The Rays
**The Rays** were a 1950s doo-wop vocal group best known for their timeless hit "Silhouettes," a smooth, harmony-driven track that became a rock-and-roll era staple. The Brooklyn-based group, originally called The Sensations, scored their biggest success in 1957 with the release of "Silhouettes," which climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 3 on the pop chart. Their iconic live performance of the song on *The Ed Sullivan Show* in December 1957 cemented their place in music history, showcasing their velvety vocal blend to a national audience. Though they never replicated the same level of fame after "Silhouettes," the track endured as a nostalgic gem of early rock and doo-wop, frequently covered by later artists. Details about their lineup and later career are sparse, but The Rays’ contribution to the golden age of vocal groups remains unforgettable.
