The Delacardos were an American doo-wop group active in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Known for their harmonious style and heartfelt lyrics, they played a significant role in the development of the doo-wop genre. The group was comprised of six members, with Albert "Diz" Russell being the most notable due to his later association with The Orioles, another influential doo-wop group. Their most popular song, "Hold Back the Tears," showcases their signature sound of smooth, blended vocals over a rhythmic beat.
