The Rays
- The Rays was an American group formed in New York in 1955, and active in the 1950s. They first recorded for Chess Records. Their biggest hit single was "Silhouettes," a moderately-slow doo wop piece of pop music that reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1957, released on XYZ Records (and picked up by Cameo Records for national distribution). The song was written by Bob Crewe and Frank Slay, Jr. Also on XYZ, they had a minor hit with "Magic Moon".
- This song was later released in a slightly faster cover version by Herman's Hermits in the mid 1960s. "Silhouettes" was also covered by Bob Dylan, but still unreleased, from his Basement Tapes sessions in the late 1960s.
