After the success of their hit single, "Long Lonely Nights" Lee Andrews & the Hearts had their second big doo wop hit - "Tear Drops" written by Roy Calhoun, Barry Golder, Edwin Charles, Helen Stanley in 1958. Released on the Chess label, it reached #20 on the Billboard Pop and #4 on the Billboard R&B charts. The group consisted of Lee Andrews (lead), Roy Calhoun (first tenor), Tammey Currey (bass) (second tenor), Ted Weems (baritone), and Wendell Calhoun (bass). The song can be found on the Lee Andrews & The Hearts For Collectors Only 3 CD box set on the Collectables label. I do not own the right to the song, audio, or images contained in this video.
