The Chantels

~ Release by The Chantels (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

This album was originally released as We Are the Chantels, with an image of the five-member group on the cover; such were the racial sensitivities of the time, however, that it was withdrawn and reissued in 1959 with the same catalog number and the title The Chantels, packaged in a more innocuous cover depicting two white teenagers standing next to a jukebox.
