The Vacels were an American pop group primarily active during the 1960s. Known for their unique blend of rock and roll and doo-wop, the band achieved modest success in the northeastern United States. Notable band members included lead vocalist Tom Falcone and songwriter/producer Kenny Laguna, who would later work with Joan Jett. Despite their limited commercial success, The Vacels are historically significant for their contribution to the evolution of pop music in the mid-20th century.
