The Crew-Cuts were a Canadian vocal quartet, that made a number of popular records that charted in the United States and worldwide. They named themselves after the then popular crew cut haircut, one of the first connections made between pop music and hairstyle. They were most famous for their recording of The Chords' hit record, "Sh-Boom". The group members were Rudi Maugeri (né Rudolph Peter Maugeri; January 27, 1931 – May 7, 2004) (lead and baritone), John Perkins (born August 28, 1931) (lead and tenor), Ray Perkins (born November 24, 1932) (bass) (John Perkins' brother), and Pat Barrett (September 15, 1933 – July 27, 2016) (lead and tenor). They all had been members of the St. Michael's Choir School in Toronto.
