301 The Capris “There’s a Moon Out Tonight” 1958

Based in Queens, N.Y., not to be confused with same-named groups formed in the mid and early fifties from Philadelphia and San Diego. “’There’s a Moon Out Tonight’ was released in 1958 on Planet, but the group disbanded shortly thereafter as a result of poor sales. Mike (Mincelli) got married, Nick (Santamaria) enlisted in the service, and the Capris were gone.” The song was rereleased in 1960 and 1961 and became a hit (Encyclopedia of Rhythm & Blues and Doo-Wop Vocal Groups, 2000).
