From 1994 Joe Grimaldi with new members singing in several shows as The Ecstasies...
I used to go to the Penn Fruit Supermarket which was around the corner from where I lived in West Oak Lane. They would sing in an alcove between the supermarket and the cleaners which was enclosed on three sides of which two sides were brick and one side was a plate glass window. There was also a roof. Talk about a great sounding echo chamber. I wish I had gotten to know those guys better but I was just a kid sitting on a windowsill listening. When I think about it I was actually too afraid to say anything I just listened. Boy do I remember "Lucky Old Sun". They sang it every time they were there. I thought it was a great song then and still do today. I thought I remembered two brothers who were twins in the group. Since there is no mention of that here I probably just thought they were twins. I was kinda young at the time, Between The Ecstasies and The Beatles I also got involved in show biz. I just want to thank you guys for all those great musical nights. It's been a great ride for me from day one at the Penn Fruit until now, Thank you.
