The Virtues were an early American rock & roll band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The group formed around leader Frank Virtue (1922–1987), who played the violin as a child and took up the guitar and the double bass as a teenager. He continued with the latter as a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra and studied orchestration at Temple University. He enlisted in the Navy in 1945 and became bandleader of the Regular Navy Dance Band in Bainbridge, Maryland. Read more on
