Michael and the Continentals were from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn and consisted of Michael Zarzana (lead), Dennis Muro (first tenor), Joey Noto (second tenor), Mark Weiner (baritone) and Billy Schlanger (bass).
Originally, Tony Battiglia was the 2nd tenor but Michael asked Joey Noto to take his place. They started singing in the early 1960s on the street corners of Brooklyn, the group sang professionally for 10 years. In 1967 they recorded "Little School Girl" / "Rain In My Eyes" for Audio Fidelity records. There are many unreleased doowop cuts by the Continentals, produced by Barney Zarzana of the Bay Bops and brother of Michael.
