performed without the group with which they became famous or well-known,
such as Drifters, Tokens, Platters, etc. The first column is the group
they used to perform with, followed by listings on this site that may
or might include them. (This'll work out as things progress, I hope).

Hi,
Thanks for signing the Cantamus Girls Choir guestbook. Although "Little
Drummer Boy" is a regular number performed by the choir, usually
at Christmas, there is no actual recording in existence. Sorry!
Good luck with cataloguing every version in the universe!
