The Mystics

The Mystics, an American rock'n'roll group, originated in Brooklyn, New York, United States, in the late 1950s. The original line-up consisted of Phil Cracolici, Albee Cracolici, George Galfo, Bob Ferrante, and Al Contrera. Initially known as The Overons, they signed to Laurie Records and recorded their first songs, "Adam and Eve" and "Wimoweh". Their breakthrough came with the release of "Hushabye", which reached number 20 on the national chart in May 1959. Following this success, they released "Don't Take the Stars", another hit single. The group experienced several line-up re-shuffles, adding notable new singers, Paul Simon and then John "Jay" Traynor. In mid-1961, The Mystics stopped recording and performing. They reunited in 1969 during the nostalgia boom and continued to perform on the rock'n'roll revival circuit. In March 2015, the original five members were inducted into the Doo Wop Music Hall of Fame.
