The Flares were an American rhythm and blues vocal group, known for their unique blend of doo-wop and early rock 'n' roll. Their most famous single, "Foot Stomping - Part 1," released in 1961, exemplified their signature sound of tight vocal harmonies, driving rhythms, and a prominent saxophone line. The group, which included notable members like George Hollis and Dewey Terry, made a significant contribution to the evolution of popular music in the early 1960s, although their career was relatively short-lived. Despite their brief time together, The Flares' influence can be seen in the work of many subsequent R&B and rock artists.
