Brian Hyland is an American pop singer and instrumentalist, best known for his novelty teen pop hits in the early 1960s. His style blends elements of pop, rock and roll, and folk, with his most famous song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" defining his early career. Hyland's later works, such as the hit "Sealed with a Kiss", were characterized by a more mature, folk-infused sound. His contribution to the pop genre during the transitional period between rock and roll and the British Invasion holds a significant place in music history.
