The Olympics, grupo estadounidense de doo-wop, se formó en 1957 en Los Ángeles, California. La formación original incluía al cantante Walter Ward, Eddie Lewis, Charles Fizer, Walter Hammond y Melvin King. Su primer sencillo se publicó bajo el nombre de Walter Ward and the Challengers,"I Can Tell", en Melatone Records. Tras cambiar de nombre, lanzaron "Western Movies" en 1958, que alcanzó el número ocho en la lista Billboard Hot 100. La canción encarnaba la música más popular del país. La canción encarnaba la fascinación del país por las películas y los programas de televisión de temática del Oeste. En 1959, grabaron "(Baby) Hully Gully", que inició la moda del baile Hully Gully. Durante la década siguiente, The Olympics publicaron animadas canciones de R&B, a menudo sobre las últimas tendencias de baile de la época, como "Big Boy Pete" en 1960 y "Good Lovin'" en 1965. En 1984, Rhino Records publicó el LP The Official Record Album of The Olympics, que recogía algunas de las grabaciones del grupo de los años cincuenta y sesenta. A pesar de las impugnaciones legales, el álbum supuso un hito importante para el grupo. Walter Ward falleció el 11 de diciembre de 2006. Eddie Lewis, el último miembro original, falleció el 31 de mayo de 2017. Los miembros restantes de The Olympics siguieron actuando en el circuito oldies de Estados Unidos y otros países.
