RICHARD KELLY....WHAT A VOICE!!!
HE'S GOT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST WHITE DOO WOP LEAD SINGERS OF ALL TIME. I REMEMBER HEARRING "I DON'T WANT TO CRY" PLAYED ON THE OLD 60's NEW JERSEY BASED "DANNY STYLES RAIDO SHOW".
IT'S A SHAME HE HASN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY CURRENT NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY DOO WOP PRODUCTIONS. I KNOW HE'S STILL OUT THERE. A FEW YEARS AGO AT A NEW JERSEY FLEA MARKET I FOUND A FAIRLY RECENTLY PRODUCED ALBUM BY "RICHARD KELLY & FRIENDSHIP". THE MATERIAL WAS NOT DOO WOP BUT THE VOICE & HIS PICTURE SEEM TO BE THE SAME RICHARD KELLY WHO RECORDED
ALL THOSE VOCAL GROUP TRESURES.
C'MON NEW JERSEY....ANYBODY SEEN RICHIE!!!
