The 4 Chaps Biography

A quartet similar to Bill Haley and His Comets, signed to Rama in early 1956, where they covered Chuck Berry’s “Roll Over Beethoven” contemporary with Berry’s own Chess Records release. Needless to say, the songwriter won this match-up — no surprise given the dorky “do-wop do-wop do-wop” backing chorus and the Four Neat Guys-type vocals. The 4 Chaps disappeared soon after their thrust at immortality.
