THE CAPRIS
The Capris are an American doo wop group who became a one-hit wonder in 1961 with “There’s a Moon Out Tonight”. They experienced a popularity and performing resurgence in the 1980s, when three members reformed; and The Manhattan Transfer recorded their song, “Morse Code of Love”, which reached the US Hot 100 and the U.S. Adult Contemporary top 20.

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.”
