Don Julian and the Meadowlarks were an American doo-wop group from the mid-1950s, known for their harmonious vocal arrangements and soulful melodies. Led by Don Julian, the group emerged from Los Angeles, California and left a significant mark on the West Coast rhythm and blues scene. They are perhaps most noted for their 1955 hit, "Heaven and Paradise," which helped shape the landscape of early rock 'n' roll. Despite numerous lineup changes, the group's distinctive sound and Julian's leadership had a lasting influence on the doo-wop genre.
