The Orlons hit with noisy, fun sounding, dance songs. Shirley Brickley, Rosetta Hightower, Marlena Davis and Stephen Caldwell (the lone male), formed the Orlons in their hometown of Phildelphia, at Overbrook High School. Like most Cameo parkway artists, the Orlons became typecast to a particular sound. "I'll Be True," their first recording, flopped although it was a message from a girl to her G.I. boyfriend. So did a follow up ballad which didn't make this compilation. Cameo Records rethought the marketing of the Orlons and shelved the ballads as A-sides. Their third release, "The Wah Watusi," a rockish, dance ditty soared to #2 Pop; prior to the success of "Watusi," they scored with Dee Dee Sharp by providing the backing on her #2 Pop, and #1 R&B hit, "Mashed Potato Time." The Orlons were blazing, so Cameo released Biggest Hits after their three bigger than life recordings. "Don't Hang Up" features Caldwell's growling bass on some humorous fills on an up-tempo rocker that did surprisingly well on the R&B chart, settling at #3, while nesting at #4 Pop. The formula continues with "South Street," another monster that went to #3 Pop and #4 R&B, and contained the same runaway rhythms and vocals on their previous smashes. While the Orlons scored with fast numbers, they excelled on ballads and mid-tempo R&B numbers. Two good examples are "Dedicated to the One I Love" and "Something's Got a Hold on Me."
