The Chords was a 1950s American doo wop group, whose lone hit was "Sh-Boom". They were often cited as the first R&B group of the 1950s to reach the pop charts
Carl (lead) and Claude Feaster (baritone), Jimmy Keyes (first tenor), Floyd "Buddy" McRae (second tenor) and Ricky Edwards (bass) - formed in 1951 in the Bronx, New York, but were not discovered until three years later, when they were spotted singing in a subway station, a performance that ultimately landed them a recording contract with Atlantic Records' Cat Records label.
