In 1969, Jon Bauman joined several of his Columbia classmates in "Sha Na Na" and created the character of "Bowzer". With Bowzer the dominant character on stage, Jon was a major force in leading the group into a successful TV series. At its peak, "Sha Na Na" was the #1 syndicated show in America, and was also seen in 32 foreign countries.

From 1962 to 1970, Gene Chandler put half a dozen songs in the top forty, but he will always be best known for the "Duke Of Earl, which topped the pop and R&B charts in 1962 and launched his career.

The Crystals are considered one of the defining acts of the girl group era of the early 1960s. Their 1961-1964 chart hits, included "He's A Rebel", "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Then He Kissed Me".
