- The Silhouettes was a black R&B group that formed in Philadelphia, PA, in the mid-1950s, consisting of Bill Horton, Earl Beal, Raymond Edwards and Richard Lewis. They hit the #1 spot on the pop and R&B charts in 1958 with the amusing and catchy "Get a Job", written by the group's members. It became a "doo-wop" classic and has been used in countless soundtracks of films about the period, such as American Graffiti (1973) and Stand by Me (1986). The tribute group Sha-Na-Na took its name from the backup refrain that runs throughout the song.
