Who was Larry Chance?

Larry was an American musician best known as the main singer of the 1960s doo-wop group Larry Chance and the Earls, formerly The Earls. Larry Figueiredo was born in 1940 in the vibrant city of Philadelphia, and his early steps into the world of music were heavily influenced by his environment.

Growing up in a place with a rich musical heritage, Larry’s love of music became clear from an early age. The rhythms of gospel, jazz, and the developing doo-wop flooded the streets of Philadelphia. His musical inclinations were significantly shaped by this environment.

The Doo-Wop Sensation is Larry Chance and the Earls. Larry and the Earls, a doo-wop group that would soon rule the world, first appeared in the late 1950s. The trio rapidly developed a sizable fan base thanks to their mellow tunes and soulful performances.

Larry started The Hi-Hatters when he first moved to the Bronx in New York. The Earls were eventually given a new name, and Figueiredo adopted the surname Chance to honor the record company.

The Earls’ track “Remember Then” became a top 10 smash in the country in 1962. Other songs made their way onto the charts, such as “I Believe,” regarded as an East Coast classic, and “Never,” which peaked at number 10 on the local New York charts.

Some such recordings include “Looking For My Baby” and “Kissing”. Albums include “Remember Me Baby”, “The Earls: Today”, “The Earls – LIVE”, “Earl Change”, and “Streets of the Bronx”.
