Mr Concertman.This isn't a phony Driftes or Coasters group put together by unscrupulous promoters.This is a tribute group of veteran N.Y. singers paying homage to a great local group-not someone ripping off international superstars.
Butch-thanks for keeping the sound going.Some of us don't realize the music is 50 plus years old.We've lost so many of the originators-thankfully this great music will remain as an important part of our heritage and culture.
Thanks ABR for posting this-yes many of the groups or members have left us.The window is closing on the originators of this music but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate those that continue the legacy.Enjoy it while you can.
@beefoneeto CONTINUING THE LEGECY IS ONE THING ,BUT CALLING YOURSELVES SOMETHING YOUR NOT ,IS ANOTHER ! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS IS A TRIBUTE GROUP ,NOT THE ORIGINALS ,AND ALSO CHECK TO SEE WHO ACTUALLY HOLDS THE TRADEMARK TO THE PARAGONS YOULL BE SURPRIZED TO KNOW NON OF THEM DO . CHECK OUT THE TRUTH IN MUSIC ACT ,OR LAW ON THE INTERNET , IT TELLS THE WHOLE STORY . Dont get dupped by groups like this tribute group calling themselves something their not "the paragons"
This group sounds like popping-corn screaming for help. If it has no original members, as is claimed in posts here, who wants to hear imitators who don't even have the sound all-round? Yuk.
I really appreciate Mr.Allen Butch Ransom, WhoFormed the New Paragons,And not let the Sound Die. What counts is "He has the Spirit of "The Paragons" And, They sound very great too. After all they're singing live, with a noisy aduience. But, I Thank you Mr Ransom, For taking this Artistic Venture into the past. And, I'm sure it's not the money, "It your Dedication to this Great Music.
So, To you Mr Ken, Get A Life! Thank God The Paragons are still around.
Well, we appreciate all comments; However, making declarations without facts is inappropriate & just not nice. Yes... all the original members R passed away. As R many groups now {sadly}.The world is slowly losing many great singers. Our assistant has been working on our genealogy & We will have her post the genealogy to keep U & all the fans aware of what is real & not real. We, the PARAGONS, R not Fake. We R Legitimately & Genealogically & Legally the REAL Paragons.
Since U have repeatedly posted negative & incorrect information on our page, we would, & those who read this page would appreciate, what your reasoning is. Making incorrect & inaccurate declarations on a public webpage is possible, but unethical. Please take the time to share your concerns with us directly or here on the webpage, instead making comments without having any facts & certainly not being in the United States or in New York & being 15 years old.
Nevertheless, we R actually pleased that someone as young as U is interested in this music form. Keep listening & keep learning. When U come to NYC, we would be happy to have U come to one of our shows. We R also scheduled to perform in Canada, this year. When we R in Toronto we will keep U informed. Be Well, the Legendary Hall of Fame Paragons
When I first heard the album "The Paragons meet The Jesters" back around 1960, I flipped out, And this was a neighbor of mine playing it out the window with his speakers.
I went to his apt, I ran immediately to the Record Shop and purchased it.If it was'nt for "The Paragons and The Jesters" I don't think "Frankie Valli, Lou Christie, The Newbeats, To mention a few would've caught on to that Falsetto sound.
Great, Where is TJ Lebinsky? When are the Paragons, Going to be on PBS?
I have the Original album on "Jubilee" And also the "Josie' Label, And their 2nd Album, Which is just as "Great" With their Photos on the Album, Nr Mint.
What ever happened to your rival group The Jesters?
There is a new gtoup of JESTERS in the making. Sadly, as with many of these groups, we are getting older and leaving this place. The girlfrined of one of the original Jesters is putting this new group together. We hope that they will be out there soon singing and performing!
PLEASE NOTE: THE PARAGONS HISTORY IS CURRENTLT BEING REVISED AND UPDATED, A COMPLETE HISTORY AND GENEOLOGY OF THE GROUP WILL BE AVAILBALE FOR ALL THE FANS. wE WILL POST A COMPLETE MUSIC LISTING AND THE GROUP GENEOLOGY FOR OUR FANS!PLEASE BE PATIENT FOR MORE DETAILS ARE COMING. Thank you! The Paragons
