The Cascades: American vocal group formed in 1960 and influenced by the Beach Boys vocal harmony. Best known for the single "Rhythm of the Rain", issued in November 1962, it rose to #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1963; becoming a major hit in over 80 countries. It peaked at #5 in the UK Singles Chart.. "Rhythm of the Rain" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.
The Cascades continued to record,but did not match the charm or success of their big hit. The group continued to receive major radio airplay in their hometown, San Diego. The Cascades' cover version of Bob Lind's "Truly Julie's Blues" received spins on KCBQ and KGB in 1966.
The group reformed twice, in 1995 and 2004, touring the US and the Philippines, where they retained a fan following. A compilation CD of the Cascades' best moments was issued in 1999.
In April 2012, with the initiative of the Filipino religious leader Bro. Eli Soriano, The Cascades participated at a benefit concert held at the ADD Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga, Philippines. Aside from reintroducing the music of The Cascades to both old fans and younger generation, the event also supported projects involving Bible expositions.
