The Viscounts

Their are two bands The Viscounts, both performing half sixties. One of them British (Mercybeat) and one of them American (Surf) 1: The Viscounts were a British pop group from London. Its members had formerly been part of a TV ensemble called Morton Fraser's Harmonica Gang. They quit the group and formed The Viscounts in Late April 1958, playing local shows and eventually attracting the attention of manager Larry Parnes. He got them billed to better venues and signed them to Pye Records in 1960.
