The Kalin Twins, comprised of identical twin brothers Harold "Hal" and Herbert "Herbie" Kalin, were an American rock and roll duo who made their mark on the music scene in the late 1950s. Born on February 16, 1934, in Port Jervis, New York, the twins capitalized on their harmonious vocal synergy and boy-next-door charm to appeal to the burgeoning teenage audience of the time. They are best known for their 1958 hit "When," which soared to the top of the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom, making them international sensations.

Though their stint at the forefront of popular music was relatively brief, with "When" being their most notable success, the Kalin Twins continued to record and perform into the early 1960s, leaving behind a collection of work that resonated with the doo-wop and rock and roll sounds of the era. Their music lives on through compilations and remastered editions such as "Echoes of Summer - Kalin Twins' Harmonic Rhythms (Remastered)" and "One More Time," allowing new generations to experience the harmonious magic of the twins' vocal talents. Despite their fading from the spotlight, the Kalin Twins remain a nostalgic footnote in the annals of rock history, embodying the youthful exuberance and melodic simplicity of the late '50s pop scene.
