I am gonna guess and say the Dixie Hummingbirds?
It's possible,but not this time.
Could it be The Mills Brothers?
Ummm...no!!
Moonglows perhaps
Maybe it seems too obvious , but David Eddie and Dennis all gave much credt to Smokey and The Miracles, certainly as a mentor

From Wikipedia entry for Ruby and the Romantics
"Ruby & The Romantics were known throughout the music industry for their smooth, rich, full-range harmonies-from high tenor, to deep, abyssmal bass. In a 2011 interview with Ruby, Tom Meros of Rock and Roll Universe revealed that, according to Damon Harris, David Ruffin, and Eddie Kendricks of The Temptations ,the background harmonies of Ruby & The Romantics on "Our Day Will Come",actually served as the original model for The Temptations' background harmonies in 1963.[6] In this, The Romantics proved very influential.The group was also very influential on the music of The Carpenters, who recorded no less than three of their tunes [[see below),and Donny and Marie Osmond, who also covered several of their songs."
