Hometown = New York City

NOTE: The Cadillacs formed in Harlem in 1953 and called themselves The Carnations at the time. Their manager and songwriter Ester Navarro changed their name to "The Cadillacs". The masterpiece ballad "Gloria" was written about the singer Gloria Smith. The song "Gloria" became a street corner standard. Any "would-be doo-woppers" would have to sing "Gloria" well in order to earn respect on the street. Earl Carroll eventually left the group and joined "The Coasters".  The Cadillacs stage presentation and flashy outfits set the stage for many other groups to follow.

Songs = Side One: "My Girlfriend", "Broken Heart", "Betty My Love", "Shock-A-Doo", "Gloria", "Zoom-Boom-Zing"; Side Two: "Don't Be Mad With My Heart", "Window Lady", "Why", "Carelessly", "Baby's Comin' Home To Me", "Let Me Explain"
