THE FAVORITES ... London records

 THE FAVORITES.

-I Love You, Baby / Stay Little Girl. London records-1958 (Montreal, Canada).

Featuring Bill Rotari...

Born in his beloved Montreal, Bill found two other passions that encompassed his life - sports and music. He loved all sports but baseball was his game from him. He played professionally in the Braves organization, enjoyed coaching his son de él and if the Expos were playing, he was there front and center. He loved baseball, but hockey was a close second with his obsession with the Boston Bruins. Canadian fans have all won and lost many bets with him over the years. His second passion of him was Music. He was a self-taught musician, who played, wrote and sang music from a child in the choir, to early adulthood with his quartet "The Favorites" to his last song “On a Christmas Night” which he recorded in 2020.

His career in the music industry spanned across Capitol, CBS and Sony Music. He was instrumental in organizing John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Bed-In recording of "Give Peace a Chance" and in the signing of the incredible Celine Dion at Sony Music. Although retired for over 20 years, he continued to search for talent and work on numerous projects right up until his passing of him on March 25th, 2022.

His song "I Love You, Baby" is available on YouTube and it has a poor doo wop sound, I haven't been able to listen to the other side so I don't know if it has more doo wop sound than the aforementioned song.
