The Spanish Doo Wop group, the Velvet Candles, has new songs in their repertoire and one of them "Your Eyes" has a good sound to the white group of the 60's, The Earls. Furthermore, said song has been written by Ralf Zur Linde of the famous german group, The Crystalairs.

Advertising flyer for Johnny Maestro and the Crests with Lois Lee (Joey Dee's wife), in which it is said that they recorded for APT records so it must be the single they released in 1964/65 on this record label "Phone Booth On The Highway / She's Mine Alone".

No information found on this disc, perhaps this 45 rpm is a private recording by Dick Muse a McKeesport doo-wopper who started out in 1956 with the Condors and had a group called The Laurels who recorded in 1961 under the name of The Pennants for World records, in the 80's Dick reunited another group with the name of The Laurels. I think it's about this group... https://whitedoowopcollector.blogspot.com/2009/11/laurels-aka-pennants-aka-laurels.html

Donnie Iris (born Dominic Ierace, February 28, 1943) is an American rock musician known for his work with the Jaggerz and Wild Cherry during the 1970s, and for his solo career beginning in the 1980s with his band, the Cruisers. He wrote the #2 Billboard hit, "The Rapper", with the Jaggerz in 1970 and was a member of Wild Cherry after the group had a #1 hit with "Play That Funky Music." He also achieved fame as a solo artist in the early 1980s with the #29 hit "Ah! Leah!" and the #37 hit "Love Is Like a Rock."
About the time he was a senior in high school (circa 1961) he formed a vocal doo-wop group called the Fabutons (see above) with Johnny Roth, Anthony Matteo, Lou Delessandro and Chuckie Hasson and performed gigs around Beaver and Lawrence counties in Pennsylvania. However, the group only performed a few times before they disbanded and Ierace went to college.
