Biography
The Bosstones were an African American musical group in the 1950s who performed in the instrumentally-sparse, a cappella-based harmonic style known as "Philadelphia doo-wop."
The best-known song by the Bosstones is "Mope-Itty Mope" which was released as a 45 rpm single in 1959. In describing one of the many compilation CDs on which this song appears, Allmusic writes:
it's a treat to have access to songs by…the Bosstones that received regional attention but never achieved the national success initially hoped for.
The b-side of "Mope-ity" was a song called "Wings of an Angel".
