Along with the occasional piano and backing vocals from the Jordanaires, The Blue Moon Boys played on several Elvis hits, including "Heartbreak Hotel", "Hound Dog", "Don't Be Cruel", and "Jailhouse Rock". The band toured extensively. Throughout 1956 and 1957, the band had several television appearances, which included "The Ed Sullivan Show". The band broke up in 1958 and Black never played with Fontana or Presley again afterward. He died in
The Who group. "Irish" Jack Lyons said, "The Who weren't a joke, they were fucking real, and so were we." Daltrey initially based his style on Motown and rock and roll, but from "Tommy" onwards he tackled a wider range of styles. His trademark sound with the band, as noted in 1983, has been a characteristic scream, as heard at the end of "Won't Get Fooled Again". Group backing vocals are prominent in the Who. After "I Can't Explain" used session men for backing vocals, Townshend and Entwistle resolved to do better themselves on subsequent releases, producing strong backing harmonies. Daltrey, Townshend
