The Rivingtons, whose pedigree stretches back into the doo-wop era, secured a place in music history when their first 45 was a US top 50 hit in the summer of 1962, and the insistently catchy lyrics of 'Papa Oom Mow Mow' turned every listener into a sing-a-long bass voice. The group went on to capture the dance-craze market with 1963 hit 'The Bird Is the Word', and those two songs were merged as a medley in `Surfin' Bird' by The Trashmen later that year to reach the US top 10, later being used as incidental music in the war movie 'Full Metal Jacket'.
The Rivingtons were, however, more than just a rock'n'roll novelty group, and at the dawn of the soul era recorded some superb ballads, of which 'I'm Losing My Grip' and 'Deep Water' have until now been hard-to-find gems.
