The Five Stars - Atom Bomb Baby

	Vol.X Ep.098 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: The Five Stars were a doo-wop formed in October 1956 after three friends (Russell, Campbell, and Hoffman) experimented with harmonizing with the car radio. Campbell invited fellow madrigal singer Jimmy Bruhn as the first tenor and Russell invited Ron Bunyard as bass. Bunyard would only perform with the group, dubbed "The Emeralds" for three months and was replaced by another of Campbell's fellow madrigal singer, Bruce Miller. They appeared on a local central Indiana television show hosted by Boyd Bennett and his band, the Rockets. Bennett introduced them to his producer John F. Young, writer of "Atom Bomb Baby", a song that rode the incoming tide of interest for the Atomic Age. Young would also change their name to "The Five Stars", citing that "The Emeralds" was already used by other bands. Ironically, they realized later that other groups had also performed under the name as "The Five Stars". "Atom Bomb Baby" with "You Sweet Little Thing" as the B-Side would become The Five Stars' first record. The group experienced a renewed interest after "Atom Bomb Baby" was featured in a 1982 documentary film, The Atomic Cafe, detailing a modern retrospective at the culture behind the Atomic Age and the Cold War.
