The Tymes, an American soul vocal group, were formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1956, first under the name of the Latineers. The original members included Donald Banks on bass, Al "Ceasar" Berry as first tenor, Norman Burnett as baritone, and George Hilliard as second tenor. After performing on Philadelphia's club circuit for four years, they welcomed George Williams as lead vocalist in 1960 and changed their name to the Tymes. Their breakthrough came with the release of "So Much in Love", which topped the US charts and became a million-seller in 1963. The group enjoyed significant success in both the UK and the US, with hits such as Johnny Mathis cover "Wonderful! Wonderful!" and "Somewhere" in the 1960s, and "You Little Trustmaker" and "Ms Grace" in the 1970s, with the latter reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart in 1975. By 1976, Albert Berry and George Hilliard had been swapped for female singers Terri Gonzales and Melanie Moore. The Tymes continued to perform and release music, including the single "Brothers And Sisters" in 1980. Their song "So Much in Love" was chosen for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)'s Songs of the Century project in 2001, and they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2005. The group continues to perform with surviving original members Al "Ceasar" Berry, John Stone, and Norman Burnett. Deceased members include George Williams, Donald Banks, and George Hilliard.
