The Ad Libs are a black Doo-wop group from Bayonne, NJ. The band was formed in the Mid-50's and was originally named the Arabians, consisting of Hugh Harris, Danny Austin, John Alan, David Watt, Jr., and James Wright. They later changed their name to The Creators and made three singles under that name. Watts left for the army and was replaced by Chris Coles. In 1964 Watts returned and Norman Donegan and Mary Ann Thomas, who became the lead singer, joined the group. In late 1964 the group released their mega-hit "The Boy From New York City". After that the band members changed many times over the years and now The Ad Libs are no longer a group. Many of the members, including Mary Ann Thomas, have passed on.
Other Ad Libs hit songs include: "I'll Never Never Do It Again", "Yeah, He's Got It", "I Stayed Home (New Years Ever)", "He Ain't No Angel", "Human", "New York In The Dark", "Every Boy And Girl", "Giving Up", "I Don't Need A Fortune Teller", "Johnny Boy", "Oo Wee, Oo Gee", "The Slime", "Ask Anybody", "Kicked Around", "Appreciation", "Johnny My Boy", "The Dream That Never Came True", "Nothing's Worse Than Being Alone", "You Blew My Mind", "Bottom Of My Soul", "Charleston Dolly", "Ask Anybody", Oo-Wee Oh Me Oh My", "Think Of Me", and "If She Wants Him".
