The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Tokens, Rayman’s Song Of The Day [VIDEO]

Originally known as the Linc-Tones  formed in 1955 at Lincoln High School. Hank Medress, Neil Sedaka, Eddie Rabkin, and Cynthia Zolitin didn't have much impact on their early  recordings and they soon  disbanded. Medress re-formed the group in 1960 as the Tokens. Brothers Phil and Mitch Margo and Jay Siegel were added. They had their one glorious hit in 1962, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." It was based on the South African Zulu song "Wimoweh,"
