THE TREN-DELS aka THE TRENDS



The very famous doo wop group The Del Vikings (look for them on this blog) had Joe Lopez as an occasional guitarist in their first recordings for Fee Bee records, in 1959 he joined the group for Mercury records, after this experience at the end of 1959 Joe Lopez joined Tony Amaral, Jim Romero and Herbie Lopes in Philadelphia calling themselves The Trend-Dels and that same year in 1959 they recorded the songs "Silly Grin / Once Again" for Scope records as The Trends.
This recording took them on a tour of all the states of the country, but the group began to have problems since the colored members in some states were not well received, despite the problems they had the opportunity to perform at the American Band Stand , but everything definitely broke when Tony's wife got pregnant and he had to leave the group.
