"Witch Doctor" was a huge hit, going to US #1 in April 1958 and staying for three weeks. The song was written and performed by Ross Bagdasarian Sr. but under the stage-name of David Seville. Soon after, 'David Seville' created three distinct voices and branded his act The Chipmunks. Later that year, he released "The Chipmunk Song" which went to #1 for four weeks and became a Christmas favorite. Alvin And The Chipmunks got their own TV show (The Alvin Show) in 1961, again in 1983 (Alvin and the Chipmunks), and once again in 2015 (ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks). Several movies have also appeared, starting with The Chipmunk Adventure in 1987.
