The Exciters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Exciters were an American pop music group of the 1960s. They were originally a girl group, although a male member was added later. The group consisted of lead singer Brenda Reid, her husband Herb Rooney, Carolyn Johnson and Lillian Walker.
The Exciters' first hit, produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, was "Tell Him" (US #4) in late 1962. Other songs included "He's Got the Power," "Get Him," and the original Do Wah Diddy Diddy, covered shortly after its appearance by Manfred Mann, for whom it was an international hit.
