The Exciters were an American pop music group of the 1960s. They were originally a girl group, although a male member was added later. The group consisted of vibrant-voiced Brenda Reid (lead singer), her husband Herb Rooney, Carolyn Johnson, and Lillian Walker.

The Exciters' first hit, produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, was "Tell Him" (US #4) in late 1962. Other songs included "He's Got the Power," "Get Him," and the original "Do-Wah-Diddy," covered shortly after its appearance by Manfred Mann, (as "Do-Wah-Diddy-Diddy") for whom it was an international hit.
