There is more than one artist with this name: #1 The Spiders were an American rhythm & blues vocal group from New Orleans, who achieved their greatest fame in the 1950s. The group was founded as a gospel group in 1947 under the name Zion City Harmonizers, and later sang as the Delta Southernaires, recording and performing on radio under the latter name in 1952-53. Cosimo Matassa convinced them to begin singing secular music, and in 1953 the five-piece signed with Imperial Records under the name The Spiders.
