The Exciters
The Exciters were an American pop group formed in the early 1960s, best known for their energetic and catchy hit "Tell Him." The group originally consisted of lead singer Brenda Reid, her husband Herb Rooney, Carol Johnson, and Lillian Walker. "Tell Him" became a significant success, reaching the top of the charts in 1962 and becoming a quintessential example of the girl group sound of that era. The song's infectious melody and vibrant vocal performance captured the spirit of the early '60s pop scene.
After their initial success, The Exciters continued to release music and perform, although they never quite matched the impact of "Tell Him." They were known for their dynamic stage presence and harmonies, which kept them popular on the live circuit. Despite the changing musical landscape of the late 1960s, The Exciters' contributions to pop music have been recognized for their influence on future generations of artists, particularly in the development of the girl group genre and the broader pop and soul music movements.
