The Islanders (U.S. band)
- The Islanders (U.S. band)
The Islanders were an U.S. group which included Frank Metis (accordion)and Randy Starr (guitar), in addition to using special sound effects by Ralph F. Curtiss. They are most noted for their 1959 hit single, "The Enchanted Sea", which reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
None of their subsequent singles for Mayflower were successful. An LP "The Enchanted Sound of The Islanders" was released by Mayflower Records in 1960, but it has not yet been re-issued as a CD.
Randy Starr, whose original name was Warren Nadel, was a guitar-playing, songwriting dentist from the Bronx. He also performed as a solo singer for a number of record labels, as well as penning songs for other artists, including "Kissin' Cousins" with Fred Wise, for Elvis Presley.
