The Moonglows were an influential American R&B and doo wop group based in Cleveland, Ohio. The original group was "Bobby Lester" Dallas (1930-1980), Harvey Fuqua (b. 1929) (nephew of the Ink Spots' Charlie Fuqua), Alexander "Pete" Graves (b. 1930) and Prentiss Barnes (1925-2006), along with guitarist Billy Johnson. Originally known as The Crazy Sounds, they were renamed by Cleveland (and later New York) disc jockey Alan Freed, who was known on the air as "Moondog," and who decided to heavily promote the group (and who also took co-writer credits on some of their records).
