The Chaperones 1959-2023

The Chaperones® U.S. Trade Mark Registration #1517808

The Original Chaperones began in 1957. I am proud to say, The Chaperones were one of first Street Corner Harmony singing groups in America.

We began at a time when Rock n’ Roll was new and exciting.  When Dion and the Belmont’s were the number one group in the world and the Doo Wop Genre’ was the sound of the day. I remember it like it was yesterday. We worked with some of the great groups and singers in many different Rock n’ Roll shows like, Murray The K Show, The Clay Cole Show, The Cousin Brucie Show and The Dick Clark Show, We worked with The Heartbeats, Franky Lyman and the Teenagers, The Elegants, Bobby Darrin, Freddy Cannon, The Mystics, Larry Chance and the Earls, Little Anthony and The Imperials, The Dupree’s, Speedo and The Cadillac’s, The Coasters, The Drifters and so many more fabulous performers.

This Original Chaperones website is dedicated to all the singers and players that have worked with the Chaperones throughout the years and the memories we all have in our hearts. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for visiting!
