"Sh-Boom (Life Could Be a Dream)" (James Keyes - Claude Feaster - Carl Feaster - Floyd F. McRae - James Edwards) was composed and released by The Chords in 1954. This hit the top ten pop and R&B charts.

The Crew Cuts (details elsewhere) cover of "Sh-Boom" was issued later that year and topped the Billboard chart. The song has been featured on many movie soundtracks and video games.
