The Astors were an American soul music group from the mid-1960s that originated from Memphis, Tennessee. They were best known for their work with the legendary Stax Records, where they produced a handful of well-received singles, including their biggest hit, "Candy." The band's music is distinctive for its fusion of rhythm and blues with a pop sensibility, a style that was quite influential during the era of its existence. Despite their relatively short-lived career, The Astors' contributions to the Stax catalog and to the broader soul music genre are notable.
