Not as big as his dad in France

Gary Lewis & The Playboys: Gary Lewis, the son of famed comedian Jerry Lewis, formed Gary Lewis & The Playboys who played their first gigs to a sold out crowd in Disneyland. Their single "This Diamond Ring" hit #1 in the charts in '65, though Lewis claimed that producer Snuff Garrett did not let them play their own instruments save for backup tracks on the recording  in order to maximize the success of the album. This created a problem when Gary & the Playboys were asked to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show as musical guest were expected to preform live. Since the song was so over produced, the show was forced to let them play with a pre-recorded backup track. Regardless, Gary went on to win Crash Box's Male Vocalist of the Year award, beating out Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.
