Celeste was one of the many short-lived (A little more than one year in duration) record label which specialized in R&b and headquartered in New York City during the middle fifties heyday of Rock'n Roll. The label owned by David Levitt sign a recording contract with the Minors for a single in 1957. The Minors were Yvonne Lee, Ernesto Colon, Benny Travies, Frankin Millin, Raymond "Rayfall" Diaz and Harry Hillard . In 1957 the Minors appeared at the a apollo theater along with the Cadillacs, Crazy Cris Columbo and his "wild" Combo, Linda Hopkins, George Holmes and Spence Twins.
Some months later, Benny Travies, Raymond "Rayfall" Diaz & Harry Hillard join Joe Robles & Fred Orange to form the Excels. The new group cut "You're Mine Forever" b/w "Baby Doll" for Central record with Al Browns & His Orchestra. According to Excels' member Joe Robles and Bobby Diskin, the group continued for a while and recorded several songs "My Foolish Heart", "Just You And I Together", "Can't Help Lovin' That Girl Of Mine" and "'Til You Were Gone". Their songs were released years after the group disbanded, the first two were released on Gone Records in 1960, the next two on RSVP in 1961.
