The Moments and Whatnauts were two distinct American soul and R&B groups that achieved notable success in the 1970s. The Moments, known for their harmonious ballads, and the funk-oriented Whatnauts, both originated from the East Coast, specifically New Jersey and Baltimore respectively. They are best remembered for their collaborative single "Girls", a UK number three hit in 1975. Despite their separate identities, their combined influence contributed to the evolution of soul and R&B music in the 70s era.
