A Cincinnati vocal group, Otis Williams the Charms landed a number-one RB hit for almost ten weeks in 1954 with Hearts of Stone, a song that remains among the most enduring doo wop anthems. Otis Williams, Richard Parker, Donald Peak, Joe Penn, and Rolland Bradley first recorded for Rockin' in 1953, but did Hearts of Stone for Deluxe the next year. They had several other hits, among them Ling, Ting, Tong, Two Hearts, Ivory Tower, and United, all of which made the Top Ten on the RB charts between 1955 and 1957. Their songs were issued as Otis Williams His Charms in 1956 and 1957. Williams later tried his hand at country. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
