Shep and the Limelites was a popular American doo-wop group in the early 1960s. James Sheppard ("Shep") and Clarence Bassett, both from Queens, New York, and Charles Baskerville (d. 18 January 1998, New York City),originally from Virginia, formed a group in Queens in 1960. This was initially billed as Shane Sheppard and the Limelites, but quickly became Shep and the Limelites. All three had previous experience in other groups when they formed the group: Shep in The Heartbeats (notable for "A Thousand Miles Away"); Bassett in The Five Sharps and then, with Baskerville, in The Videos.
