Marvin Berry and the Starlighters were a fictional band featured in the iconic 1985 film "Back to the Future." The band is best known for their performance at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance where Marty McFly plays guitar during the song "Earth Angel" to ensure his parents' future relationship.
In reality, the performance of "Earth Angel" in the movie was not done by Marvin Berry and the Starlighters. The song was originally recorded by The Penguins in 1954. It became a classic doo-wop hit and is often associated with the nostalgic 1950s era.
