Acclaimed pop and doo wop acts will take the stage for "An Evening of Pop and Doo Wop" at the Suncoast Showroom August 23 and 24.

Jay Seigel's Tokens are best known for their doo wop hits, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Tonight I Fell in Love."

Later productions include Tony Orlando and Dawn, The Happenings, Randy and The Rainbows, and Robert John. In addition to their contributions to pop music, members of the group have worked on advertising jingles for Clairol, General Foods, Wrigley's gum, Sunkist, Wendy's and more.

Best known for the 1962 single "Peppermint Twist," which hit #1 on the U.S. charts and was awarded a gold disc by Dick Clark of American Bandstand, Joey Dee and the Starliters have become a staple in the rock, rhythm and doo wop genres. Additionally, Joey Dee and The Starliters filmed the movie "Hey, Let's Twist," which showcased singles including "Shout - Part I;" a track that reached #6 on the U.S. charts, sold over one million copies, and earned the group their second gold disc. Members include Joey Dee, Dave Brigati, Ronnie Dee and Jamie Lee.

Female rock 'n' roll group The Angels are widely known for their 1963 #1 hit single "My Boyfriend's Back." Additional chart topping hits include "'Til" and "Cry Baby Cry."
