The Dynamics toured right out of high school .The band, consisting of Albert Price, Walter Price, Walter Popdora, Chester Popdora, Bill Jennings and Paul Nocilla, traveled up and down the east coast in a big DeSoto for gigs, even performing on the Dick Clark Show. They Cut three Singles For Arc & Decca Records and backed Skip Milo on "Jo Baby" b/w "What's Wrong With Me" on the Arc label. When the stardom wore off and the group started to go in different directions, Nocilla sang with Joey Dee and the Starliters.

I discovered the Dynamics from Plainfield in the late 50s and had them record a song I wrote entitled How Should I Feel. I featured them on my WNJR radio show as well and had them do some backup sessions which included Roosevelt Grier the football player turned recording artist. The Starlets aka The Angels were sometimes combined with them for backups also.
My father Walter Price and his brother Al Price are in that pic...he's got some great stories of those times. Said he met Frankie Valli before he became big. My favorite song of theirs is "The Girl By The Gate," which I even had played at my wedding. I revisit their songs from time to time for a big smile!
