The Dovells
The Dovells were an American music group, formed at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1957, under the name 'The Brooktones'. The members were Arnie Silver, Mark Gordesky, Len Borisoff, Jerry Gross, Mike Freda and Jim Mealey (alias Danny Brooks). Their first single was "No, No, No", which was a minor local hit for The Brooktones, who soon broke up. Summers and Dennis left the group, forming The Gems with Mark Stevens and Alan Horowitz in 1960. The remaining Brooktones signed to the Chancellor record label and added Jerry Serlen and William Shunkwiler to the group, while changing the band's name to The Dovells.
Their first hit was "Bristol Stomp", a dance song followed by the similar hit "Do the New Continental". "Bristol Stomp" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. They appeared performing both songs in the Chubby Checker movie Don't Knock The Twist in 1961. They released a series of singles over the next few years. These included "You Can't Sit Down", a #3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. Len Borisoff left in 1965 for a solo career under the name Len Barry. The high point of his solo career was "1-2-3" in 1965.

You can't sit down
Two people in the world
Stop monkeyin' aroun'
Why do fools fall in love
Short fat Fannie
Stompin' everywhere
Trickle trickle
Your last chance
Mope-itty mope stomp
To make a long story short
Three coins in the fountain
There goes my baby
Windwood days
Oh what a night
Save me baby
36-22-36
No no no
One potatoe
Summer job
Watusi with Lucy
You can't run away from yourself
Why not you
Out in the cold again
Stop, look and listen
What in the world's come over you
