Complete your The Ad Libs collection.

The Ad Libs were an American vocal group from Bayonne, New Jersey, United States, primarily active during the early 1960s. Featuring their characteristic female lead vocals with male "doo-wop" backing, their 1965 single "The Boy from New York City", written by George Davis and John T. Taylor, was their only Billboard Hot 100 hit. 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 Ad Libs were a vocal group from Bayonne, New Jersey in the early 1960s whose female lead vocals and male backing influenced the doo-wop singing style of many later groups. Their 1965 single "The Boy From New York City", written by George Davis & John T. Taylor, was their only hit. Originally ‘The Creators’, the group formed in 1964 in Bayonne with Hugh Harris, Danny Austin, Dave Watt, Norman Donegan and Mary Ann Thomas.

The Ad Libs took their doo wop background and threw in some mid-‘60s Brill Building pop, elements of the popular girl groups sound and some Motown horns. They came along just at the tail end of the New York-driven pop scene which, in 1965, didn’t realize that it was about to be overwhelmed and overcome by the tsunami of cultural and musical upheavals of the mid-to-late ‘60s. Naturally, The Boy from New York City starts off the album with its catchy street corner vocal harmonizing with a Mary Ann Thomas’ arresting litany of infatuation with irresistible backing yeah yeah -s and short sax hits that allow the song to coast by on its tale of aspirational romance written by John Taylor while staring at the New York skyline from across.

The Ad Libs only ever scored one smash hit, the bounding "The Boy from New York City," but their jazz-inflected songwriting style was unique enough to set them somewhat apart from the droves of post-doo wop R&B bands popping up in the early '60s. The Complete Blue Cat Recordings is another extensive "from the vaults"-style collection from reissue label Real Gone Music, exhaustively combing the archives to unearth a wealth of rarities from this mostly uncelebrated group. The Ad Libs were lesser players in their era, and parts of this collection speak to their unorganized scramble for another hit. The never-issued track "The Slime" (potentially a new gutter-inspired dance craze?) is particularly suspect, if amusing in hindsight. Even though the multiple versions and repeated songs get a little repetitive, this collection works more as a completist's anthology than a best-of package.
