Los Ad Libs son un grupo musical estadounidense de soul de Bayonne, Nueva Jersey. Formado en 1964, el grupo estaba compuesto por Hugh Harris, Danny Austin, Dave Watt, Norman Donegan y Mary Ann Thomas. Su éxito llegó con el lanzamiento de "The Boy from New York City" en diciembre de 1964, un sencillo escrito por George Davis y John T. Taylor. La canción alcanzó el número 8 en la lista Hot 100 de EE.UU. en marzo de 1965. Tras este éxito, lanzaron "He Ain't No Angel", que alcanzó el número 100 en 1965. A pesar de que los siguientes sencillos no consiguieron entrar en las listas de éxitos, su contrato con Red Bird Records no fue renovado. En 1969, The Ad Libs lograron un último éxito en las listas de R&B con "Giving Up", que alcanzó el número 34 en la lista Billboard R&B de Estados Unidos. Siguieron grabando hasta principios de la década de 1980, pero nunca lograron repetir el éxito de su primer sencillo. Varios miembros de The Beach Boys, entre ellos Brian Wilson, se inspiraron en "The Boy from New York City" y crearon "Good Vibrations". Las versiones de su éxito realizadas por Darts en 1978 y The Manhattan Transfer en 1981 la devolvieron a las listas de éxitos. Mary Ann Thomas fallece de cáncer de páncreas. Dave Watt falleció el 5 de diciembre de 2008; Danny Austin, en 2016; Norman Donegan, en diciembre de 2022.
