The Playmates were a Pop vocal trio from Waterbury, Connecticut: Donny Conn (born on 3/29/1930), Morey Carr (born on 7/31/1932) and Chic Hetti (born on 2/26/1930). They originally called themselves The Nitwits and played together for five years before signing with Roulette Records. Throughout their recording time with Roulette, they were predominately a novelty song act with their biggest hit being Beep Beep.
