I saw this group play live in 1978 or 79 at the Milky Way night club in Scarsdale, N.Y. It was awesome!

[Roblopez1962]

@port2344chester Man I can remember vividly the great time I had. I was only 17. The live performances that night were unforgettable and everybody was dancing all over the club. It was a packed house & the energy was electrifying! Wish I could do all over again.

Rio is a beautiful city,but people steal cause the elites want it all,time to raise wages and give back education and opportunities to the poor and working poor..,,this happens in Argentina,Uruguay and Chile .

viva BraSil

[trailboyus66]

Would like to hear him in The Glass Bottle doing Sorry Suzzane from 1970. This is really good that he did disco which took his music well into the late 70's.

I just uploaded Tony Rallo - Travelin Flights Of My Mind. Dont know if you know this, maybe you'd like it. Wonder if I should upload the hole A side of this Gary Criss, that medley is quite good.

[Tom3030]
