly's Style!" and "Conversations With The Silhouettes," offering nostalgic and genuine retrospectives of their enduring career. Despite the members changing over time, The Silhouettes maintained their authenticity and appeal as one of the definitive voices of doo-wop.
