Fabulous quintet from Washington Heights who even did a popular commercial for a personal product on TV appearing as a barbershop quartet singing the product's jingle. Co-lead & baritone, Marty Trautman, passed away on Xmas 2011 while Al Conde is somewhere in the Riverdale area of New York City; where are the others?
