The Cues were an American rhythm and blues vocal group that emerged in the mid-1950s. The group, consisting of members Ollie Jones, Abel DeCosta, Robie Kirk, and Eddie Barnes, is most known for their work as session singers for Atlantic Records, backing up notable artists like Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker. Their own singles, such as "Why" and "Burn That Candle," showcased their tight harmonies and rhythm-driven style. Despite their lack of commercial success as a standalone act, The Cues played a significant role in shaping the sound of 1950s rhythm and blues music.
