abstract
  • Blue-eyed soul vocalist Len Barry paced several hits of the early '60s, both as a member of Dovells and as a solo act. Born in Philadelphia in 1942, he debuted on wax as the vocalist for the 1958 single %22Mope-Itty Mope,%22 as recorded by the Boss-Tones. He formed the group that became Dovells in 1957, and sang along on their Top Ten hits %22The Bristol Stomp%22 and %22You Can't Sit Down.%22 Barry quit the group in late 1963 though, and soon signed with Decca as a solo act. The single %221-2-3%22 became a big hit in 1965, and just missed topping the charts. Amidst quickly changing times, however, Barry hit the Top 40 just twice more, with the early 1966 follow-ups %22Like a Baby%22 and %22Somewhere%22 (the latter from West Side Story). He continued performing his entertaining stage act, and later moved into production as well.
