Moving along
into the 1960's, Doo-Wop (1950's & early 60's) music was being
replaced by many other muscial groups, brought on by the British
invasion and
Motown.
Groups like The Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Rolling Stones, Smokey
Robinson, The Temptations and many more. |

those of
you
who like your classical music, here's a little something from me to you. |

If you're like me and enjoy listening to
the great Tenors of our time like Caruso, Pavarotti &
Bocelli, than you are in for a real treat.
Let me intrduce you to another great Tenor from Europe (Great Britain)
who
can now be added to this elite list. His name is Russell Watson
and is another person who, in Europe, is simply known as "The Voice".
Listen to his
rendition of "Nesum
Dorma" by
clicking on his picture. |

I recently read an article on another site
referencing a young
neighborhood man named Pat Mazzillo who tragically died in 1959.
Pat was the lead singer of a Doo-Wop group called
the Plurals, he was my family's paperboy and also a friend to Richard
Lorenzo.
Another member of the group is a friend of mine named Carl "Dukie"
Anderson who recently retired after many years with the GSP, lives in
Bricktown and still sings whenever he gets the chance.
I am happy now to present two songs by the Plurals.
Goodnite
