In the late 50's and early 60's at all the Asbury schools in New Jersey the Doo Wop sound was well introduced to both black and white youth and Patsy & The Prells was a group created by those youth, Patsy Siciliano, Frank Campanelli, John Petillo and Antony Orifici (Guitar). Later, Anthony Castellucia replaced Pat Siciliano.
The group recorded a demo vinyl with the songs "Bo-La-Le La-Le-La" / "I Believe" and although they were presented to various record labels none were interested in those songs, The Prells toured the New York, New Jersey , Pennsylvania Tri-State area, opening up for the 'Dick Clark Caravan of Stars' Summer tours and other recording acts of the era such as the Temptations, 4 Tops, 4 Seasons, Supremes, The Drifters the Tokens and many others. The Prells without any official recording disbanded in 1966.

On some web pages there is a recording by a group under the name of The Prells in 1963_It's a Wig / Peter Gunn, but In the doo wop guides were listed with a different B Side ...
-It's A Wing/Cash. Skymac Records-1964.
It is unknown if these recordings have any relationship with the aforementioned group.
