"Gee", is a song by American R&B and Doo-wop group the Crows, released in June 1953. The song has been credited as the first rock and roll hit by a rock and roll group. It is a doo-wop song, written by William Davis and Viola Watkins, and recorded by the Crows on the independent label, Rama Records, at Beltone Studios in New York City in February 1953. It charted in April 1954, one year later. It took a year to get recognized on Your Hit Parade. It landed No.2 on the rhythm and blues chart and No. 14 on the pop chart. It was the first 1950s doo-wop record to sell over one million records. Recorded on an independent label, it was one of the first such R&B records to crossover to the wider pop market.In fact, some, including Jay Warner, consider it as the first of the "rock n' roll records".

  • Gee (Engl. für den Ausruf Mann!, Mensch!) ist ein Doo-Wop-Song, der von William Davies und Viola Watkins geschrieben und im Februar 1953 von The Crows in New York beim Independent-Label veröffentlicht wurde. Es erreichte 1954 Platz 2 in den Rhythm and Blues-Billboard-Charts und Platz 14 in den Billboard-Pop-Charts und wurde in der damals sehr beliebten Musiksendung gespielt. Als erste Doo-Wop-Aufnahme der 1950er Jahre verkaufte es sich mehr als eine Million Mal. Gee war eine der ersten Rhythm-and-Blues-Aufnahmen, die als Crossover auch in den Pop-Charts erfolgreich war.
