Die Ad Libs sind eine amerikanische Soul-Musikgruppe aus Bayonne, New Jersey. Die Gruppe wurde 1964 gegründet und bestand aus Hugh Harris, Danny Austin, Dave Watt, Norman Donegan und Mary Ann Thomas. Der Durchbruch gelang ihnen im Dezember 1964 mit der Veröffentlichung von "The Boy from New York City", einer von George Davis und John T. Taylor geschriebenen Single. Der Song erreichte im März 1965 Platz 8 der US Hot 100. Nach diesem Erfolg veröffentlichten sie "He Ain't No Angel", das 1965 die Nummer 100 erreichte. Obwohl die folgenden Singles nicht in die Charts kamen, wurde ihr Vertrag mit Red Bird Records nicht verlängert. 1969 erzielten die Ad Libs mit "Giving Up" einen letzten R&B-Hit, der auf Platz 34 der US Billboard R&B-Charts landete. Sie setzten ihre Aufnahmen bis in die frühen 1980er Jahre fort, konnten aber nie an den Erfolg ihrer Debütsingle anknüpfen. Mehrere Mitglieder der Beach Boys, darunter Brian Wilson, ließen sich von "The Boy from New York City" inspirieren, was zur Entstehung von "Good Vibrations" führte. Coverversionen ihres Hits durch Darts im Jahr 1978 und The Manhattan Transfer im Jahr 1981 brachten den Song zurück in die Charts. Mary Ann Thomas starb an Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs. Dave Watt verstarb am 5. Dezember 2008, Danny Austin im Jahr 2016 und Norman Donegan im Dezember 2022.
