The Moonglows! These fellas were the real deal in the R&B scene, making waves and filling hearts with their smooth sounds. You might remember their hit "Sincerely," which climbed all the way to number one on the Billboard R&B chart and even hit number 20 on the Juke Box chart. That's what I call rhythm and soul magic!

Now, let’s talk about their incredible tune, "The Ten Commandments of Love." That song is pure gold! It features a lead singer, the sensational Harvey Fuqua, who pours his heart into the song. You also got a member who talks through the song, adding that spoken-word flair that makes you hang on every word. And don't forget those background singers! They create sweet harmonies.

Released as a single in 1958 on Chess Records, this classic turned into a major hit for both the R&B and pop charts. It just shows how The Moonglows knew how to blend their talents, bringing joy and love into the airwaves.

In 2000, their contributions to music earned them a well-deserved spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! So next time you're spinning some old records, make sure to give The Moonglows a listen—because their music is timeless.
