The Gainors were an early 1960s American R&B vocal group hailing from Philadelphia. The band was notable for featuring the talents of Garnet Mimms, who would later achieve fame as a solo artist. Their music was characterized by harmonious vocal arrangements typical of the doo-wop era, infused with early elements of soul. Although they did not achieve significant commercial success, their influence is seen in the evolution of soul music and the Philadelphia sound.
