The Mello-Moods were an American R&B musical ensemble, operating from the late 1940s to mid-1950s.
Their members were Ray "Buddy" Wooten, Bobby Williams, Monteith P. "Monte" Owens, Alvin "Bobby" Baylor and Jimmy Bethea. Composed of teenagers, the group's music was nonetheless focused on an adult market. After the band broke up in 1953, Baylor, Owens and Williams went to join another band, The Solitaires.
Monte Owens died on March 3, 2011 in the Bronx, New York, after illness, at the age of 74.[1]
