The Ran-Dells

The Ran-Dells

The Ran-Dells were an American musical ensemble from Villas, New Jersey. In 1963 their song "Martian Hop" peaked at #27 on the black singles chart, and at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Despite releasing two great-follow-ups, lack of record label support made them one-hit wonders.
