What did the rock n roll group the bosstones sing?

Answer 1

The Bosstones were an African American musical group in the 1950s who performed in the instrumentally-sparse, a cappella-based harmonic style known as "Philadelphia doo-wop."

After their existence was called to the attention of the Boston-based skacore band of the same name decades later, that group changed its name to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. As this earlier use of the name is not well-known, contemporary references to "The Bosstones" generally refer to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones rather than the group discussed in this article.

The best-known song by the Bosstones is "Mope-Itty Mope" which was released as a 45 rpm single in 1959. In describing one of the many compilation CDs on which this song appears, All Music Guide writes:

it's a treat to have access to songs by...the Bosstones [and other groups] that received regional attention but never achieved the national success initially hoped for.

The b-side of "Mope-ity" was a song called "Wings on an Angel".

In the mid-1980s, there was also an a-capella group of local Boston college kids who called themselves "the Bosstones." They mainly performed covers at coffee houses and local shows.
