The Halos

The Halos

The Halos were an American doo wop group from The Bronx.

The group formed with members Al Cleveland, J.R. Bailey, Harold Johnson, and Arthur Crier (bass). Phil Johnson replaced J.R. Bailey shortly after the recording of "Nag". (Bailey later joined The Cadillacs).

The group got its start as session musicians, backing up vocalists recorded by producer Morty Craft. Their first single, "L-O-V-E", was released in 1960 under the name The Craftys. Their second release, "Nag", became a hit, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961.

Member Arthur Crier's son, Sabu Crier, was later a member of GQ, and his grandson is Keith Sweat. [ [http://wm07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wpfoxqe5ldke~T1 The Halos] at Allmusic.com]
