[eddiejazz100]

tommy ricks (tenor) was my brother, i remeber this quite well. this was my mom's favorite.Donny hogan was a genuis. he'd write music from a simple idea and develope it to fruition.dreamlovers set the groundwork for a lot of greoups out of philly,(intruders,etc.)

[eddiejazz100]

my name is eddie ryder. i am the brother of tommy ricks, the tenor,i cried like a baby when i heard these songs. i remember as a young kid, listening to my brother and morris and cliff,ray, and cleve.harmony so tight and true you couldnt get a needle through it. they were certainly the most underated group there was.

Two memebers of this group are my cousins, I am not familiar with a lot of their stuff, but I am intrigued by it. I really need to get in touch with them and gain some knowledge about the group.

@kpitt1204 Wow - thanks for this trivia - so cool to know some from the group are still with us. Tell your cousins we all said "THANK YOU" for making our teenage years the very best! The Dreamlovers have so many dancing-on-a-dime songs. LOL!!!!

[kpitt1204]

@CheckMate657879 I will make it a point to do so, and you have inspired me to give them a call. I have not talked to them in years. I actually used to talk to Ray quite regularly. He is a wealth of information.

[CheckMate657879]

@kpitt1204 Thanks for responding. I'll be on the look out for your follow-up.
