Nino and the Ebb Tides were a doo-wop recording group based in the Bronx, New York, formed in 1956.[3]

Their first recording, Franny Franny, released as "The Ebb Tides", was the result of meeting talent scout Murray Jacobs in 1957[5] and was widely played by Alan Freed.[6]

Later releases were on Jacobs' newly formed Recorte Records[4][7] before moving on to Madison Records.[1]

One of their recordings, "Jukebox Saturday Night" was a cover of a Glenn Miller tune.[8] On September 4. 1961, their "Jukebox Saturday Night" charted on Billboard's Top 100, reaching number 57.[4]
