The Elegants-Little Star

Billboard 雜誌Hot 100排行榜第一首由合唱團唱的冠軍歌曲是The Elegants的"Little Star"，這一首歌也是繼Ricky Nelson的"Poor Little Fool"與Domenico Modugno的"Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volaré)"之後Hot 100的第三首冠軍曲。

The Elegants是白人組成的doo-wop合唱團，來自紐約Staten Island的主唱Vito Picone與男中音Carmen Romano原來於1956年加入the Crescents合唱團，但一年後該團解散，他倆於是另組The Elegants合唱團。

The Elegants團名來自一個威士忌廣告標語"liquor of elegance"，Vito與新團員Artie又從莫札特的"Twinkle, Twinkle , Little Star "得到靈感寫了"Little Star"這一首歌。

"Little Star"這一首歌於1958年七月28日進排行榜，一個月後得到排行榜冠軍，他們在全美各地媒體上節目，包括當年還是美國屬地的夏威夷，頻繁的旅行演唱帶給他們傷害，The Elegants沒有再回過Hot 100排行榜。

儘管他們仿"Little Star"的味道錄過很多歌，但是完全無效，後來有二名團員去當兵，一名團員結婚而去，Vito因車禍臥床半年，1962年The Elegants終於宣告解散。

The Elegants是僅有一首暢銷曲的合唱團（One Hit Wonder），很特別的是他們這一首暢銷曲還是一首冠軍曲。
