The Playmates were an American late 1950s vocal group led by the pianistChic Hetti (born Carl Cicchetti, 26 February 1930), drummerDonny Conn (born Donald Claps, 29 March 1930 – September 2, 2015), and Morey Carr (31 July 1932 – 1987), all from Waterbury, Connecticut, United States.^[1] What has better odds blackjack or roulette.

Career[edit]

The Playmates, Donald Claps (a.k.a. Donny Conn) drummer and lyricist, Carl Cicchetti (a.k.a. Chic Hetti) pianist music composer and Morey Cohen (a.k.a. Morey Carr) lead vocalist were an instrumental and vocal trio, all from Waterbury, Connecticut, United States and, in the early 1950s, at the University of Connecticut.^[1] After graduation in 1952, they began touring small lounges and night clubs in the United States and Canada, originally as 'the Nitwits', later as the Playmates.^[1]

Signed to Roulette Records in 1958 as the label's first vocal group,^[2] and anticipating a Calypso craze, the group recorded an album called Playmates Visit the West Indies. They then released two notable Top 40 singles — 'Jo-Ann' and 'Don't Go Home' — before having a number 4 hit (July 9, 1958) with the tempo-changing novelty song 'Beep, Beep',^[1] which became a regular feature for Dr. Demento.

The 'Beep, Beep' song was on the BillboardTop 40chart for twelve weeks. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.^[3] Concurrently with this song, American Motors (AMC) was setting production and sales records for the Rambler models.^[4] Because of a directive by the BBC at the time that songs did not include brand names in their lyrics, a version of 'Beep Beep' was recorded for the European market, replacing the Cadillac and Nash Rambler with the generic terms limousine and bubble car.

They followed up with a chart listing single in 1959 with 'What Is Love' and then again in 1960 with 'Wait For Me'.^[5] After four albums for Roulette, the novelty group — known for its between-song comedy and banter as much for its repertoire^[1] — broke up in 1965. Morey Carr died from lung cancer in 1987.^[6] Donald Claps died in Malibu, California, on September 2, 2015 at the age of 85. Cutting slots in composite decking.
