The Castletones With Cookie Delgardo On Lead Did Two Versions Of"Because Of You" One Fast The Other Slow. Wonder If It Was One Of Those??? Butch Testa--Original Lead.
WOW, great music, great group, this Bronx girl thought she knew every group that came out of the Bronx, of course, having hung around 187th St. never heard of this group, sad that a chain of events prevented them from going to the top. Good sound, thanks for this rare treat.
Wow I remember Cousins Records and Lou Chichetti great records he had a version of Because of You that was fantastic with a great starting base line always wanting to record us in his basement recording studio. Those really were the days!!
Eddie Black aka Schwartz -The Five Sharks, singing group!
Wow... This is a very, very, very rare record. I had no idea that they're from the Bronx. I've only seen one original copy of this one and it was on Black wax. I think Savoy pressed these up so I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it was pressed on yellow wax back then. One of my good friends sang with The Chesterfields from the same part of town.
NICE!

There is a mistake in this posting... The music and lyrics of "Now That Your Gone" were written by MARIO CARPARELLI.
