The Monotones

The Monotones were a six-member African American doo-wop vocal group in the 1950s. They are considered a one-hit wonder, as their only hit single was "The Book of Love", which peaked at #5 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1958.
The Monotones formed in 1955 when the seven original singers — all residents of the Baxter Terrace housing project in Newark, New Jersey — began performing covers of popular songs. The members of the Monotones were:

lead singer Charles Patrick (born September 11, 1938)
first tenor Warren Davis (born March 1, 1939)
second tenor George Malone (January 5, 1940 – October 5, 2007)
bass singer John Smith (born May 13, 1938)
second bass singer John Ryanes (November 16, 1940 – May 30, 1972)
his brother, baritone Warren Ryanes (December 14, 1937 – June 16, 1982)
