The Crew-Cuts (sometimes spelled Crew Cuts or Crewcuts) were a Canadian vocal and doowop quartet, that made a number of popular records that charted in the United States and worldwide.[2] They named themselves after the then popular crew cut haircut, one of the first connections made between pop music and hairstyle.[citation needed] They were most famous for their recording of The Chords' hit record, "Sh-Boom".[3]
