One of the best recordings of the doo wop period was “Happy, Happy Birthday Baby“ which was written by Margo Sylvia & Gilbert Lopez, members of The Tune Weavers, who recorded it in March 1957. Originally released by Casa Grande Records, it was unsuccessful until Chess Records bought the distribution rights and released it on its Checker subsidiary label. The single reached number four on the R&B chart and number five on the Billboard Hot 100. The lead vocal was performed by Margo Sylvia with back up by Margo's husband John Sylvia, her brother Gilbert J. Lopez, and cousin Charlotte Davis.
