Presenting...The Topix

EDDIE & THE EMERALDS

THE TOPIX

The Topix was formed in circa 1963 by combining members of 2 other groups. They mainly performed at parties and dances in Greenpoint. They could often be heard on the street corners or in Winthrop Park drawing a crowd of listeners. The group consisted of Frank (The Monk) Dmuchowski (first tenor/lead); Stan (Goofy) Altyn (second tenor/lead); Tom Orbanski (baritone/lead); Mike (Ox) Urban (bass).
