America’s Little Darlins Fun! That was the way one fan described the  Diamonds. And who could argue? After listening to  "Little Darlin'" for the first time, it was a foregone  conclusion. It was only a little over two minutes  long, but it was fun. This fabulous foursome of the  fifties had hits such as "Little Darlin", "The Stroll",  and "Why Do Fools Fall In Love". These were only  three of 16 hits on the Billboard Charts. Countless  television shows and concerts, guest staring in a  movie and singing the theme song for two others,  and beng inducted in several Halls of Fame. All this  insured their place in the history of early rock and  roll, and endeared themselves to the hearts of their  fans. Were they fun? You bet they were!  - Barry  Worrell This site is dedicated to Bill Reed, the original bass singer, who at  68, passed away October 22, 2004.  Bill's smooth bass voice was  the foundation of The Diamonds and was instrumental in  establishing their signature sound.  We are saddened at his loss, but rejoice in the privilege of hearing him sing.   This is a fan site of the "Original" Diamonds Singing Group of the 1950s.  Information contained in this website, is the version of events as related to me by original members: Phil Levitt, Ted Kowalski, Bill Reed and Dave Somerville. Note:  The bulk of the Diamonds' success came from their work in the United States, but they were one of many fine groups and artists that came from Canada.
