Originally consisting of eight members, the Pied Pipers had their greatest success after nearly half of the members left the group. The remaining Pipers (Billy Wilson, Chuck Lowry, <a href="spotify:artist:1Jqk46QvzUn7SnwmTGX6Cw">Jo Stafford</a>, and her then-husband John Huddleston) joined the <a href="spotify:artist:4WoGga7UeRcmjD4ufif4nG">Tommy Dorsey Band</a> in 1939, backing <a href="spotify:artist:1Mxqyy3pSjf8kZZL4QVxS0">Sinatra</a> on many classic recordings. In 1942 the Pied Pipers broke away from <a href="spotify:artist:4WoGga7UeRcmjD4ufif4nG">Dorsey</a>, and Huddleston joined the army, to be replaced by Hal Hopper, one of the original eight members. The group backed <a href="spotify:artist:5cBHm2CXrbncYIDzrxF4Vi">Johnny Mercer</a> on several tracks during the early 40s, including "Candy" and "Blues in the Night." Their first single ("Deacon Jones"/"Pistol Packin' Mama") was released in 1943. <a href="spotify:artist:1Jqk46QvzUn7SnwmTGX6Cw">Stafford</a> had become quite busy with her solo career and left the group in 1944, to be replaced by <a href="spotify:artist:1nolwXRzdKtuxpp9q0UrVW">June Hutton</a>. Throughout the rest of the decade the Pied Pipers charted frequently, yet their popularity waned in the '50s. A group bearing the Pied Pipers' name still tours today. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
