    BOBBY RYDELL is an American teen idol from the early 1960s. His performance in Bye Bye Birdie and his recordings ’We Got Love,” "Wild One" and "Volare" were smash hits.

     FRANKIE LYMON’S LEGENDARY TEENAGERS   It was 1955 when this New York group called The Premiers renamed themselves The Teenagers and later that year recorded ’Why Do Fools Fall In Love” which reached #1 on the charts.

     JAY AND THE AMERICANS   charted an unprecedented ’12” top 10 records from 1962-1971. Their first record was ’Tonight” (from the Broadway Musical West Side Story), and their breakout-hit song was ’She Cried.”

     KENNY VANCE   has been making music since he was fourteen years old. It was in 1978 for the movie "American Hot Wax" that the Planotones were first formed. Kenny reformed the group in 1992 and they have recorded three CD's to date.

     TERRY JOHNSON’S FLAMINGOS   are well-known for their satiny signature song ’I Only Have Eyes for You.” They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

     TOMMY MARA   is the present day lead singer and owner of The Crests. Mara sings from the heart and will thrill you with hits that include "Sixteen Candles."


     THE DUBS are best remembered for their enduring Top 40 Doo-Wop classic "Could This Be Magic". Between 1957 and 1959, two more Top 100 hits were on the national pop charts, "Don't Ask Me to Be Lonely" and ’Chapel of Dreams’.
