The Chevrons were a United States pop group who recorded the hit record "Lullabye" in 1960. The band featured Terry Cashman.
The Chevrons formed in Washington Heights, Manhattan in New York City in 1959 and disbanded in 1961. The group consisted of lead singer Dennis Minogue (Cashman), first tenor Frank Williams, second tenor Marty Trautman, baritone Gary Giordan, and bass, Al Conde. Conde was formerly a member of Nicky and the Nobles, who recorded "School Bells" for George Goldner's Gone record label.
The Chevrons' first recording on Bob Shad's Brent label was "That Comes With Love" b/w "Day After Forever", followed by "Lullabye" b/w "Don't Be Heartless". The success of "Lullabye" landed them an appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. "Lullabye" was followed by an album on Time Records called Sing-Along Rock N' Roll, which consisted of covers of twenty-four hit songs arranged in sing-a-long format. Several songs - including Little Star, Come Go With Me, and Little Darlin' - were released off the album as singles.
When The Chevrons disbanded, Conde went on to form another group called The Holidays, recording two songs he had written for the group,"New Orleans" and "Life" on the Sabina label, owned and produced by Dion and the Belmonts.
In 1967, Dennis Minogue (now Terry Cashman) teamed up with Gene Pistilli and Tommy West to form the pop-folk group Cashman, Pistilli and West. Their successful debut album, Bound to Happen (1967) included the Cashman and Pistilli composition "Sunday Will Never Be the Same", a summer 1967 hit for Spanky and Our Gang.
Cashman and West later recorded the album Tale of Two Cities (American City Suite) on Dunhill records, and produced several hits for Jim Croce.
Terry Cashman later achieved celebrity writing and recording baseball songs, notably "Talkin' Baseball".
The Chevrons reunited in 1989, and appeared on the Don K. Reed Show on WCBS-FM. In 1999, The Wop Ding A Ling collection of New York doo-wop from the late '50s and '60s included "Lullabye" and "Don't Be Heartless".
