The Toys, June Montiero, Barbara Harris, and Barbara Parritt, were formed in the early Sixties in Jamaica, New York. Harris and Parritt were both born in North Carolina, but moved to New York at an early age. They met June Montiero while attending Woodrow Wilson High School in New York and formed a group. After graduation they continued to sing together.
Bobby Uri, a friend of theirs, took them up to the music building at 1650 Broadway in Manhattan, where they began doing background vocal work. Then while at a talent show in Brooklyn, NY, they met Eddie Chase who would introduced them to several people who would be very instrumental in the launching of their career. Most notable was Mr. Bob Crewe of DynaVoice Records. Their manager, Vince Mark, renamed the group "The Toys".
In 1964 they were signed by the Publishing firm Genius, Inc. which teamed them with the song writing duo Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell who brought them to the attention of producer Bob Crewe. The writers took a classical finger exercise from Bach and put a Motown bassline to it and "A Lovers Concerto" was born. September 1965 "A Lover's Concerto" on the Dynavoice label went #4 R&B, crossed over to pop charts #2, and also became a #5 hit in England. In 1965 the song sold over a million copies. The Toys began appearing on television shows such as Shindig!, "Hullabullo", "American Bandstand," toured with Gene Pitney, and appeared in the film It's a Bikini World. "A Lover's Concerto" was followed by "Attack" (#18) in 1966.
n 1967 they signed with Phillips Records and Producer Alan Lauber. Then in 1968 they signed with Art Talmadge and Musicor Records. It was while at Musicor that the Toys recorded their last hit 1968's "Sealed With a Kiss." However, they continued to do session work. Barbara Harris has continued to use the name for touring purposes, and does "Oldie Shows" for Richard Nader, Dick Fox and, Herby Cox as Barbara Harris of The Toys.
