Dante and the Evergreens were an American rock and roll band that emerged in the late 1950s. Known for their signature doo-wop sound, their most significant work is arguably their cover of "Alley Oop," which reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. The band was led by Donald Drowty (Dante), whose distinctive vocals were a key component of their style. Despite their limited discography, Dante and the Evergreens were an integral part of the early rock and roll movement, showcasing the fusion of rhythm and blues with pop music of the era.
