There are multiple artists named The Playmates:
1. This humorous US pop trio comprised Donny Conn (29 March 1930), Morey Carr (b. 31 July 1932) and Chic Hetti (b. 26 February 1930), all from Waterbury, Connecticut, USA. They formed the comedy and music trio the Nitwits while studying at the University of Connecticut and started touring in 1952 with an act that relied more on humor than singing ability. Renamed the Playmates, they made their first record, I Only Have Myself To Blame, on Rainbow in 1956. They moved to Roulette Records in 1957 and their third single on that label,
Jo Ann, a cover version of the Twin Tones’ record, hit the US Top 20 in 1958. Over the next four years the clean-cut vocal group chalked up another nine US chart entries including the Top 20 hits What is Love? and Beep Beep, which reached number 4 in the USA. They later recorded on ABC-Paramount, Colpix, Congress and Bell but their sound proved too dated to sell in the 60s.
2. The Playmates was a Swedish power pop band with its roots in punk and 60s garage. They existed alongside more well-known groups such as The Nomads and released their first album in 1986, called Long Sweet Dreams. At that point some members had already left to form The Wayward Souls.
There is a great interview from the mid-80s on this unofficial website:
