THE JO-VALS...Laurie & Alwil records

The Jo-Vals from Brooklyn, New York...John Ferraro (Falsetto / Lead), Joe Mancuso (Baritone), Ron DaBruzzo (Tenor) and Phil Avella (Tenor). The group was managed by a New York City Police Officer named Al Diaco In Fall 1963, They recorded the excellent "You, You My Love" composed and arranged by Al Diaco  with the B side "Sometimes I'm Happy". The single will not be released until February 1964 by Laurie Records. 

In the Summer 1964, Al Diaco produce and arranged a second single, "Ballerina" / "I Want You (To Be My Girl)" released on the tiny label Alwil. That same year, appear another Jo-Vals group who was released under the Grove label, but it is not from the same group. It seems that the singer is Artie Loria.
