The Elegants are a doo-wop vocal group that emerged from Staten Island, New York, in the late 1950s. Their harmonious style and rhythm-and-blues influenced pop sound were characteristic of the doo-wop genre. The group is primarily known for their hit single "Little Star", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958, contributing significantly to the popularity of doo-wop during this era. Despite numerous lineup changes, original member Vito Picone has remained a constant presence, serving as an emblem of the group's enduring legacy in music history.
