Doris Day, The Four Lads, Frank Sinatra (Dad), Dean Martin (Mom), but also some early rock 'n roll. When the 60's came along my Dad became a huge fan of The 4 Seasons, Lesley Gore and The Supremes. Mom stayed a little closer to the earlier stuff but surprised me often enough by expressing appreciation for one of my records.

TLAF and her sisters were quite the dancers and they loved to jitterbug. SO, TLAF listened to a lot of early rock and roll. She had it on the radio in her store. Also Sinatra. Lots of Sinatra and Dean Martin.

Marietta, my Italian grandmother, had 78s of Jan Peerce singing Bluebird of Happiness and Dinah Shore singing Buttons and Bows

8. I was born in 1929 in Mount Vernon, NY. After graduating from Syracuse U, I began working radio then became host of a popular TV show when the original host got busted for DUI. The show went national in 1957 and provided much-needed exposure for dozens of rock groups. Later, I somehow managed to be a game show host at the same time. Even later, I hosted a popular holiday rock n roll show.

3. Freddie Bell and the Bellboys

I have never heard of these guys. Well, OK, I guess that's not entirely true. I looked them up, and found that they were in a couple of rock 'n roll "make a quick buck" movies that I've seen. Looking at the clips, it still doesn't ring a "bell". :roll:

Just not very memorable, I guess. Then again, neither was "Get Yourself a College Girl".

Well, admittedly, he wasn't born yet. I shoulda stomped him flat.

Tells you everything you need to know about my "sweet spot," as far as these quizzes are going! LOLOLOL

Actually, I remember Freddie Bell and the Bellboys from a marquee at a Wildwood, NJ nightclub when I was a kid.

NOT to be confused with Steve Gibson and the Redcaps (sometimes with Damita Jo), who were a fixture at the Martinique in Wildwood when I was growing up.

TLAF and THFD were quite the fans of Steve Gibson and the Redcaps and took me to see them one night when the babysitter got sick. I was about six and drank ginger ale in a nightclub and I was hot stuff.
