The group may have done better if they had the name Crew Cuts sooner, since they did not have that group name to start with.
Another hit was a cover version of THE PENGUINS Earth Angel which rose
to the number 2 spot on the chart in Canada & had great success in England & Australia.
It peaked higher on the pop charts then THE PENGUINS version.
Crew Cuts took Earth Angel to number 3 on the pop charts in U.S.A.
Crew Cuts took their version of Earth Angel on to the British charts,the original version by THE PENGUINS was unable to achieve that.
The Crew Cuts are more popular in Canada for there non-cover hit songs.
In 1990 the Crew Cuts were inducted in the Juno hall of Fame.
There biggest hits were in 1954 and 1955
