  • The Midnighters byla americká R&B hudební skupina, která vznikla v Detroitu v Michiganu v roce 1952 jako kapela The Royals. Původní jméno si kapela změnila, aby se nepletlo s již existující kapelou . Je to jedna z nejdůležitějších a nejvlivnějších kapel padesátých a počátku šedesátých let, která pomocí několika svých hitů vymezila R&B styl z období 60. let. Kapela se zasloužila o vytvoření tance Twist a vytvořila propojení mezi jazzovou první polovinou 20. století a jeho rockovou druhou polovinou. Kromě R&B totiž do své tvorby zahrnula také prvky rock & rollu a doo-wopu. Mezi lety 1953 až 1962 vydala skupina téměř 24 hitů, které se umístily na amerických R&B žebříčcích, mezi něž patří „Finger Popping Time“, který byl nominován na Cenu Grammy v roce 1961. Dalšími hity jsou „Let's Go,Let's G (cs)
