I sang first tenor for This Group after Jimmy Ponticelli left the group
We then recorded for GMC records, Gino Moretti, President and had a tune called Baby Pack On Which was a Northern Soul Hit. I then sang with The Mystics in Florida and wrote Hushabye Again the sequel if you will to Hushabye which is on Collectables........Mike Miller
