THE IMPALAS
The Impalas were an American doo-wop group in the late 1950s, best known for their hit, “Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home)”. They recorded for Hamilton Records and were found by songwriters Artie Zwirn and Aristides “Gino” Giosasi, who wrote the song “Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home)”. The song sold over one million copies, earning gold disc status. The group recorded follow-ups including “’Bye Everybody”, “Oh What A Fool”, an album for Cub, and one further single for the 20th Century label before disbanding in 1961. (More from Wikipedia)
The flip side of the hit single “At the Hop” by Danny and the Juniors was the David White song “Sometimes (When I’m All Alone)”; according to Wikipedia (as taken from the article on David White): “‘Sometimes (When I’m All Alone)’ became a favorite of a lot of street corner groups just starting out who later became successful, including the Capris, the Chimes, the Cleftones, the Young Rascals, the Del Satins, the Dovells, the Elegants, the Impalas, the Earls, Randy and the Rainbows, the Tokens. the Vogues, and Vito and the Salutations among others.”
