Known originally as The Creators, the group formed in 1964 in Bayonne with Hugh Harris, Danny Austin, Dave Watt, Norman Donegan and Mary Ann Thomas. "The Boy from New York City" was released in December 1964; and by March 1965 had peaked at number 8 on the US Hot 100. The group next recorded "He Ain't No Angel" which reached number 100 in 1965. The next two singles failed to chart, and The Ad Libs' contract was not renewed by Red Bird Records company. In 1969, they had a last R&B chart hit with the song "Giving Up", which peaked at number 34 on the US Billboard R&B chart. They continued to record into the early 1980s, but never repeated the success of "The Boy from New York City". "The Boy from New York City" charted again in the UK for Darts in 1978 and in the US for The Manhattan Transfer in 1981. The song has been used in a commercial for Everybody Hates Chris on the Paramount Comedy channel in the UK. Dave Watt died on December 5, 2008.

Em 1969 eles tiveram uma última canção nas tabelas musicais, "Giving Up", que chegou a 34ª colocação na Billboard R&B dos Estados Unidos. Eles continuaram a gravar na década de 1980, mas nunca repetiram o sucesso de "The Boy from New York City". "The Boy from New York City" alcançou boas colocações novamente, no Reino Unido pelos Darts, em 1978, e nos Estados Unidos pelo The Manhattan Transfer, em 1981.
