decent effort here but by no means close to the classic version by the great jesters group.this is generally the result whenever a white group attempts to "cover" the sides first released by their black counterparts! thank you soooooooo much for the post. tom d brick,nj
HERE IS DADS GREAT LITTLE of many ACCOMPLISHMENTS other than that there are his children that became famous by me the first daughter I followed doing the giving thing not copywriting Like his famous tradegdy of the MELODY To PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON made for different lyrics A CHRISTMAS TUNE... I was there! I went ahead and gave our friend around 30 great dramadies movies and tv away for near nothing... He gets royalties I get the allocation that my mom is taken care of. I got car always.
@bucket1956 Oh my name is Dorothy Catalano, dad is Vinny Catalano his other children are Well go to myspace to see, one I just discovered this year. Still Dad won't fess up. I made them very rich.
This record was done by the Excellants, but this was not done by lead singer, Jokn Kuse and th original group. There was some kind of legal problem at this time also including some other records this "Excellants" recorded.
According to John Kuse, this is the original group.. You're thinking of I Hear A Rhapsody / Why Did You Laugh on the Blast label. That "Excellents" was actually a group from Brooklyn called The Ultimates. Apparently the Excellents and Vinny Catalano didn't get along, causing the break up.
The Excellents are from The Bronx

I like some of these old songs, most of all the ballads.
