<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geschichte">Geschichte</h2></div>
<p>In den späten 1950er Jahren sangen die Junior-Highschool-Mädchen Rosetta Hightower und Marlena Davis zusammen mit drei Schwestern namens Brickley unter dem Namen Audrey and the Teenettes (Audrey war eine der drei Brickleys). Aus dem Quintett wurde bald ein Trio, nachdem Audrey und ihre Schwester Jean auf Geheiß der Mutter wegen ihres jungen Alters nicht mehr in Nachtclubs auftreten durften. Nachdem die drei Übriggebliebenen 1960 in die Highschool gewechselt waren, stieß der Student Stephen Caldwell, bisher Frontsänger der Gesangsgruppe The Romeos, zu dem Trio. Die Vier nannten sich fortan The Orlons. Mit dem Namen, der auch eine synthetische Textilfaser bezeichnete, grenzten sie sich gegen eine ebenfalls in ihrer Highschool musizierende Gruppe The Cashmeres ab.
</p><p><a href="Len_Barry" title="Len Barry">Len Barry</a>, Frontsänger der <a href="The_Dovells" title="The Dovells">Dovells</a> und Schulfreund der drei Sängerinnen, ermutigte die Gruppe, sich der seiner Plattenfirma <a href="Cameo-Parkway" title="Cameo-Parkway">Cameo-Parkway</a> vorzustellen. Im Ergebnis erhielten die Orlons beim Schwesterunternehmen Cameo einen Plattenvertrag, und im September 1961 wurde ihre erste <a href="Single_(Musik)" title="Single (Musik)">Single</a> veröffentlicht. Nachdem sie auch als Backgroundchor bei Aufnahmen mit anderen Sängern eingesetzt worden waren, z. B. bei <i>Mashed Potato Time</i> mit <a href="Dee_Dee_Sharp" title="Dee Dee Sharp">Dee Dee Sharp</a>, kamen die Orlons mit dem Titel ihrer dritten Single <i>The Wah-Watusi</i> zu ihrem ersten Plattenerfolg. In den <a href="Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Hot 100</a> des US-Musikmagazins <a href="Billboard_(Magazin)" title="Billboard (Magazin)">Billbord</a> kam <i>The Wah-Watusi</i> im Sommer 1962 auf den zweiten Platz, in der R&B-Hitliste wurde der Titel mit Rang fünf bewertet. Bis 1964 kamen die Orlons mit jeder ihrer Singles sowohl in die Hot 100 als auch in die R&B-Charts.
</p><p>Ab August 1963 kam es zu personellen Änderungen. Zunächst verließ Marlena Davis die Gruppe, sie wurde durch Sandy Person ersetzt. 1964 ging auch Stephen Caldwell fort, ihm folgte kurzfristig Yvonne Young, die bald von Audrey Brickley, der Schwester von Sherley, abgelöst wurde. Da die Orlons sich von ihrer Plattenfirma nicht mehr optimal betreut fühlten, wechselten sie 1966 für eine Singleproduktion zu dem kleinen Label Calla und danach zu <a href="ABC_Records" title="ABC Records">ABC Records</a>. Dort wurden jedoch auch nur zwei Singles veröffentlicht, ohne dass der Erfolg zurückkehrte. Da die meisten ihrer Schallplatten auch in Großbritannien veröffentlicht worden waren und sie mit dem Titel <i>Don’t Hang Up</i> 1962 auch in die Top 40 der britischen Charts gekommen waren, tourten die Orlons Ende der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er Jahre mit bescheidenem Erfolg über die Insel.
</p><p>Als Rosetta Hightower 1968 während der Englandtour die Gruppe verließ, um eine Solokarriere zu beginnen, lösten sich die Orlons auf. 1988 formten Stephen Caldwell und Marlena Davis mit zwei neuen Mitgliedern die Orlons noch einmal neu und traten in einer Reihe von Oldie-Konzerten auf. Als Davis 1993 starb, war es mit den Orlons endgültig zu Ende.
