Len Barry
Len Barry was a high school basketball star with the looks of a matinee idol, a sweet tenor voice and a deep appreciation for classic R&B, but for all that, Len Barry was a reluctant pop star. He joined the Philadelphia vocal group The Dovells, who had a hit in 1961 with “The Bristol Stomp.” Barry would go on to score one more top ten hit with The Dovells before launching a solo career that peaked with his 1965 song “1-2-3,” which reached #2 on the Billboard charts. Len Barry never sought the spotlight but it always seemed to find him.
