Phil Spector might just be famous as only a producer, but out of high school, he performed in his own band The Teddy Bears. The Teddy Bears and Spector broke out with an out-of-nowhere #1 hit single "To Know Him, Is to Love Him" in 1958. The recording featured Spector (guitar, backup vocals), Marshall Lieb (backup vocals), Harvey Goldstein (who would soon leave the band), and Sandy Nelson (drums) performing behind the lead vocals of Annette Kleinbard. The band released a couple more singles and an album, but they ended up being just a one-hit wonder and broke up by the end of 1959.
Here is the discography surrounding The Teddy Bears's debut album:
