The Larks were an influential American rhythm and blues vocal group, active primarily in the early 1950s. Known for their tight harmonies and smooth delivery, they set the stage for the doo-wop style that would follow. Key members included lead singer Eugene Mumford and tenor Thermon Ruth, and their most notable song is perhaps "My Reverie". The Larks' contributions helped shape the sound of early rhythm and blues and their influence can still be seen in modern doo-wop and soul music.
