rdf:langString The Elegants was an American doo-wop vocal group, that started in 1958 by Vito Picone, Arthur Venosa, Frank Tardogno, Carman Romano and James Moschello in South Beach, Staten Island, New York. Before their nursery rhyme inspired song, "Little Star", became a number one hit, the band usually performed informally under the boardwalk by their homes. "Little Star" was the only million seller for the group, and was written by Venosa and Picone.It spent 19 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100, earning gold disc status. The song reached number 25 in the UK Singles Chart in September 1958. After their success with "Little Star", the band, still in their teens, toured with artists such as Buddy Holly, Dion and the Belmonts, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. However, none of their subsequent singles reached the charts at all, making them an example of one-hit wonders. In early 1970s, lead singer Vito Picone returned to the group, replacing Tardogno as the lead singer. The group can be seen annually performing at the San Gennaro Festival, in Little Italy, Manhattan, New York City. According to the group's website, Freddie Redmond died of emphysema in 2006, and was replaced by original member, James Moschella. Moschella had performed with The Charts in the 1980s. As of 2012, the Elegants were still performing at concerts and events throughout the United States, under the name "Vito Picone & The Elegants. Band members include Joe Lucenti on lead guitar, Alex "Al Bal" Leonard and Mark Garni on keyboards, Mike Catalano and Pete Gamby on electric bass, with Vinny Cognato and Sal Albanese on drums. Carman Romano (born on August 17, 1938) died on August 2, 2016, at the age of 77. Original member Artie Venosa died on April 20, 2018.

Voordat het op een kinderversje geïnspireerde nummer "Little Star" op nummer 1 kwam te staan, trad de groep gewoonlijk en op informele wijze op onder de plankieren bij hun huis. Toen Little Star de radio begon te domineren, toerde de tienergroep mee met Buddy Holly, Dion and the Belmonts, Chuck Berry en Jerry Lee Lewis. Maar hoe dan ook, het succes dat ze hadden met Little Star werd nooit meer bereikt en uiteindelijk ging de groep uiteen. In de late jaren van 1960 herstartte Vito Picone de groep, maar deze keer met drie nieuwe zangers: Fred Redmond, Nino Amato en Bruce Copp. De kern van deze groep is nog steeds bij elkaar en toert nog steeds door het land. Ze treden ieder jaar op het festival in Little Italy (Manhattan) op.
